President Alfredo Pascual opened the event with a welcome message. Then after, Mayor Rody Duterte delivered a message to everyone expressing his excitement to this project. According to Mayor Duterte, "You know why I really insisted about the complex it's because of the children". We have places here in Davao but you have to pay. This Sports Complex aims to cater sports enthusiasts for free. But of course still under the supervision and management of UP Mindanao.

The ceremony went very well without any clamour except the students
flocking Mayor Duterte like he's a celebrity. Students seemed like they
saw Daniel Padilla or Enrique Gil as they saw our dear Mayor walking on
their way.
