UMak Jammers Named Grand Champion at Ateneo’s Mandopop Music Festival

QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES – UMak Jammers bagged the Grand Champion and People’s Choice Award during the recent MandoPop Music Festival Season 4 organized by Ricardo Leong Center for Chinese Studies and Anthony Celadon Ateneo De Manila University last March 30, 2023.

One of the pride student organizations of the university under CCA is the UMak Jammers. The UMak Jammers is always seen and heard in most of the events hosted by UMAK. Whether it’s singing the UMAK theme song or performing their own version of different songs across genres, they sure know how to deliver an outstanding performance. Now going beyond the grounds of the university, this very dynamic and versatile student organization has showcased its talents and proved highly deserving of the title of grand champion, in a prestigious national competition like that of the “Ateneo Mandopop Music Festival”.

The talents of the student organizations under the Center for Culture and the Arts are being showcased not just within the university. They are now venturing into joining competitions and not just ordinary competitions but one that has a different cause and at the same time, one that will give them a unique experience because they performed American popular music and translated a few parts of the lyrics to Chinese Mandarin.

In a Facebook post, Makati City Mayor Abby Binay warmly congratulated the UMak Jammers.
