FORMER President Fidel Ramos took the time off from his busy schedule to grace the opening of the 75th University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) on Saturday at the state-of-the-art Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.<\/p>\n

Ramos, the guest of honor of host National University (NU), also delighted the crowd with his signature jump he made 26 years ago during the Edsa People Power Revolution, which toppled the dictatorial rule of then President Ferdinand Marcos.<\/p>\n

Wearing a blue and yellow polo shirt, the former President did the famous jump when his presence was acknowledged by NU president Nilo Ocampo to the delight of thousands of paying fans, students and alumni.<\/p>\n

Ramos took up civil engineering at NU in 1946 but he failed to finish the degree when he went to the United States as a scholar at world-renowned West Point military academy.<\/p>\n

Lasting for nearly an hour, this year\u2019s opening rites was peppered with indoor fireworks display and hip-hop performances from eight member-schools.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1938, the country\u2019s premier collegiate league groups Adamson University, Ateneo De Manila University, De La Salle University, Far Eastern University, NU, University of the East, University of the Philippines and University of Santo Tomas.

Navy tries to get picture of stuck Chinese gunship
\nMANILA (Updated 1:45 p.m.) – The Naval forces is yet to have a visual confirmation of the Chinese ship that ran aground at a shoal at the disputed Spratly Islands in the West Philippine Sea near Palawan province, a top official said Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Sydney Morning Herald earlier said the Chinese ship, a Jianghu-class frigate no. 560, ran aground at the unoccupied Half Moon Shoal or Hasa-hasa shoal on Thursday night. It said the ship remains “thoroughly stuck.”<\/p>\n

Commodore Rustom Pe\u00f1a, commander of the Naval Forces West, said they sent a team to Halfmoon Shoal on Saturday to augment the Coast Guard that has dispatched a team to the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of now we are preparing our assets. We still don\u2019t have a visual confirmation. As of now, I cannot give statements; I have yet to confirm (the incident). There is still no visual,\u201d Pe\u00f1a said.<\/p>\n

Pe\u00f1a said the undisclosed Navy assets may arrive at the shoal, about 60 nautical miles from Rizal town in Palawan, Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

He said he only learned from the media that China had already confirmed that one of its frigates was stuck at the shoal.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as we are concerned, the Coast Guard sent (assets there), they\u2019re on the way there and our (Navy) assets are ready. If they (China) are in distress there, we will try to provide assistance. That is our task there,\u201d said Pe\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

A military source earlier said the stuck Chinese ship had been frequently monitored to be moving around the Chinese-occupied Mischief and Subi reefs and at the unoccupied Quirino Atoll. He surmised that the ship\u2019s area of responsibility is the Spratly Islands.<\/p>\n

Hasahasa shoal is part of the Spratlys, a chain of islands and islets believed to be rich in oil and mineral deposits, that is being claimed by the Philippines, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Vietnam and Brunei.
