The De La Salle Green Archers (also The Green Archers) are the men's varsity teams representing De La Salle University. The women's varsity teams are referred to as the DLSU Lady Booters/De La Salle Lady Archers and/or the De La Salle Lady Spikers. The school's varsity teams participate in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines, among others. La Salle is represented in the high school level by De La Salle Zobel, and are known as the Junior Archers.

Athletic History

The pre-war NCAA was established by a very sports minded Christian Brother named Brother John FSC. The De La Salle Green Archers was a founding member of the NCAA in 1924. De La Salle participated in the league for 57 years until the 1980-81 NCAA Season winning five NCAA General Championships in the process (1972, 1974, 1976, 1977, and 1980). The high school (Juniors' division) counterpart were the Greenies from De La Salle College High School until 1968 when the then High School in Taft Avenue, Manila was phased-out and transferred to the then new GREEN HILLS Campus in Mandaluyong City. The Greenies had won two General Championships. La Salle Green Hills (LSGH) was established in 1959 and was eventually made the high school counterpart of De La Salle University. It inherited the moniker Greenies and eventually became known as the Junior Archers. LSGH won eight General Championships until 1980 when La Salle withdrew from the NCAA.

From 1981 through 1985 the school participated in the PICUAA, invitational meets, interclub tournaments, and National Open.

De La Salle University (DLSU) then joined the UAAP in 1986.[1] La Salle chose the newly established De La Salle Santiago Zobel School (DLSZ) as their UAAP Juniors counterpart. LSGH was later asked by De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde to compete as their Juniors team in the NCAA when it applied and was accepted in 1998.

Since joining the UAAP in 1986, DLSU won three UAAP Overall Championships, in Season 75 (2012–13), Season 76 (2013–14) and in Season 78 (2015–16), giving the university a combined eight overall titles in both the UAAP and NCAA. A couple of years ago the DLSZ Junior Archers on the other hand has captured a Juniors UAAP basketball championship.

Team Identity

Battle Colors

The battle school colors of De La Salle University are Green and White. The color Green gives tribute to the first batch of De La Salle Brothers from Ireland while the color White represents the Philippines as being the "Pearl of the Orient Seas". This color combination is the traditional institutional colors of all 17 De La Salle schools in the Philippines.

The Green Archer is the official athletic symbol of the university that was inspired by Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, Patron Saint of Teachers who like the fabled valiant hero from the royal Sherwood forest in Nottinghamshire, England. - Robin Hood, a brave and gallant Green Archer who went against the abusive whims of tyrannical king. Saint La Salle and the fabled Green Archer from Sherwood Forest both selflessly served, defended, protected and provided for the last and the least among the poorest of the poor in Europe.

School Mascot

Decades ago, Br. Rafael Donato FSC said that Lasallites being Green Archers are Achievers who always Aim High, Straight and True. Br. Andrew Gonzalez FSC also emphasized that La Salle as a learning institution gives importance to achievement. De La Salle Brother J. Benedict FSC mentioned that "De La Salle, produces good men and not incompetent saints." During the pre-war years Br. John FSC would often remind his Green Archers "To always play fair, to always battle with honor and fight for the glory and fame of the De La Salle Name." De La Salle Brothers Br. Stephen Malachy FSC and Br. Bonaventure Richard FSC in the 1960's came up with the classic battle cry of "Never Shall We Fail!" in their DLS Alma Mater Song that forever reminds generations upon generations of Lasallites/Lasallians that failure is never an option. Several decades ago in the NCAA, Br. Gabriel FSC reminded the DLSC Green Archers to always play their hardest for the name infront of their varsity jerseys. Our pre-war De La Salle Brothers would constantly remind all their La Salle boys about their love, loyalty, duty to GOD, Country and La Salle.

