Talamak Golfers Allianz, an association of mostly Filipino-Canadian golf enthusiasts in the Greater Toronto Area, recently held its Annual Awards and Appreciation to honor and recognize the club’s outstanding performers, corporate sponsors and supporters. Notably, the club bestowed its most important award to LBC, the Philippines’ premier cargo forwarding firm, for the company’s significant contribution to the development of sports within the community.
Chito Yorro, the Talamak Golf’s chairman cited LBC’s invaluable support to the game of golf, particularly its sponsorship last summer of the GTA Interleague Golf tournament participated in by over 140 golfers from six different golf clubs in Ontario. As well, Boyet Bautista, Talamak president, lauded LBC for its active involvement in growing the game of badminton in the community, citing the collaboration between Talamak and LBC in the holding of the 5th annual badminton tournament last April. In the said event, more than 100 badminton enthusiasts, men and women, young and old, played competitively at the Epic Sports Arena in Scarborough wherein trophies, cash prizes, gifts food and drinks were provided by LBC.

In accepting the plaque of appreciation from Talamak Golf Club, LBC Country Head, Harold de Leon, reiterated his company’s continued support and involvement to the ongoing sports initiatives within the Filipino-Canadian communities that it serves – not just in the sports of golf, badminton, tennis or basketball – but also in such other worthwhile projects like the ANCOP (Answering the Call of the Poor) charity walk, and various other fund-raising activities designed to alleviate the hardships of Filipinos back home who were adversely impacted by the devastating typhoons recently.
