Galang, Cignal TV's President and CEO.
"To launch a channel when there are no games yet is testament to the strength of the league made possible by the blood, sweat and tears of each and every student athlete. We thank them for giving us enough memories worth reliving. This is for the UAAP community as we continue to navigate this pandemic. We also thank our partners at Cignal for undertaking this project that allows us to take a trip down memory lane in the safety of our homes." said UAAP Executive Director Atty. Rebo Saguisag.
