UP Vanguard Renders Special Tribute to General Carlos P Romulo

Threatened by typhoons “Kabayan” and “Lando”, “The Gen. Carlos P. Romulo Memorial Cup” successfully pushed through last 15 August 2011. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a sunny, cool, perfect day for golf.

Around 120 golfers, mostly top-notch executives from various social and industry sectors, trekked to the Forest Hills Golf & Country Club in Antipolo City to be rewarded with a delightful and pleasant competitive golfing experience.

To complete its success, the tournament was able to achieve its most important goal of bestowing a fitting tribute to General Carlos P. Romulo, in keeping with the UP Vanguard’s new Hall of Fame Memorial Cup tradition. Mr. Miguel Antonio “Mike” Romulo, grandson of the honoree, represented the Romulo family in the event; while participants enjoyed a special video tribute to Gen Romulo entitled “A Warrior for Peace” during the awarding ceremonies.

The UP Barkada added color to the tournament by adopting it as their monthly tournament.

Winners were elated to receive Rayadillo Cadet Trophies specially designed for the Memorial Cup.
