Christmas Contest winners
We were once more deluged with entries from all over the country and even abroad for our yearly Christmas Contest. Entries came from Guimaras, Albay, Pangasinan, La Union, Cavite, Laguna, Pampanga, Bataan, Bohol, Zambales and many more provinces and Malaysia and Switzerland, too.
There were several disqualified entries because of wrong or incomplete answers, over the limit of three sentences in the required essay and lack of personal details (like no age). We were surprised that some entries listed PBA imports Romeo Travis, Dez Wells, Justin Watts, Justin Brownlee, Allen Durham and Michael Qualls as NBA veterans when they never played in the majors. An entry named Onyok Velasco as the last Filipino boxer to bag an Olympic medal but failed to indicate the year he won.
So far, we’ve received cash donations of P101,000 – P50,000 from Chooks To Go (Bounty Agro Ventures president Ronald Mascariñas), P20,000 from businessman/sportsman Hermie Esguerra, P21,000 from Gymnastics Association of the Philippines president Cynthia Carrion and P10,000 from tennis patron Rommie Chan. We’re expecting more cash donations this coming week. We’ve also received product donations from Blackwater CEO Dioceldo Sy, Vita Coco and Robinsons Retail Holdings president Robina Gokongwei-Pe. Donations are coming from PLDT, Smart, San Miguel Corp., Rain Or Shine, Hapee Toothpaste, Peak, NLEX, Meralco, NorthPort, PBA, SBP, ALA Boxing and more. We’ll award the prizes to 30 winners on Sunday, Dec. 22, 10 a.m. outside Starbucks in Molito Alabang.
