Upon the founding of sUbAy, representatives of the regional and national competitions such as the State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (SCUAA) will carry the name, UA Pulahan, and the UA community will live up to the UA Red Ants’ Code of Conduct.

BE A DREAMER, DREAM BIG! Like ants- little maybe who carry loads heavier than them and build colonies bigger than we imagine, the UA RED ANTS strive to excel, pursue big dreams and work to achieve them like a champion. Our life as students is not easy, some want to ace every test they take and finish with flying colors. But some just want to complete their education no matter what it takes and no matter how muddy their feet will get before going to school. Being a starry-eyed dreamer is about not giving up no matter how tight the entry is. UA’eans dream big and dream more. There is nothing wrong with dreaming as long as you are doing your job to achieve it. They say, if your dreams don’t scare you then you are not dreaming big.

As such, they act at all times in the interest of the province and the country. Antiqueños are like ants. The bayanihan spirit are still practiced even up to this day in some remote areas. Bayanihan is one of the values of ants reflected in the culture of Antiqueños. UA RED ANTS are living some of the values that best describe their personality. Aside from being hardworking, red ants are also flexible – in a sense that no matter how hard the situation or tasks that has been overlapped on their shoulders, they still have time to manage it and gave a soothing smile as well. Red Ants are also adaptable, gregarious and feisty. As UA RED ANTS conquer the realm of its cultural heritage, they act as like what their forefathers done way back in ancient times.
