Rhotelo Labestre United Bodybuilding Association (UBA) vice-president Rhotelo Labestre said the event is sponsored by the Sports Development Division-City Mayor's Office and aims to provide opportunity for bodybuilders to showcase the body they worked hard for.

Adjad will compete in the heavyweight division.
