The UP–UST rivalry is a team rivalry between the athletic teams of the University of the Philippines (UP) and the University of Santo Tomas (UST) in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP).
The matchup, in many occasions, is called "Church vs State" or "Battle of the Church and State", because UST is a pontifical university, is run by the Catholic Order of Preachers, and labels itself as "The Catholic University of the Philippines", while UP is run by the Philippine government, is seen as the Philippines' de facto national university, and is the only public university in the UAAP.{{cite web|title=UP vs UST 'Church vs State' match evokes battles of years past|url=https://www.rappler.com/sports/university/uaap/105781-up-ust-church-state|work=Rappler|first=Ignacio|last=Dee|date=September 14, 2015|access-date=May 3, 2020}}{{cite web|title=UST and UP break the internet again thanks to entertaining match|url=https://sports.abs-cbn.com/uaap/news/2015/09/14/ust-up-break-internet-entertaining-match-4840|work=ABS-CBN Sports|date=September 14, 2015|access-date=May 21, 2020}} The rivalry became popular in the UAAP Cheerdance Competition in the late 1990s to 2000s between the UP Pep Squad and the UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe.{{cite web|title=UAAP Cheerdance history: The Rivalry, Sarimanok and the new top dog|url=https://sports.abs-cbn.com/uaap/news/2015/10/02/uaap-cheerdance-rivalries-sarimanok-new-top-dog-5252|work=ABS-CBN Sports|date=October 2, 2015|access-date=May 3, 2020}}{{cite web|title=The culture of cheerdancing|url=https://lifestyle.inquirer.net/16425/the-culture-of-cheerdancing/|last=Navarra|first=Ruth|work=Philippine Daily Inquirer|date=October 1, 2011|access-date=May 30, 2020}} Both schools placed in the competition annually from 1999 to 2008 - the longest joint podium finishes by cheerdance teams in UAAP history.

The UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe won the first three Cheering Competition titles from 1994 to 1996. The UP Filipiniana Dance Group was sent as UP's representative during the early years of the competition. In 2001, the UP Pep Squad matched UST's record of winning three consecutive titles. UST achieved a rare 5-peat championship from 2002 to 2006, while UP placed constantly placed as runners-up. From 2007 to 2012, UP became champions five out of six times.
=Early years=
UST won the first UAAP Cheering Competition on August 13, 1994, the same year that the UP Pep Squad was founded.{{cite web |url=https://www.up.edu.ph/lights-camera-tumble/ |title=Lights! Camera!

Salinggawi won the same competition the following year with a flawless performance and more difficult stunts.{{cite journal|title=Salinggawi muling namayani |last=Dalimot|first=Michael |volume=57 |issue=4 |work=The Varsitarian |date=August 31, 1995}}
In 1996, UST achieved its first 3-peat championship in the third Jollibee "Chi-cheer Kayo" Challenge. UST focused on the creative stunts more than the traditional elements. Salinggawi's routine included its signature Spider Pyramid to score 91.70%. UP finished second with 88.86. UP, together with DLSU, complained about the deductions. Three-point deductions were given to the top three teams, UST, UP, and DLSU, for not performing in the order of performance.{{cite journal|title=Three cheers for UST! |last=Dy|first=Richard |volume=59 |issue=2 |work=The Varsitarian |date=July 30, 1996}}
The UP Pep Squad, under coach Lalaine Pereña, earned its first title in 1999.

Both UP and UST became trendsetters and claimed many firsts in the competition. UP claimed to be the first to adopt an overall theme in the routine. UST is also said to be the first to use canned music and to eliminate the classic pompoms.
In 2002, Salinggawi won and averted the UP Pep Squad from getting their fourth consecutive championship. Ryan Silva, UST's new choreographer, used a medley of movie soundtracks from Bring It On, Blade, and Joy Ride to execute the sky-diving and scorpion-like floor maneuvers. UP asserted their creativity and uniqueness by incorporating tap dance and jump ropes to their routine, which was still devoid of canned music. Salinggawi finished first with 87.38%, while UP Pep Squad obtained 84% for a third-place finish.{{cite journal|title=Back in the groove|last=Almo|first=Alder |volume=74 |issue=6 |work=The Varsitarian |date=October 10, 2002}}

In 2016, the UP Fighting Maroons defeated the UST Growling Tigers after 10 years or 19 games in a Maroon-packed Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan. UP, with a new coach, Bo Perasol, dominated the match and held a game-high 15-point lead at the start of the fourth quarter. Paul Desiderio led the Maroons with 16 points. The Maroons won 5 games in 2016, their most wins since 2006.{{cite web|title=UP beats UST for first time in a decade|url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/11/06/16/up-beats-ust-for-first-time-in-a-decade|last=Naredo|first=Camille|work=ABS-CBN News|date=November 6, 2016|access-date=May 15, 2020}}
In the first round of 2017, UST almost had the victory after Marvin Lee gave the Tigers a 2-point advantage. UP's Paul Desiderio, who previously struggled at the 3-point line, shouted during the final time-out, "Atin 'to, papasok 'to." He hit the game-winning triple with 1.1 seconds remaining and led the Maroons with 17 points. "Atin 'to!" became UP's battle cry for years to come.{{cite web|title=Desiderio hits last-second 3 as UP escapes UST|url=https://sports.inquirer.net/264432/paul-desiderio-hits-triple-up-fighting-maroons-beat-ust-growling-tigers-uaap-season-80|last=Lozada|first=Bong|work=Philippine Daily Inquirer|date=September 10, 2017|access-date=May 14, 2020}}

Friendship
A UP–UST Friendship Facebook page went online after the 2010 UAAP Cheerdance Competition when the UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe rejoined the UP Pep Squad in the podium finish.{{cite web|title='UP–UST friendship' emerges after cheerdance competition|url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/09/16/10/ust-friendship-emerges-after-cheerdance-competition|work=ABS-CBN News|first=Karen|last=Flores|date=September 16, 2010|access-date=May 5, 2020}} The page gained almost 11,000 followers, who are mostly students and alumni of UP and UST, five days after the competition.
In 2011, UST paid tribute to UST High School alumnus and then UP System President Alfredo Pascual by hosting a testimonial dinner at the UST campus. The banquet, arranged at the UST Quadricentennial Park, was attended by a rare collaboration between UST Singers and UP Madrigal Singers. UST, which already owned metal sculptures that consisted of the letters U, S, and T in black and gold, gave UP complementing letter sculptures in maroon and green colors. After nine years, the UST sculpture is installed at the UST Plaza Mayor, while the UP sculpture can still be seen at the UP Sunken Garden.{{cite web|title=Amid ongoing UAAP duel, UST fan page recalled the friendship once forged between UP and UST |url=https://www.interaksyon.com/sports/2019/11/12/157352/ust-fan-page-friendship-up-ust|first=Catalina Ricci|last=Madarang|work=Interaksyon|date=November 12, 2019|access-date=May 5, 2020}}
