The two universities have developed an intense rivalry over the past few decades in different competitions. Most famous of which, is their battle inside the basketball court. A rivalry that began during their early years in the NCAA and was carried over to the UAAP.

Now, the fierce rivalry between Ateneo de Manila University and De la Salle University has spilled over into A(H1N1) arena. Sort of.

According to the data from the World Health Organization (WHO), swine flu has spread to 66 countries with 19,273 people known to have been infected since the disease was first uncovered in Mexico in April.

Spread it is.

Last week, CHED moved school opening to June 15 when a foreign student of La Salle was confirmed positive of A(H1N1). A few days later, a second foreign student from La Salle was tested positive for A(H1N1). And on June 10, Ateneo de Manila University suspended its class for ten (10) days when three high school students tested positive for swine flu.

If you’re counting, Ateneo leads La Salle three to two.

(The students responded well to treatments and is reportedly feeling better. I hope this swine flue flies out of our country already.)
