At the crack of dawn of the 27th of January 2024, Authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan (AFAB) Administrator & CEO Mohammed Hussein P. Pangandaman together with distinguished businessmen and representatives of various AFAB stakeholders, gathered in anticipation of the launch of the first-ever AFAB Administrator and CEO Golf Tournament, also dubbed as the AFAB HPP Cup.
The eager players greeted the first light of the last Saturday morning of January, taking in the crisp morning air that brushes through the seemingly endless greeneries of the Pradera Verde Golf and Country Club.
