We have always understood that the Philippines– with its sensational landscapes, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality– together with more than a hundred first-rate quality golf courses throughout our islands, has all the makings of a world-class golf location. What was required was an intentional effort to position golf within our wider nationwide method, not only as a sport, but as an experience that brings together play, culture, along with community,” Secretary Frasco emphasized in her speech.
She noted that the occasion, attended by partners from the general public and private sectors and members of the Diplomatic Corps, reinforces collaborations among all stakeholders and promotes the Philippines as a top traveler location and market chance.
