Ateneo Uses Twitter Bird Mascot at UAAP Cheerdance Competition?! Hot on Twitter : The Real Score

This post is for all TP friends who've been emailing, texting and DM'ing us on the real score behind these tweets:


Seriously, can't you guys take a joke?!


Now, it may look way too cuddly in its inflated form -- but really, that's the legendary Blue Eagle of Ateneo de Manila University. The mascot's undeniable semblance to the Twitter Bird, I believe, is plain incidental. Why the h#$L should the top university in the Philippines apologize to Twitter? Ateneo has been using the yellow-beaked blue eagle as school symbol since 1939.

Anyway -- Congratulations, UP! That was a well-deserved win.
