Toyota Holds 2nd Invitational Golf Cup

Toyota Motor Philippines Corporation (TMPC) successfully concluded its annual invitational golf cup at Sta. Elena Golf and Country Club last April 11, 2008.  Now on its second year, the golf tourney was presented by Toyota’s latest model, the all-new Corolla Altis.  A total of 130 players from Toyota’s business partners comprised of the dealer network, friends from the media, and their valued clients participated in the tournament.

Mr. Alfred Ty, Vice Chairman, and Mr. Hiroshi Ito, President of Toyota Motor Philippines, with Mr. Francis Laurel, President of Toyota Dealers Association, head the ceremonial tee-off of the 2nd Toyota Invitational Cup.

In a statement, TMPC President Hiroshi Ito shared the tournament’s objectives, “First, is to highlight Toyota’s latest offering in the market, in this case, the all-new Corolla Altis.  Launched just last month, our newest star has already greatly contributed to our leadership in its segment, enabling us to capture Triple Crown in March—Number One is passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and overall sales.

Indeed, this is an achievement worth celebrating, the second goal of the tournament.  We also take this opportunity to thank all of you, friends and business partners, for the support you’ve given to Toyota.  Without our valued customers, Toyota will surely not achieve its success of being: The Number One automotive brand in the country.”

The Toyota Golf Cup awarded a total of 12 winners for class A and B for the Media and the Customers categories.  Toyota recognized the second runner-up, first runner-up, and champion from both categories.  For the Class B Media Division, Mr. Ted Failon of ABSCBN, Mr. Rey Langit of DWIZ and Mr. Jay Sonza of Tapatan  Inc., emerged as 2nd runner-up, 1st runner-up and Champion respectively.  Likewise for the Class A category, Mr. Mike Besa of Business Mirror Golf, Mr. Joey Anciano of Summit Media and Mr. Ding Marcelo of Manila Bulletin were awarded in the same order...
