The spirit of camaraderie and remembrance took center stage as the Veterans Bank Victory Day Golf Cup officially teed off at the historic John Hay Golf Club in Baguio City. The ceremonial drive earlier today gathered distinguished guests from the military, government, and diplomatic corps, marking the start of one of the most meaningful golf tournaments in the country.

Leading the ceremonial tee-off were Ian Alacar, Tournament Director; Aubrey Carlson from the US Embassy; AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Romeo Brawner; Veterans Bank President Yul Catabran; Baguio City Mayor Benjie Magalong; and Cagayan Governor Edgar Aglipay. Their presence underscored the tournament’s significance not just as a sporting event, but as a tribute to the heroism of Filipino veterans who fought for freedom during World War II.

The Victory Day Golf Cup is an annual tradition organized by the Philippine Veterans Bank, blending competitive sport with a strong sense of history and nationhood. It serves as both a fundraising and commemorative event, with proceeds dedicated to programs supporting the welfare of veterans and their families.
For many participants, the event is more than just a chance to play on one of the country’s most scenic and challenging courses. It is also a way to honor the legacy of Filipino and American soldiers whose sacrifices secured the peace and democracy enjoyed today.

With top executives, local leaders, and golf enthusiasts in attendance, this year’s edition of the Veterans Bank Victory Day Golf Cup promises spirited competition while keeping alive the memory of the nation’s war heroes. As clubs swing and camaraderie builds, the true victory lies in celebrating history through sport.
