Opening ceremonies
Season host Ateneo de Manila University presented an Olympic-style opening ceremony which was the first time it took place in an open field on July 9, 2011 at the Marikina Sports Park. The highlights of the opening ceremony were the presentation of the UAAP board of directors, parade of athletes, torch relay, cauldron lighting and free concert. It also featured a group of Ateneo graduates singing the UAAP theme song. The Ateneo Blue Babble Battalion and Spongecola's Yael Yuzon provided entertainment during the ceremonies.
The torch relay took place prior to the start of the events in the Marikina Sports Park. The relay started from the De La Salle University campus in Taft Avenue, Malate, Manila and passed thru the campuses of the other seven member schools of the UAAP. Athletes representing their school received and transferred the torch to the next school by means of running. Ateneo was the last school to receive the torch. Thus it had the honor of bringing the torch to its final destination which was the Marikina Sports Park. Former Ateneo basketball player Olsen Racela was the torch lighter which role he did when he lighted the cauldron with the torch after being lifted by a hydraulic conveyor.
The opening ceremony proceeded as scheduled despite continuous rains. Contingency plans were made so that the ceremony will not be called off due to inclement weather. The parade of athletes proceeded with the athletes carrying colored umbrellas corresponding to their school colors. The following schools make up the UAAP: Ateneo de Manila University, Adamson University, De La Salle University, Far Eastern University, National University, University of Santo Tomas, University of the East, and University of the Philippines.
University of Santo Tomas had the largest delegation with 627 athletes. It was followed by Ateneo de Manila (600), University of the East (512), University of the Philippines (425), De La Salle University (417), Adamson University (300), Far Eastern University (300) and National University (260).