The Green Archer was inspired by the European Longbow man who during peacetime was a forest hunter and at wartime was recruited by the king's army to fight for and defend the kingdom. The De La Salle Archer is a forest green clad warrior-hunter who's a focused, determined and a goal-oriented achiever who never backs down from tough challenges. An Archer will confidently confront and zero in on a chosen target. The warrior-hunter then takes a strategic position as he defiantly kneels to stand his ground and never seeks to "fly away" from a furious fray. The emerald archer lives by his Lasallian fighting words of "We'll Fight to keep your Glory Bright and Never Shall We Fail", as he kneels down and pulls his mighty bow and sharp arrow backward. The Green Archer does his iconic battle stance to aggressively engage his foe. The Green hunter carefully aims his sharp arrow as he silently shoots down his adversary for a very quick and stealthy kill.

This was accordingly adopted several decades ago by an NCAA sportswriter due to the sharp shooting and the tenacity of the Green and White Five as they captured De La Salle's first 1939 NCAA Senior pre-war basketball championship crown. In the NCAA juniors division, De La Salle won the First ever NCAA juniors basketball title in it's 1924–25 inaugural season.

The official DLSAA mascots are "Gordo", the jolly and round archer, "Flaco", the wise and elderly archer and "Sally", the young and lethal lady archer. De La Salle, has always had a DLS School Pep Band that pumps up the Lasallian School Spirit and beefs up the morale of the Green Archers and its legions of fans by proudly playing all of its traditional fight songs, tunes and battle drum beats in it's several-decades-long athletic history from the pre-war NCAA til the present UAAP varsity hostilities.

Traditional Battle Cry - "ANIMO!"

The ANIMO! signifies a Lasallian's "Spirit to Fight".[2] This battle cry was inspired by the 350 year old Lasallian's Spirit of "Faith and Zeal" of the De La Salle Christian Brothers.[3] This traditional battle cry is also being used in several other countries with Lasallian schools.

The Lasallian spirit of "Faith" is symbolized by the radiant "Signum Fidei" (Latin for "Sign of the Faith" – the 350 year old battle cry of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools) Christmas Nativity Star from Bethlehem (the original beaming rays of the Signum Fidei Star has been replaced with the Gloria et Honos laurel).[citation needed]

The Lasallian spirit of "Zeal" is symbolized by three broken chevrons representing the three broken leg bones suffered by Johan Salla, a warrior chieftain from Urgel, Spain and the patriarch of the Salla (later renamed De La Salle after moving to France) family, as he valiantly battled to expel the marauding Moors from Europe. The three broken chevron symbols are also represented in the De La Salle family crest.

The Indivisa Manent or "Permanently Indivisible", is a 1,000 year old ancient battle cry of the De La Salle family popularly known today as "One La Salle". It is the uniting Lasallian spirit of community, where teamwork, fraternal brotherhood, and a deep sense of oneness is intimately shared as an indivisible Lasallian family. Lasallians, stand united in all things they do together as a close knit community of brothers and sisters working as one clan in service for the greater honor and glory of God, Saint La Salle, country and school.

De La Salle has several decades old traditional pre-war fight songs, battle cheers, tribal yells and hakas are the traditional – "De La Salle Song", "Go La Salle Song", "Go! Go! La Salle", "Oh When La Salle Goes Marching In", "Victory Song", "Archer Battle Song", "Men of La Salle Song", "Rektikano Rah!", "Zama Zipa Zam", "Who's to Win this Game", "Bumakaya", "Yamakadep", "Strawberry Shortcake", "La Salle Spelling", "Derecho La Salle", "D-LS-U Animo La Salle", "Animo Yell" and several pre-war songs, yells and cheers to be revived by the DLSU Animo Squad.

