Proceeds of the golfest on June 15 at the Apo Golf and Country Club will go to the expenses to be incurred by the students who are taking up agriculture and agronomy courses, said Edgardo "Bobet" Castillo, senior vice-president of the University of Mindanao Broadcasting Network, who is part of the organizing committee.
The late Torres, he said, established the college as his pet project.
Malayan Insurance is backing the event by providing P1 million as hole-in-one prize for hole no.4 and P500,000 from Metropolitan Insurance for either hole numbers 7,11 or 17.
On Thursday's Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum at the Tower Inn, Castillo said that they are expecting 280 players to join.
They have increased the number of raffle prizes this year to make sure that even non-tournament winners will bring something back home. "Para mas enjoy," he said.
Castillo said that they have invited Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, Speaker Prospero Nograles, Sports Commission Chairman William Ramirez, Press Secretary Jesus Dureza, a former Mindanao Times editor to join UM president Guillermo Torres Jr. to the ceremonial tee-off at 11 a.m.
Awarding ceremony will be at the Royal Mandaya Hotel.
