Businessman Vince Ngo claimed the overall championship in the Play It Forward Fundraising Golf Tournament held on Sept. 16 at Sta. Elena Golf Club in Cabuyao, Laguna.

Ngo fired an impressive 56 points to secure the tournament’s top prize, presented by San Miguel Corporation and AcroCity, and organized by the Next Generation Advocate Foundation PH, Inc. (NextGen).

He edged out Marlon Dizon, Luis Yuchengco, and Nathan Kaewpeng, who all finished with 54 points. Dizon, however, clinched the Class A title through a countback on the last six holes.

Supported by the Yanson Group of Bus Companies, Nationstar Development Corporation, and Bingo Plus, the event brought together key personalities dedicated to NextGen’s philanthropic causes—ranging from environmental conservation to youth development, health, and wellness.

Other notable winners included Kris Peralta, Arthur Dichavez, Ricky Alfonso, and Rhonda Van De Worp, who topped Classes B, C, D, and the Ladies Division, respectively. Fun Hole winners were Jorden David (Nearest to the Pin), Martin Leyeza (Longest Putt), Rocky Cebrero (Longest Drive), and Gerold Fernando (Most Accurate Drive, Hole 10).

This year’s event also supported the rehabilitation of Intramuros, a historical landmark in Manila, with backing from First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos as well as Life Project 4 Youth, which spearheads initiatives to educate young adults aged 17-24 grappling with extreme poverty and societal exclusion.
