Fil-Am Golf: From competition to realization

Manila Bulletin

|

December 5, 2025

Driving up to Baguio City has always been a pleasure for me. But on one special occasion, I had a mission.

On my sixth time in the City of Pines this year alone, I was tasked to lead a group of seasoned golfers who are as close to my heart as my love for the sport.

Appointed as the team captain for the sportswriters team in the 75th Januarius Fil-Am Invitational, it was rather amusing to hear stories of decades of genius work from the giants of the industry, a sweet recollection of how they defied the test of time from the age of paper and pen to the ever progressing digital realm.

Representing the John Hay Golf - John Hay Hotels in the seniors category were former Manila Bulletin and Tempo editors Ding Marcelo and Rey Bancod, Inquirer's Jun Engracia, Star's Nelson Beltran, and Spin.ph's Dodo Catacutan. I couldn't be more proud and excited, albeit in a challenge one would remember for a lifetime.
