MANILA, Philippines - In-form Gio Gandionco guns for a second straight victory in boys Class A when the Frankie Miñoza Jungolf Circuit resumes today at the Alta Vista Golf and Country Club in Pardo, Cebu.
After pounding out a close one-stroke victory in the previous leg at the Del Monte Golf Club course in Bukidnon, Gandionco is bracing for another tight battle with Cebu Country Club teammate LJ Go in the centerpiece division for 15-17 years.
The Frankie Miñoza Circuit forms part of the ICTSI Jungolf Circuit sponsored chiefly by ICTSI and also backed by Philippine Airlines, Pancake House and Teriyaki Boy, Sizzlin Pepper.
The tourney, sponsored by the country’s most successful golfer, is held under the auspices of the Junior Golf Foundation of the Philippines as part of its talent development program.
Jungolf president Luigi Tabuena said it gives juniors in the south the needed exposure to become better players and give themselves a chance to represent the country in international events.
“We are one with Frankie Miñoza in providing opportunities for the youth in the south for their progress,” said Tabuena.
From Alta Vista, the circuit moves to the Cebu Country Club for the final leg.
Also gunning for their second wins in the boys division are Reymon Jaraula, JJ Gamolo, Russell Bautista, Rolandeo Bregente and Zeus Zara. Winners in the girls division were Apple Fudolin, Rainstar Roque, Sofia Chabon, Marie Aparilla and Martina Miñoza.