De La Salle's traditional signature cheers, yells and songs are more than just catchy tunes to boost and rally the Green-and-White in all their competitive endeavors. All of these cheers, yells and songs have a long history that spans over nine decades and have been passed down from one proud generation to another. With that in mind, it is important to pay tribute to these pieces of Lasallian history and tradition that have embodied the Animo in every Lasallian. The resurgence of our DLSU Green Archers has given the Lasalllian community much more to proudly cheer, yell and sing about, but cheering means nothing if it is not done right with a lot of heart and spirit. La Salle, has a collection of several pre-war Lasallian signature fight cheers, tribal yells and battle songs that have raised the fighting spirit and hearts of thousands of loyal Lasallians time and time again.

The LaS/LSC Yell Command Squad established in 1926 and the present DLSU Animo Squad has been continuously cheerleading with our Spirit of Faith and Zeal from its pre-war NCAA days up to the present UAAP battles for 92 years.

Sports

Basketball

La Salle has a total of 27 basketball championship titles in both NCAA and UAAP combined. Under its membership stint in the NCAA, La Salle won 11 championship titles – 5 under the Men's division, and 6 under the Junior's division. In the UAAP, the school has 16 championship titles – 9 in the Men's division, 5 in the Women's division, and 2 in the Junior's division.

Men's Basketball

The school has won 5 NCAA basketball titles (1939, 1947, 1956, 1971, and 1974). Its basketball teams won the coveted National Seniors Open Championship, a league participated by top commercial and college teams, twice in 1939 and 1949.[2][3] After bolting out of the NCAA in 1980, it participated in various tournaments. The Green Archers won the 1983 PABL Championship and 1983 National Open title. La Salle has 3 inter-collegiate titles. The school won the 1988 Philippine Intercollegiate Championship. This was later reformatted to become the Collegiate Champions League, which then became the current Philippine Collegiate Championship League with La Salle winning the championship in 2008 and 2013. La Salle has also won 9 UAAP basketball titles (1989, 1990, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2007, 2013 and 2016). It has appeared in the finals 15 times since joining the league. La Salle is also known for its 4-peat UAAP championship from 1998–2001.

La Salle's basketball program has produced its crop of national players and coaches. Among its revered players include Enrique "Totit" Valles, Leo Prieto, Bob Keesey, Ramoncito Campos, Valentin "Tito" Eduque, Eddie Decena, Manolet Araneta, Martin Urra, Kurt Bachmann, Billy Manotoc, Lim Eng Beng, Ricardo Brown, Franz Pumaren, Dindo Pumaren, Jun Limpot, Mark Telan, Don Allado, Ren-Ren Ritualo, Mike Cortez, Mark Cardona, JV Casio and Ben Mbala.. Its great coaches have included Chito Calvo, Leo Prieto, Rogelio Lao, Tito Eduque, Ron Jacobs, Derrick Pumaren, Jong Uichico, Juno Sauler, and Franz Pumaren, who holds the distinction of leading the Green Archers to five UAAP basketball titles.

One of its most memorable UAAP championships in recent years is the 2016 UAAP 79 title. Under head coach Aldin Ayo La Salle defeated Ateneo in Game One 67–65 and completed the sweep in Game Two 79–72 during the best of three series. Team Captain Jeron Teng was named Finals MVP while Ben Mbala won the regular season MVP. Both Mbala and Teng were included in the season's Mythical Five. Rookie of the Year was awarded to Aljun Melecio, high school standout from De La Salle Zobel. Aldin Ayo became the first coach to win back to back championships in the NCAA and UAAP in Philippine collegiate basketball.

La Salle last won the Philippine Collegiate Championship League (PCCL) in 2013. The tournament has the same format as the US NCAA Division 1 Men's basketball tournament. College teams from all over the country participate in this officially sanctioned tournament by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP).

La Salle would have won the UAAP basketball title in 1991 after winning a controversial championship game against FEU.[4] A La Salle player (Antonio "Tony Boy" Espinosa) with 5 fouls was mistakenly allowed by the officials table to play for less than 10 seconds. La Salle also had the twice to beat advantage in the championship series and would have been the outright champion. However, FEU protested the outcome of the game. The UAAP Board then ordered an entire rematch. La Salle took the stand that it was the responsibility of the officiating table. La Salle did not appear on the replay date. FEU by default was declared winner of that game. The protest was taken up by the FIBA, the highest international governing body in basketball. FIBA and the BAP supported La Salle's stand on the issue.

