The tournament honors the late Albino D. Gothong, who was widely regarded as the godfather of the Filipino-Chinese golf community. He was a known philanthropist, an avid traveler, and a passionate golfer.
Gothong served as a former director of AVGCC and is remembered for organizing grand golf events with his group during the mid-1990s.
His group organized the Filipino-Chinese golf tournament and other events at the AVGCC, Cebu Country Club, and Club Filipino de Cebu.
Gothong also helped many people through his foundation by supporting students’ education. He also made anonymous donations to fund drives benefiting indigent patients. / EKA
