Media club to stage fund raiser media golf 

The Baguio Correspondents and Broadcasters Club will stage a golf for a cause on January 25 at the Baguio Country Club.

Nearly a hundred players are expected to see action in the one-day Media Golf Tournament 2025  that will use the System 36 mode of play.

BCBC President Thomas Picaña said the event is aimed to raise funds for the club members’ health insurance. The media had been one of the sectors that was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic that started in 2020 and much of the 2021.

This has resulted to the closure of many publications among which are SunStar Daily and the 77-year old Baguio Midland Courier which ceased printing in July last year.

“We hope to raise funds to help pour members secure their health insurance, especially that health is one of the biggest concerns now after the pandemic struck,” said the Amianan Balita Ngayon editor/publisher.

Picaña is also hoping to raise additional funds to help three mediamen who are still recovering from ailments.

There will be three categories in the men’s division, while a senior and ladies divisions are also open, said Picaña.

Aside from the top three placers, trophies will be given also to the player who registers a nearest to the pin, longest drive and most accurate drive, he added.

Picaña is calling on all golf afficionado to join the one-day event, backed by the BCC and Mountain Rep. Maximo Dalog, Jr., to join the event that offers a raffle where entry could win attractive prizes.

Tee time starts at 6AM until the 10AM and the awards will be staged at 4PM at the Par 7 of BCC. BCBC release
