History
Principles
BATAK members brand themselves as Iskolar-Atleta (scholar athletes) and its orientation is centered in these following principles:
- Inclusive Activism (Bukluran)
We seek to balance free discourse on one hand, and decisive action on another, such that principles and positions are open to deliberation and reflection, and the practice of decisive action will not be constrained. We are activists because we espouse a proactive stance on relevant issues and concerns, but we are also inclusive because we seek not to include only our fellow proponents, but to appeal to the society at large, to rally others to our call.
- Academic Excellence with Social Relevance (Iskolar-Atleta)
Recognizing that more than just being student-athletes, we are Iskolar ng Bayan given the opportunity to study in the nation's premier University. We excel not only in our respective sports, but show competence in academics and socio-political involvement.
- Responsive Leadership Towards Student Empowerment (Progresibong Aksyon)
Inspired by the principle of Progressive Overload for physical conditioning, we pursue long-term actions on issues. We intensify our efforts for the improvement of the College of Human Kinetics and the achievement of our goal to be the country's forefront in Sports Science and Physical Education.
