The All-Star Game on February 16 at the Home of the Altas Gymnasium II in Las Pinas will be the centerpiece of the celebration, with Thompson leading the Team Stars against the Rising Stars squad, headlined by vlogger Kyt Jimenez of the Davao Occidental Tigers.

Along with Thompson, the roster of Team Stars includes players like Ronald Sy, Milo Bonifacio, Harold Arboleda, Chester Saldua, Chester Tolomia, and Jon Yuhico, among others.

The Rising Stars lineup features John Cedrick Abis, Jerry Andaleon, Joey Barcuma, Alwin Manalang, Eric Ramirez, and Joshua Rodriguez, among others.

The university community is expected to come together to celebrate its rich history and achievements, and to honor those who have contributed to its success.
