UPAAA-NSW Oblation Cup raises funds for new scholar

The University of the Philippines Alumni Association of Australia – New South Wales Chapter recently held the second Oblation Cup Golf Tournament for the continuing benefit of its Scholarship Grant project.

Proceeds from this year’s tournament will support the Association’s new scholar, Miko Masangkay, a B.S. in Agriculture student from UP Los Baños.

The event, named after UP’s famous icon, was held at the Woodville Golf Course in Guildford and was participated in by 69 players from different Sydney golf clubs.

Hitting the top this year were Sata Latu (overall champion), Jeremy Licuanan (Grade A winner), Dodee Leones (Grade B winner), Bernie Balagtas (Grade A runner-up) and Jerome Gaerlan (Grade B runner-up) who each received a trophy. Leones was also among the “nearest to the pin” winners along with Wil Badiola, Rey Garcia, Carlos Perez and BJ Villa.

Now held annually on Easter Monday, the Oblation Cup was chaired by Engr. Ferdi and Dr. Cora Francisco with support from community-based businesses and UPAAA-NSW members.
