Manny Aranez
A hobby that turned into a passion – and now a cross-Canada venture. Manny Aranez, better known as the Commissioner of the Philippine Basketball Association and avid golfer, has come up with the idea of holding an intercity golf tournament in Canada.
Along with other Filipino golf enthusiasts, the new sports organization Fil-Can Intercity Golf Association is now a reality. After seven months of brainstorming with fellow Filipino golf community leaders across Canada, the tournament will feature Filipino golfers from BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba:
FIL-CAN INTERCITY GOLF TOURNAMENT
