13th Rafael M. Salas Golf Cup

13th Rafael M. Salas Golf Cup changes format due to Covid-19 pandemic The Salas Golf Cup changes its event format for this year due to the pandemic. With the theme “Complete Healing from Covid-19”, this year’s staging will be 100% virtual with the support of the event’s annual partners and sponsors.
“The pandemic will not stop us from organizing the Salas Cup which we have been successfully mounting every year since 2008,” said Forum President Benjamin De Leon. “While we cannot do it the way we used to, we are still gathering our supportive golfing friends virtually for a few hours of fun talks and raffle. This is our way of saying thanks to our supporters and at the same time helping them stay safe during this critical period,” he added.
The Forum for Family Planning and Development is the lead organizer of The Salas Golf Cup endorsed and supported by Former President Fidel V. Ramos, an avid golfer himself who describes the event as a “worthy cause.”
Salas Cup makes it possible for The Forum to sustain its year-round advocacy operations in relation to population and development, reproductive health, family planning, gender equality and the like. It is safe to say that without the Salas Cup, it will be impossible for The Forum to operate.
While this year’s fund-raising activity will be quite a challenge considering that there will be no media exposure during a golf tournament, we trust that our annual sponsors and donors will understand the present situation and the limitations of the event, thus, will still continue to support the event’s cause.
The companies who have committed their support for this year’s 13th Rafael M. Salas Golf Cup that will happen on November 13 include DKT Philippines, San Miguel Corporation, PAGCOR, Filinvest Development Corporation, Ayala Corporation, Marubeni Philippines, Team Energy, Lopez Group, Asia United Bank, Alpha One, SGV, San Roque Power Corporation, Land Bank, Meralco, among others.
