00:00:00Coming at you, live and loud, all the way from Smart Araneta Coliseum.
00:00:15This is the NCAA Season 101.
00:00:21Make some noise, everybody.
00:00:23We're all very happy that all of you are here and we experienced 100 years of the NCAA just last year.
00:00:37I hope you guys don't mind if we turn it up a notch for this year where we celebrate Season 101.
00:00:45Now, NCAA Nation, I have one question for everybody.
00:00:51Are you ready?
00:00:58You sound beautiful.
00:01:00Let's get this show on the road.
00:01:02Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for me to introduce your hosts for tonight.
00:01:07Give it up for Martin Javier, Ashley Ortega, and Anjo Bertiera.
00:01:15Good afternoon and welcome to a historic day in Philippine collegiate sports.
00:01:37Today, we witness the opening of NCAA's 100 first season.
00:01:42And that's a milestone that speaks to its enduring legacy of excellence in Philippine education and athletics.
00:01:51The NCAA established during 1924 stands as the Philippines' first and premier college athletic association.
00:02:01Today's ceremony hosted by Mapua University represents not just the beginning of the new season, but the dawn of what organizers call the neo-centennial era.
00:02:16Having competed in this very Anita, I can tell you that what we're about to witness goes beyond ceremony.
00:02:25It is a celebration of character formation, academic excellence, and the Filipino spirit of resilience and determination.
00:02:33All right, but before we embark on this journey of competition and camaraderie, let us ground ourselves in gratitude and humility.
00:02:43Today, we honor not just our athletic prowess, but the divine grace that guides us in our every step.
00:02:50Please welcome Ms. Azel Santos as she leads us in prayer together with the Mapua Cardinal Singers.
