“Ano pa ba masasabi ko to inspire everybody pero kami po ang in-iinspire niyo with your presence. Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat,” LVPI president Joey Romasanta opened. “Nais po naming ipahatid na Philippine Volleyball is now enjoying the credibility given by the AVC and the FIVB. Maraming maraming salamat po sa inyo!”
The ceremony opened with a jaw-dropping performance by the reigning NCAA cheerleading champions the Altas Perps Squad that pumped up the audience.
