The Jose Rizal University got its monicker from the abundance of World War II vintage bombs in their campus. The JRU campus, like many others, was turned into a garrison by the Japanese army. This led to many vintage bombs mined beneath the campus, which led to the heavy bombers monicker. The Seniors (collegiate) team adopted the Heavy Bomber, while the Juniors (high school) team adopted the Light Bomber.
