TOURNAMENT HIGHLIGHTS
by Dado & Cory Hipolito Golf tournament as a fund raising activity??? But it is such an elitist game. It is not fitted to our orientation as a movement for all couples. These were comments that one would often hear when suggestions to hold a golf tournament would come up. It therefore took 24 years before the WWME sponsored a golf tournament. With the able leadership of Henry and Lizzie Atayde, a "professional" golf tournament organizer, the first ever WWME golf tournament finally became a reality. Being the Financial Couple and responsible for the fund raising activity, we had no choice but be immersed in this project. Since it was held in Sherwood Hills in Trece Martires, Cavite, and we had announced that tee off would start anytime between 7 and 9 AM, we had to make sure that we will be at the site by 6 AM. We had to wake up at 4:30 am. What a big sacrifice when we don't play golf anyway. But we were gladdened when we saw our very supportive National coordinator, Terry and Marnie Malicse. 30 Golfers started trickling in. By 9am, the last flight had teed off. It was idle time for Terry (who couldn't play because he was suffering from pneumonia at that time) and Marnie, Albert (who couldn't play because he just recovered from hypertension) of Marie, Alma of Bobby and ourselves. At one point, we commented how difficult it was to wait for the golden boys. It must take them twice as slow to walk and hit the ball. Lunch and the awarding ceremonies started at way past 1 PM. Kasi, mabagal na mag-golf, mas mabagal pang maligo. Because of the generosity and hardwork of our couples, there were ample prizes for all 31 golfers. We count 31 golfers although only 30 played because Albert of Marie paid the full 1600 even if he did not play just to be able to qualify for the raffle. |
Kudos
should go to
Raffy and Glo Rodriguez, who facilitated the donation of P200,000 worth of Taylor Made golf equipment Bobby and Alma de la Cruz, who solicited P10000 each from Citibank Visa and Mastercard Rey and Mel Sangalang for the two tickets to a golfing tournament worth P2500 each Dado and Cory Hipolito for Gourmet's 10 P1000 gift certificates Terry and Marnie Malicse for the P20000 donation of Industrial and Technological Proponents, Inc. Lambert and Nona Tagayuma for generously donating P20000 through theircompany, Blue Star Construction and Development Corporation Ven and Fely Brizuela for the Blue Pacific Beach Resort donation of P10000 Gerry and Mila de Jesus, for the Super Kalan Jimmy and Jinky Lim, for the Stand Fan Henry and Lizzie Atayde for Freddie Atendido's donation of an oven toaster Freddie Atendido is Henry's sparring partner in organizing golf tournaments. His generous heart not only was contented with helping Henry organize the golf tournament, he even donated an oven toaster. A funny thing happened when Bobby of Alma was awarded 2nd runner-up in the Class C division. Jolan of Grace must have sensed something was amiss. He insisted on looking at the score sheets. Lo and behold, he was the deservingwinner of the 2nd runner-up Class C division. Wasn't it providential thatthis was a tournament among friends. Bobby showed his sportmanship by handingthe trophy to Jolan in a ceremonial way accompanied with picture taking. The golf tournament was such a success that now objections to it as being elitist have finally been shelved. Till the next tournament. |

Silver Anniverasary Celebration Will be inCebu Question; what is Cebu City notedfor? Magellan's Cross, Sinulog, Mactan, its sea foods or the warmth and hospitality of its people on this central visayan island? Allof this you will find out and a lot more when WWME Philippines' 25th Anniversary celebration will be held in CEBU. Yes folks, there are treats waitingfor us in Cebu. That's the place to be come Nov 16 to 19, year 2001. This is an opportunity for us tosee and visit this vibrant, colorful and historical city. For thosewho already have established some contacts with friends and kins there, this is the best time to rekindle relationships. Since the event is still some 12 months away, we have plenty of time to prepare for it. Any other reasons and benifits whywe are holding the Silver Anniversary celebration in Cebu? Yes, because Cebu is central to most of the zones in Visayas, Mindanao and Luzon. Also, the particular site in Cebu that we have chosen for the conventionwill fit most of our needs. The place is the GRAND CONVENTION CENTER OFCEBU. It is strategically and conveniently located in downtown Cebu. Shoppingcenters like SM and Ayala Center and nearby big hotels like Waterfrontand many smaller hotels are within easy access. The venue can handle 1,500 to 3,000people, and most of all, the place is being offered to us for FREE. As cash strap as we are in our financesspecially at this time of great economic difficulties, the offer is tootempting to resist. Imagine, rental, airconditioining, sound system, thetables and chairs are all free for the entire celebration. The rental alonewill be a big saving for our movement. And what's the catch for all ofthis? All that we are asked to is to buy the lunch or dinner from them. Isn't that great? Hosting can be handled by the Cebu couples and the rest can be accomodated on other retreat houses and pension houses in MetroCebu. Arrangements are being madeso that transportation by boat and plane fares will be cheap and affordable for WWME couples. At the opening of the convention, participants will have a taste of the real SINOLUG ( Cebu), ATIATIHAN (Ilo-ilo), DINAGYANG.( Antique) and MASKARA ( Bacolod) festivals. Thereare also plans for a parade all over the city. After the convention the delegatescan
have a tour of Cebu's famous tourist spots. A side trip can bearranged
to Bohol to see the Chocolate Hills, the oldest church and theMuseum of
Baclayon. See the smallest monkey in the world, and lunch at Loboc
Cebu is making plans to make thecelebration
worth attending so that couples from Manila, Batangas, Mindoroand all the
other satellite zones in Luzon will not regret coming. Of coursedelegates
and guest from our neighboring Asian countries will be theretoo to celebrate
with us. It will be worth remembering this milestone inour movement's history.
BE THERE!
