Far Eastern University has suspended its Wednesday classes to allow students to give their full support to the Tamaraws who will be competing in the UAAP men’s basketball best-of-three finals.
In a statement posted on the school’s official Facebook account, FEU president Michael M. Alba said that classes in its Manila and Makati campuses are suspended from 12 noon onwards to allow the students and employees to troop to Mall of Asia Arena.
“I call on the FEU community to go all out in support of our team. Our boys have brought pride and glory to the Tamaraw nation; it is now our turn to show them how much they are loved and held in high esteem wherever a Tamaraw heart beats,” Alba also said.
