On Saturday, August 28, 2010, Toronto's top Filipino golf players and their guests gathered at the Lionhead Golf and Country Club for the 2010 Kalayaan Centre Golf Classic. The event is one of Kalayaan Centre's big fundraiser with sponsors and donors stepping up give support.

Team Champions Jun Paculaba, Patrick Lall, Ken Koeger and Chris Bileski pose with Mama Ching and Mars Cebrero.

This year because of the difficult Lionhead Legends golf course, we used the 4-person best ball/scramble format. More experienced players preferred the individual play but they still enjoyed the game and the competition. The winners were:

Team Champion (Jun Paculaba, Chris Bileski, Patrick Lall and Ken Koeger)
Team Runner-Up (John Manlucu, Gord Drakes, Danny Venditti, Bob Pangilinan)

In addition to the team competition, individual prizes were awarded for:

Putting Contest - Eric Evidente
Longest Drive (Men - Sen Alcover, Women - Rodel Meier)
Most Accurate Drive (Men - Freddie Santiago, Women - Rodel Meier)
Closest to the Pin

The sumptous buffet dinner during the awards ceremonies was enjoyed by all. During the dinner, two golf items were auctioned: Taylor Made driver R9-460 donated by Neil Padilla of State Farm Insurance and Titlist Scotty Cameron Putter with head cover signed by Camilo Villegas donated by Tony Simmons.

Chris Bileski won the the driver and Mario Durigon won the putter.

This year, there were 7 Gold sponsors, 7 Silver Sponsors and 45 Bronze sponsors. Gold sponsors included Petra Ltd., Century Electric, Kenwin Construction, Data Networks Corporation through Feliza and Jim Ke;oer, Neil Padilla - State Farm Insurance, Dr.
Romy and Virgie Sinajon and Alta Nissan, Alta Infiniti.
