⛳️ Legazpi Golf Diary: Beyond the Passionate Bonifacio Day! Today's Weather and Golfing Spirit 🔥

 

Good morning! Sending love to all golfers from Legazpi City, Philippines.

🗓️ Monday, December 1, 2025: What's the Weather in Legazpi?

The sky over Legazpi City today will be... "Cloudy, then clearing up!"

With a high of 32°, it’s going to be another hot, tropical day. However, there's a chance of a brief "shower (sudden rain)" in the evening! If you’re heading to the course, don't forget your rain gear to prepare for a sudden downpour! The afternoon round might feel a little cooler.

🇵🇭 Philippines Yesterday: The Fiery Soul of "Bonifacio Day"

Yesterday, November 30th, was a very important national holiday for Filipinos: "Bonifacio Day."

This day commemorates the birthday of the great revolutionary, Andrés Bonifacio, who was instrumental in the fight for independence from Spain.

Just as his passionate spirit lives on today, the holiday was marked by a large-scale anti-corruption protest (the "Trillion Peso March") in the Manila Metropolitan area, where citizens stood up for change. The passion of the revolutionary is certainly fueling citizens who are serious about the country's future.

🏌️‍♂️ Now, Let's Pour that Passion into Golf!

Just like the spirit of Bonifacio, let us golfers pursue the ball with fierce passion!

Somewhere in the world today, it must be the very definition of a "Perfect Golf Day." I hope you all enjoy your golf to the fullest today, with great shots and big smiles!
