Alphans earned top places during the First UP Law Dean’s Cup Triathlon last August 30.

Brod Mark Anthony “Marko” Samson ’93 was first in the Alumni Category while Brod Timothy Joseph “TJ” Isla ’99 finished seventh over-all and first in the Fraternity Category. Brod Rafael Guillermo ’06 placed second over-all.

Resident and alumni brods also participated in the relay race and fun run around the UP Diliman campus.

The Dean’s Cup Invitational Triathlon and Fun Run with the theme “Swim, Bike, Run for Peace Based on Justice” was organized to raise funds for the Office of Legal Aid (OLA). The OLA “houses the clinical education program of the College of Law.” Funding for OLA is crucial since providing “free legal assistance to indigent litigants” has become too costly. Students taking their internship here have been forced to shell out their own money for processing documents and transportation during the course of the program.

Also, the Dean’s Cup was an opportunity for the three biggest fraternities in the College to work together for the event as co-presentors together with the UP Law Class of 1984 and the Law Student Government.

With the success of the First Dean’s Cup, the Fraternity together with the UP Law community looks forward to next year’s festivities.
