At stake in the open event are the four Philippine Team slots which will be disputed by at least 30 boys aged 17 years and below invited by the Junior Golf Foundation of the Philippines.
Those who will make it will battle it out with regional rivals at the Krisada Golf Club in Bangkok this February for the right to represent Asia in the Junior World Team Championships in Japan.
Tournament director Gerry Handog said they hope to form a competitive team which hopefully would make it all the way to Japan.
The Japan event will assemble qualifiers from all over the world including those in Europe and the Americas.
Meanwhile, Carl Santos Ocampo, Jayvie Agojo and Dottie Ardina led the winners of the recent Jungolf Anniversary held at the Riviera Golf and Country Club in Silang, Cavite.
