UA&P alumni successfully held the 1st UA&P Dragons’ Golf Cup (UDGC) last March 18 at the Wack Wack Clubhouse where over 170 players and 250 guests were in attendance. Held in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the UA&P Strategic Business Economics Program (SBEP), the tournament raised a donation of Php 2 million for the UA&P’s Phoenix Scholarship Endowment Fund.
The 1st UDGC crowned celebrity Derek Ramsay the overall champion while UA&P alumnus Mr. Miguel V. Tan and Ortigas Land Inc. Assistant Vice-President Ms. Jenna Belardo clinched the Men’s and Ladies’ Division top honors. UA&P alumni Pacific Paints (BOYSEN) Philippines Vice-President Mr. Justin Ongsue (ABHPCMGT, 2002) and FIL-AM Director Mr. John Bautista, Jr. (BSEM, 2002) served as this year’s Tournament Chairman and Tournament Director, respectively. The fellowship banquet after the tournament was hosted by UA&P & Harvard Law alumna Atty. Karen Jimeno (ABHPCMGT, 2001), and radio personality Sam YG.
The UA&P Dragons’ Golf Cup started as a fundraiser in 2017 to commemorate UA&P’s 50th anniversary. The Phoenix Scholarship Endowment Fund was conceptualized by then University Student Government Chief Finance Officer Miguel V. Tan (BSBAM, 2018) and Chief of Staff Jay Regala (BSBAM, 2018), to help alleviate the financial struggles of fellow UA&P students in their final year of study. Mr. Tan is now a member of the UA&P Board of Trustees and Chairman of the MVT Group of Companies while Mr. Regala is the COO of Fasclad, Inc. and Director of X-Strym Ventures Corp.
Co-Presenters of the 1st UDGC included companies led by prestigious UA&P Alumni: Pacific Paints (BOYSEN) Philippines, Inc. (Mr. Justin Ongsue), Megaworld Corporation (Mr. Kevin Tan), Cebu Landmasters, Inc. (Mrs. Joanna Marie Soberano-Bergundthal), Wilcon Depot Inc. (Mr. Mark Andrew Belo and Ms. Careen Belo), and CWC Interiors.
