We are born.
The Cordillera Golfers Foundation, Inc. (CGFI) is a non-stock and non-profit organization, duly registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, with principal office address at #3 Navy Base Road Extension Street, St. Joseph Village, Baguio City.
The CGFI, composed of homegrown Cordilleran golfers, was born out of their shared desire to reach out to the people who are most in need in the far-flung areas of the country’s highland region.
The Foundation came to inception through the efforts of 15 Cordilleran golfers, cum leaders in their own fields of expertise, who are currently the CGFI’s Board of Trustees.
Led by its Chairman, DOUGLAS RUFINO, and President, ARNEL PEIL, the other incorporators are Arnold Tolding, Francis Cuyop, George Punasen, Ericson Felipe, Elias Bulut Jr., Douglas Rufino, Joselito Tan, Rudolf Dimas, Ceasar DR Pasiwen, Florante Bantales Jr., Nestor Pablo, Allen Jesse Mangaoang, Bond Holden Mangaoang, and Brandy Abeya, who is the current treasurer with Atty. Marlo Quadra as the corporate secretary.
Through the conduct of tournaments, in collaboration with partners in the government and private sectors, the CGFI aims to reach out to the marginalized sectors of society, especially in this northern part of the country.
Following a successful inaugural CGFI Invitational Tournament in May 2023, the foundation has made significant contributions to public schools in Abra, Benguet, Baguio, and Mountain Province, including donations of laptops, tablets, dental chairs and school building.
The CGFI has allocated P2.4 million to the eight Schools Division Offices of the Department of Education-CAR.
