There were 72 teams participating in all. We had three teams in the top 15. So did UP (2, 4, and 12). All other teams in the top 15 were foreign. In the top 20 teams, UPD and ADMU had 4 teams each. Ateneo de Zamboanga placed #19. The other teams were foreign. In case anyone is wondering, DLSU's top team placed #23.
Based on my knowledge of the history of our ACM ICPC participation, this is our best showing since 2009. UP started overtaking us in 2008 and we've haven't gotten back on top since. We really should start thinking about how to change this situation.
However, before the afterglow fades, there are people whom I need to thank:
