CLARK FREEPORT — The 10th International Invitational Fat Boy Tens Rugby Tournament will be held at the Philippine Air Force Challenger Field on September 7.
Some 350 players and delegates from 16 teams from Hong Kong and other countries are set to compete in a game of rugby for charity, said Director Ronaldo Tiotuico of the Department of Tourism–Central Luzon Region.
The same set of players is scheduled to mount their Charity Golf Tournament a day before at the Mimosa Golf and Country Club on Sept. 6.
This annual event, initiated by the Pot Bellied Pigs of Hong Kong, is held to generate P6 million from international companies and charity.
Tiotuico said the sports tourism project will help disadvantaged children in Angeles City including the development of the game of rugby in the Philippines.
“At the same time, it will contribute towards the generation of more visitor arrivals into the country,” Tiotuico said.
In the last three years, the Pot Bellied Pigs headed by its President Alun Grassick from Scotland, who is assisted by Ross Bendix, was able to raise an amount of more than US$50,000 a year for their charitable causes.
Among their beneficiaries include Clark Rugby Club, Philippine Rugby Football Union Development Fund and the Visayas Rugby Football Union.
Tiotuico said the sports club also supports medical missions providing medicines and vaccinations for hundreds of children across the country.
The group is continuously soliciting contributions from companies that support the development of Rugby.
Tiotuico said proceeds will go to students from various schools in Luzon and Visayas who are in training clinics – either touch rugby or full contact.
Feeding programs are held in each clinic. They also sponsor children’s education in Thailand and have sponsored yurts in Mongolia for the Christina Nobel Foundation, he said.
A portion of the proceeds from all-kit sales goes to the club’s designated charities.
DOT-sponsored prize packages such as roundtrip air tickets to Boracay or Davao including More Fun eco-bags will be up for grabs during the club’s charity auction.
The event’s main sponsors are Tanner de Witt, DHL and Overgaard; and with strong support from Holiday Inn–Clark, Angeles City Government, Philippine Air Force in Clark, and the Department of Tourism including Angeles City Water District and Mabalacat City Water District.
“Everyone including children of school age is welcome to watch the games. Special feeding program for children will be mounted on the day itself courtesy of Holiday Inn Clark,” Tiotuico said.
