Polo passion, Pinoy style

MANILA, Philippines - Local retail brand and fashion innovator Collezione-C2 is putting the Philippine map on yet another line of shirts — polo uniforms — via the 2010 President’s Cup. The prestigious tournament, which was recently capped off with an exciting season ender, saw polo players proudly wearing brand-new team uniforms with the Philippine map emblazoned on the front.

Manila Polo Club’s Enrique Zobel Field was packed with families and steady supporters of the sport, with Collezione-C2 president Joey Qua and creative director Rhett Eala also making sure to be there for the action. The excitement in the air was palpable as Reds reigned supreme over Yellows (7-3) during the low goal match, while Whites clinched a win over Blues (8-5) during the high goal match.

Paolo Gabriel Santos, first vice president of the Manila Polo Club, presided over the declaration of the closing of the 2010 polo season, as well as the salute and ceremonial throw-in. The event ended with Santos leading the Awarding Ceremonies, and finally, cocktails for the players and guests.

Collezione-C2’s Polo Club shirts will be available (in black, navy, red and white) at Collezione-C2 stores.
