The "Golden Lions" which is established through a proposal by the Reverend Francis Neil G. Jalando-on, Coach of the College Table Tennis Teams and Associate Pastor of the University Church, is based on the following Bible verses in contrast as the university was founded by the American Baptist missionaries: (Proverbs 28:1) ""The godly are as bold as lions"", (Proverbs 30:30) ""The lion, mighty among beasts, does not retreat from anyone"", (2 Samuel) 17:10 ""The bravest are those whose heart is like the heart of a lion"", (Revelation 5:5) ""The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed"" — JESUS is the Lion of Judah.