The school also won the UAAP basketball championship finals in 2004. However, this was lost due to an ineligibility scandal. On October 10, 2005, the University officially revealed to the newspapers in an official De La Salle press release that a then current La Salle player (later identified as second-string back-up center-Mark Benitez) was discovered by the university to be ineligible to continue to study in the university and therefore play for it in the UAAP. The player was discovered by the university to have submitted, as part of La Salle's requirements for admission as a college freshman school year 2003–2004, a falsified Department of Education Philippine Educational Placement Test Certificate of Rating (PEPTCR, a government-issued replacement for a regular high school diploma). A statement by the university outlined a chronology of events, showing that it received a letter from DepEd confirming that Benitez's PEPTCR was fake in August 2005. Benitez, however, continued to play until the UAAP Finals due to administrative delays.[5] In November 2005 after concluding the university's official internal investigation and then submitting its official report to the UAAP Board, the University returned its 2004 UAAP Senior Basketball championship and 2005 runner-up trophies. On October 18, 2005, a meeting was held between the player's camp and the La Salle administrators. Benitez' father denied reports that his son failed the PEPTCR. La Salle also admitted, after DepEd submitted its findings to La Salle, that a second Green Archer, second-string guard Tim Gatchalian, who was no longer even a member of the Green Archers during the 2005–2006 UAAP season but played in the previous 2003–2004 and 2004–2005 seasons, also used spurious documents to enter college, and hence, also rendering himself ineligible to continue to study in the university and play in the UAAP. La Salle later both expelled Benitez and Gatchalian and cancelled all their previously earned college credits after due official investigation. In a letter addressed to the UAAP, De La Salle informed the league of their intent to take a leave from men's basketball.[6] The UAAP rejected this move by La Salle, saying that because basketball is a required event for members' continuing participation, La Salle had to have a leave of absence on all sports and not just Men's Basketball. In a meeting held at Adamson University on April 21, 2006, the UAAP Board unanimously voted to suspend De La Salle from all UAAP events (in the senior, junior and women's divisions) for the succeeding 2006–2007 (69th) season due to negligence. The UAAP board also decided to award the 2004 Seniors Basketball crown to the Far Eastern University Tamaraws.

La Salle also had the longest active streak of reaching the Final Four (semi-finals) of the UAAP basketball tournament ever since the format was introduced, appearing 15 straight times. The streak was broken in 2009, when the Green Archers failed to make the Final Four for the first time ever.

Under its membership stint in the NCAA, La Salle won 51 championship titles – 21 under the Men's division, and 30 under the Junior's division. In the UAAP, the school has 16 championship titles – 3 in the Men's division, 10 in the Women's division, and 3 in the Junior's division.

Men's football

Since Pre-War Days, the school has an unprecedented record in the world's most popular sport. Football was also reported to be the most popular sport in the Philippines in the 1920s and 1930s and shortly after World War II. De La Salle has the most number of Football championships in Philippine NCAA history with a total of 21 collegiate championships.[8] The high school team has 30 championship trophies. The school's golden era of football was from 1932 through 1940 when La Salle was the Senior division NCAA 9-peat champion, considered by some to be a highly unbreakable record. The golden era featured Virgilio Lobregat, Rafael Ygoa, Totit Valles, Peping Campos, Ling Miranda, Mimi Heredia, Nono Crespo, Adi Manzano, Gorda de Larrazabal, Leo Prieto, Quinito Ortigas, Petuguis Herrera, Paulino Ugarte, Charlie Russel, Jiki Garcia, Jave Javellana, Bulilit Reyes, Richard Tillman, and Kastila Ynunciaga. La Salle was also the Senior division 6-peat champion from 1971 through 1977. The De La Salle NCAA Senior Champion Team during this 1971 to 1977 period had the likes of then concurrent Philippine Team National Players namely Inaki Vicente, Mike Moran, Danny Moran, Robs Delfino and Inaki Alvarez. The Juniors team was 5-peat champion twice from 1937 through 1941 and 1971 through 1976. The school was a 4-peat NCAA double champions in both Junior and Senior divisions from 1937 through 1940. La Salle was also 5-peat NCAA double champions in both Junior and Senior divisions from 1971 through 1976. DLSU left the NCAA after the 1980-81 Season and eventually transferred to the UAAP.

