Over 50 players participated, enjoying not only the competitive golfing but also live music and a festive program. The event featured performances by Mr. Brian Bawit and Ms. Margeline Castillo, talented faculty members from the School of Education, Arts, and Sciences (SEAS). Hosting the event was Dr. Richard John Brian D.L. Manzano, LeCAA Auditor and Dean of SEAS, who ensured the program ran seamlessly.
