“Noong natapos ang JPIAlympics at inannounce na PUP JPIA Manila ang second overall champion, sobrang saya namin ni Grezel [Vice President for Non-Academic Affairs]. Ang fulfilling sa pakiramdam kasi ang dami naming pinagdaanan from trainings, pagpapagawa ng jersey, paghahanap ng service at paghahanap ng sponsors. We are deeply proud of our athletes because they really worked hard despite of these hindrances. Of course, all of these would not be possible without the help of the NA [Non- Academics] Department, our LC president Erica, MIRADLAYA EOs, our advisers and the whole PUP JPIA Manila community. Overall, it was a memorable experience,” said Adigail Capanang, Associate Vice President for Non-Academic Affairs on an interview regarding the success of the PUP JPIAns.

The event was headed by the Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants - De La Salle Araneta University, Adamson University - Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants, and Far Eastern University - Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants are more than prepared to bring out the sport in each and every JPIAn around to let JPIAns exhibit their prowess as athletes and E-sports players.
