Giving the audience a glimpse of the happenings in the recently concluded Rector's Cup III, an audiovisual presentation of the registration, the tournament proper and the fellowship was presented.

Shortly after, Dr. Laurel, gave his last speech as a tournament director-citing the history of the Rector's Cup, emphasizing the importance of sports as the alumni's connection to the university, and mentioning the exceptional generosity of the alumni when it comes to supporting the athletes.

Succeeding Dr. Laurel was Engr. Fernando as he delivers his first directorial message to the athletes who he vehemently assured of the alumni's constant support; also stating that sports is a good avenue for the alumni to strengthen their camaraderie.
