The Sigma Rho Golf Invitational, themed “Defenders of the West Philippine Sea,” is set to take place on December 2, 2024, at the prestigious Alabang Country Club. This highly anticipated event brings together legal experts, maritime industry leaders, and golf enthusiasts in support of The Philippine Territory Project, an initiative led by the Institute of Maritime and Ocean Affairs under the leadership of Justice Antonio T. Carpio.
The Philippine Territory Project aims to distribute the 1875 Carta General del Archipielago Filipino—a comprehensive map of the Philippines from the Spanish and American periods—to schools nationwide. This initiative seeks to educate younger generations about the nation’s territorial integrity and maritime zones, fostering a deeper understanding of history and national pride while contributing to the defense of the West Philippine Sea.
More than just a golf tournament, the Sigma Rho Golf Invitational serves as a platform to celebrate camaraderie and collaboration while supporting a cause of national significance. Participants will also have the opportunity to listen to a presentation by Justice Carpio, who will highlight the critical role of cartographic history in asserting the Philippines’ territorial rights.
