The Bravo Golf Club, the new crown jewel of a course in Negros Oriental, will be unveiled on April 7 in Dumaguete City.
Course owner Edilberto B. “Bert” Bravo said Tourism Assistant Sec. Frederick “Ricky” Alegre will be the guest of honor in the opening of the championship course expected to attract golfers from all over the world searching for uncharted places to play golf and enjoy the beach at the same time.
“We are distinctly honored to have Asec Alegre as our special guest,” said Bravo, the lawyer-owner of U-Bix Corporation. “It gives us singular pleasure as Asec. Alegre is a very busy man these days, what with the hot Boracay issue and other tourism concerns needing his much-valued attention.”
Alegre, an avid golfer himself, praised Bravo’s pioneering efforts in ecotourism.
“It is, indeed, very auspicious enough as the Bravo Golf Club opens at a time when sports tourism is a top priority of the Department of Tourism,” said Alegre, also the Tourism spokesperson.
“On behalf of Tourism Secretary Wanda Tulfo Teo, it’s really hats off to Atty. Bravo for his major contribution to the tourism industry in the Visayan region in particular and to the nation in general.”
