The event started with a parade of the basketball and volleyball players with their muses. Paranaque city government’s Nicole Grencio was awarded as Best Muse.

Professional basketball players and UAAP Champion Ricci Rivero, DLSU's JC Macalalang, and 4-peat UAAP Champion from National University volleyball player Joshua Retamar also gave their messages of support for the sports tournament and encouragement to the players.
