Anthony del Rosario at ibang sports officials at government leaders kabilang na si Tagum City Mayor Allan Rellon sa mga dadalo sa opening day rites.

Umabot sa 14,390 athleta ang sumali sa 2016 edisyon ng taon ng paligsahan para sa mga batang atleta na may edad 17-anyos pababa.

Ang pagdaraos sa Batang Pinoy ay bunga sa Executive Order no. 44 na nilagdaan ni dating pangulo Joseph Estrada noong 1998.
