Missing from action are EJ Obiena, who has a prior commitment, weightlifter Vanessa Sarno, boxer Eumir Marcial, gymnasts Aleah Finnegan, Emma Malabuyo, and Levi Ruivivar, and golfers Dottie Ardina and Bianca Pagdanganan.

The parade went through a 7.7 kilometer route which started at the Alw Theater in Pasay City and passed by Manila roads such as Roxas Boulevard, Padre Burgos Ave., Finance Road, Taft Ave., Quirino Ave., and Adriatico Street.
