TIEZA Reinforces the Legacy of Club Intramuros Golf Course as a Premier Sports Tourism and Heritage Landmark

The Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) proudly underscores its commitment to cultural preservation, sports tourism, and sustainable tourism development through its continued stewardship of the Club Intramuros Golf Course (CIGC)—one of the Philippines’ most historically significant recreational sites and a distinctive gem in the country’s golf tourism landscape. Strategically located within the storied walls of Intramuros, the Club Intramuros Golf Course offers a rare combination of athletic pursuit and heritage immersion. Established in 1906 during the early American colonial period, the course is not simply a leisure amenity but a living mark of Manila’s layered history.

More than a destination for golf enthusiasts, the Club Int

Epson Expands Reforestation Efforts at La Mesa Eco Park

Epson Philippines Corporation continued its environmental efforts this year with a tree-planting activity recently held at La Mesa Eco Park in Quezon City. This activity supports Epson’s goal of protecting the environment and helping keep Metro Manila’s remaining green spaces healthy. This is important because these green spaces act as the “lungs of the city”, providing better air quality in the densely populated urban areas. Epson’s tree planting effort aligns with Epson’s belief that meaningful action, from its technology to its community programs, should create positive, lasting impact. Epson employees recently planted 221 native tree seedlings across designated areas in the park. These species were chosen to strengthen biodiversity and help restore parts of the watershed that have been affected by urban development. As the trees mature, they will help stabilize soil, improve air quality and support better water retention in the La Mesa Reservoir, which supplies essential resources
