Despite relentless rain and consecutive typhoons pounding Manila, September 8th was a memorable day. The 6th CEO Golf Classic, hosted by John Clements Consultants, unfolded seamlessly. This event brought together Presidents, CEOs, company owners, founders, diplomats, and executives from various industries for a day of relaxation and fun at the Manila Golf and Country Club.
Before the official tee-off at 8 a.m., Carol Dominguez, the President, and CEO of John Clements Consultants, warmly welcomed the participants and sponsors for joining this year’s Golf and Relaxation-themed event.
After almost five hours of golfing, participants enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch, followed by an event program at 2 p.m. to celebrate the winners and distribute raffle prizes from our sponsors.
