Jan 26, 2011, the Q Parade, was joined by 7,200 students and 150 registered alumni. The parade passed from UST to Morayta and then Recto and Mendiola. There were five floats, one each representing the four centuries of the University, and the "Q" float. The first float represented the first century of the University with a replica of the statue of the founder, Msgr. Miguel de Benavides, O.P. The second float showed a model of the Arch of the Centuries. The third float was designed after the Main Building which was built on the España campus in the 1920s. The fourth float was patterned after the UST Central Seminary with the Fountains of Wisdom and Knowledge. The Q float showcased models of the yet to be unveiled Quattromondial, the future Martyrs' Monument, and the Tria Haec, or the statues representing faith, hope, and love atop the Main Building. The first to fourth floats carried candidates for this year’s Search for the Ideal Thomasian Personalities (TSITP) while the Q float carried reigning Thomasian Personalities, Ms. Earth Eco-Tourism 2009 Angela Fernando, businessman Joel Cruz, and alumni who have won beauty pageant titles.
