Rebo Saguisag told ABS-CBN News in a separate interview. &quot;Based on the opinion [of the subhosts], ang ganda raw ng facilities dito sa Clark complex. So it&#x27;s a milestone, I believe.&quot;Saguisag is hopeful that hosting the swimming and athletics events in the high-profile venue will bring more eyes to these sports.&quot;If you watch the Olympics, athletics and swimming are the highlights, sila ang bida talaga. So maybe, it&#x27;s time for the UAAP to really put more focus on these two events or tournaments,&quot; he said.Ahead of this weekend&#x27;s athletics and swimming competitions, the UAAP signed on Friday a partnership with health and wellness app mWell, which allows the league&#x27;s student-athletes to flaunt their school colors through unique wearables while also tracking their health status. &quot;The UAAP is one with mWell in promoting wellness and leading healthier lives in order to become a more formidable community committed to greatness,&quot; said Saguisag during the contract signing in Pasig City.
