Excitement builds up even before they emerge from the dugout, Tapping the Little Indians to perform the “Indian Yell” at NCAA basketball games was, the Idea of the most venerable cheerleader in San Beda history, Ramon Ventosa. fondly known in the campus as Tito Mon or Sefior/Don Ramon, though he preferred everyone call him Mon. Itwould be misleading to think that the Little Indlans going the “Inglan Yelnot to mention his other accomplishments—s his greatest legacy to the Bedan community. More than that, Tito Mon touched many lives on campus. Bly vold Tito Mon's death last November left a big vold In San Beda; up until his passing, he was sitll very active, watching the games, cheering his lungs out forthe Red Lions. During the school's 26-year title drought, he was moderator of the San Beda Cheerleading Aasoclation (SBCA) and did his best In motivating the Bedan community to comprise the biggest crowd In the NCAA. Buthe also showed that to love one's school went beyond winning basketball trophies. “The Don ef San Beda cheerleading was & man of loyalty and service,” sald one cheerleader, Dennis Dy, Ina writtan post after Mon’s death. Dy recalled that Tito Mon’s contributions to ‘SECA were very much appreciated in the early 1990s—a time when the varsity basketball team was not doing well, the cheerleaders lacked Inspiration, and the ‘support of the Bedan community was wanting.“Iwas thers when he first came to halp,” said Dy, “Ha would eventually appoint me as chief cheerleader. in Ais first year with us, he was able fo secure full sponsorship for our Jackets and shirts.” Dy added that, although he hated the jacket duo to its retro design—‘it looked like it was from the 70s"—he loved the cheerleading team's new mentor. Dingdong's Initiation In the late ‘0s, Dingdong Dantes, then a freeh high echool graduate from Ateneo de Manila, traneferred to San Beda for college. Much to ‘everyone's surprise, he jolned the SBCA. Tito Mon had imposed initiation rite fir new San Beda cheerlsaders—thay had to sland in the middle of Mendiola Street, facing Centra Escolar University, and thon perform a Bledan cheer as loud as possible, or approach random gir on the street and give her flowers. Dingdong was not apared from this; when his tum came, 2 huge crowd tumed out. It looked IIke there was a concert on Mendiola that day. Though it saddens us that there will be an—other vacant seat at the San Beda galery in the coming ‘92nd NCAA season, the Bedan community knows that Tito Mon will ba watching from above, along with Mang Roger and other Bedan dlehards who have gone to heaven. Rest assured we will treasure our memories of Tito Mon and preserve his legacy—not Just In cheerleading but also In Ilving Ife like @ true Bodan, carving school, county andCities ULM LL or nos tare tears (ase Redemption 2.0 Saldana cnn one | HN Rat yearold league. back to glory : * By Judo Roque Its now upto this batch of Lions, mora than half of ‘who ere incoming rookies in the NCAA, to radaam the school after lasing the crown to the Letran Knights last season. Butlt’s not the first time this happened. In 2008, the Red Lions also lost grip of the NCAA title after holding it for three years, from 2006 to 2008. But San Sebastian averted the four-peat attempt of the Bedans that year. The next year however, redemption was achieved in sterling fashion as the Red and White squad bounced back strong and dlaimed the champlonship via an Incredible 16-0 seraep ofits games, = ‘This 2016 season, the current Liane, undersecond- || yeercoach Jamike,Jerin, emtorepeat thefeat rom | 2010 and avenge their dafeatin Season 91. | But itwill be easier said than done.
