In June 2000, as part of the Jubilee Year celebration of the Catholic Church, the Diocese of Antipolo offered Mass at the center with Cardinal
Jaime Sin, Archbishop of Manila, and Archbishop Antonio Franco, Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines, who was then making a pastoral visit to the diocese. Mass was again offered at the center in 2005 to celebrate the National Eucharistic and Marian Year. The center was also the venue for a congress held in celebration of the same season. Former president
Corazon Aquino and Bishop Teodoro Bacani were the main speakers. In 2007, the Diocese of Antipolo held a well-attended concert of its priests in the center. On December 5, 2008, the center was again the venue of a Mass and program celebrating the 25th anniversary of the canonical erection of the Diocese of Antipolo. It has hosted various international events, such as the
2011 FIBA Asia Champions Cup. In late 2000,
Manny Pacquiao won in 10 rounds against
Nedal Hussein in an international title bout prior to his first match in the United States a few months later. Aside from hosting basketball, boxing, volleyball and other indoor sports, the Ynares Center is also used for concerts and other crowd gatherings. Ynares Center is also the home of school pageants and school celebrations. Every year,
Our Lady of Fatima University holds its founding anniversary there. Every year, schools in Antipolo compete in the Drum and Lyre Competition held usually in December. == Tenants ==