The Men's team has won 3 UAAP titles. The Women's team has won 5 UAAP titles as 5-peat champions from 2001 through 2005. The DLSU men's football team captured its first ever solo UAAP championship via a rare sweep in 1994–95. The team was bannered by national team mainstay and league MVP Tuteng Marasigan, Jay Pascual, Tats Ramos, Panky Abijay, Carlo Blanco, Teo Ocampo, JM Pons, Javi Manticon, Dennis Villanueva, rookie standouts Christian Lozano, and Albe Aparilla, and coached by Hans Smit.

As it was in the 1990–91 season, DLSU was declared joint UAAP champions with UST after a fight broke loose during the final minutes of the game with DLSU leading 2–1, both goals scored by Cocoy Rojas. This team was bannered by veterans Gerard Araw, Mon Sandejas, Sammy Mubarak, Marbon Gonzales, Gurpreet Samrow, Paolo Relucio, Carlo Manalo, Tuteng Marasigan together with the most talented rookie class headed by Tats Ramos, Cocoy Rojas, Javi Legarda, and Rufino Gutierrez.

In the 1993–1994 season, La Salle lost to UST 4–0 in the championship game but with most of the awards were garnered by the Green Archer led by their rookie sensation, Panky Abijay who was voted as the Best Scorer for that season. Scoring 17 goals in 10 games followed by Tats Ramos as the Best Goalie and Tuteng Marasigan as the Best Midfielder.

In 1995–96 UAAP season, the team however failed to defend its championship losing to arch-rival Ateneo de Manila University in a heartbreaking loss in the finals. Ateneo entered the finals with a twice to beat advantage by topping the eliminations round. La Salle took game 1 of the finals series 2–1 to arrange the final showdown, but lost 2–1 to the Vince Santos powered Ateneo team.

The following year, Coach Hans revamped the DLSU lineup and enhanced the team with several rookies and sophomores. The team included rookies William Paradies, Torto Canga, Jon Chua, Joey Mapa, Dave Javellana, Jun Sola, Peter Amores and Dodee Molina to complement holdovers Alvin Ocampo, Christian Lozano, Norman Azarcon, JM Pons, Owens Sun, Albe Aparilla, Byron Rempillo, Theo Zaragoza and LJ Villanueva. The team topped the eliminations round and this time had the twice to beat advantage in the re-match with Ateneo in the Finals. DLSU however did not allow the finals to reach a 2nd game and re-captured the 1996–97 crown via a 2–1 victory, courtesy of goals by midfielders Norman Azarcon and Albe Aparilla.

With a near intact line-up and key additions like the comebacking Francis Feliciano and Dennis Villanueva to anchor the defense and rookie goal keeper Ted Guinto DLSU successfully defending its crown in 1997–98 and captured back-to-back championships. This year DLSU again took the twice to beat advantage leading into the finals series, however Ateneo took game 1 via a 2–1 victory. DLSU however regrouped in time for the deciding match. Ateneo took the lead early via a header from Ramon Espejo in the first half and kept the 1–0 lead at halftime. The second half was a completely different story, with DLSU unleashing its true scoring form, taking 5 straight goals in the second half to take the title once again via a 5–1 hammering of its archrival. Alvin Ocampo and Christian Lozano took co-MVP honors.
