The 12 participating teams paraded in their colorful uniforms from the main entrance of Claret School to the Gym. During the program, an interpretative dance for the doxology was rendered by the seminarians of St. Anthony Mary Claret College. This was followed by the Welcome Remarks by Fr. Eduardo Apungan, Jr., CMF, Director of Claret School of Quezon City. To inspire all the athletes, Fr. Victor Sadaya, CMF, Prefect of Spirituality and the initiator of this Unity Cup, delivered a very inspiring message. He emphasized the importance of having an event, where all staff and personnel of the different
Claretian institutions in Metro Manila could come together – to share and be acquainted with one another. Then all the team captains were invited on stage for the Claret Oath of Sportsmanship led by Sch. Joseph Villarin, CMF. To light the 3rd Unity Cup torch, the muses of the 12 participating teams relayed the torch from one team to another, as the Hymn of St. Anthony Claret was sung by the athletes. There was a fireworks display after the program, immediately followed by basketball and volleyball games. The 3rd Claret Unity Cup was hosted by Ramona Victoria from Claret School - Grade School Team and Robert Laurio from Claretian Publications.
