The Perpetual Altas and Lady Altas, or the UPHSD Altas and Lady Altas, are the National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) teams of the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA. They are also popularly known as the Perps.
Since joining the NCAA in 1984, the university's senior varsity basketball team only made the NCAA Finals twice. In spite of the poor financial support, their biggest run was in the late 1980s, led by the "big three" Bong Hawkins, Eric Quiday, and Ronald Sy, against the SSCR Stags' "big three", Paul Alvarez, Eugene Quilban, and Nap Hatton. They are the only NCAA basketball team that joined in the 20th century that's still in the NCAA to have never won a men's basketball championship.
The Altas have been successful in other sports, winning titles in volleyball and in the NCAA Cheerleading Competition.
The university's juniors' team are called the UPHSD Junior Altas (formerly the "Altalettes").
Name
[edit]The moniker 'Altas' comes from the Latin word "height," symbolizing UPHSD's aspirations for further greatness. At the same time, it comes from the initials of the school founder, Antonio L. Tamayo.
