The team from the University of the Philippines College of Law beat nine other teams from universities across Asia to bag the title of 2007 Asia Cup International Law Moot Court Competition champion. The competition was held in Japan.

The Philippine team was composed of Anna Lorem Ramos, Janice Lee, Maricel Seno and Anya Palileo. It is the third time that the UP team won the competition which is sponsored annually by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. The UP team bested the teams from Ateneo and FEU to earn the privilege of officially representing the country in Japan.

The competition is a regional moot court that tests the student's skills in both written and oral pleadings. "The team’s victory indicate the students’ strong interest in international law not just for purely academic reasons but for its practical applications as well. The conflict in Mindanao, for example, is a perfect source of application for the law on armed conflict", said Director of the UP Institute of International Legal Studies, Harry Roque. The contestants were tested on their mastery of public international law, humanitarian law, human rights and refugee law. The contestants acts as legal counsels defending before a simulated International Court of Justice.

The judges in the Asia Cup were Dr. Jean-Marie Henckaerts of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Ambassador Chusei Yamada of the United Nations International Law Commission, Ambassador Tetsuyo Endo of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Dr. Umesh Kadam of the ICRC.
