DAVAO CITY — In celebration of its 19th founding anniversary, the Eastern Mindanao Command (EastMinCom) is set to roll out a series of sports events aimed at promoting camaraderie, wellness, and community engagement among troops and civilians. The festivities will build up to the command’s anniversary culmination on August 28.
Speaking at the Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum on July 3, EastMinCom spokesperson LTC Salvacion C. Evangelista, PA, shared that the anniversary lineup will feature three major sporting events — a shooting competition, a fun run, and a charity golf tournament — open to both military personnel and civilian participants.
The sports festivities will kick off on July 27 with a Fun Shootfest Competition at the Naval Base Compound Range in Panacan. The event, sanctioned under the Level 1 Philippine Practical Shooting Association (PPSA) seven-stage category, is open to both military personnel and civilian shooters.
Next on the lineup is a Fun Run scheduled for August 10 at 4:30 a.m., featuring 3K, 5K, and 10K categories along the out-and-back route of the Davao City Coastal Road. Registration is ongoing at P250, which includes a commemorative running shirt. Organizers expect around 1,000 runners to join the event.
The third and final sporting event is the Drive for Hope 4.0 Charity Golf Tournament, set for August 22 at Rancho Palos Verdes Golf and Country Club. Open to both military and civilian golfers, the tournament will feature team and individual competitions in Class A, B, C, and Ladies divisions. Registration fee is P3,500.
“These sporting events are not only a celebration of our 19 years of service but also a way to promote camaraderie, physical fitness, and charity within and beyond the military community,” Evangelista said.
The series of events promises to unite the community and armed forces in celebration, sport, and service for a greater cause.(Bob Braceros)
