Globalport’s Mikee and Sheila Romero continued the tradition this year of advocating the elegant sport of kings, as well as promoting the Philippine’s world-class polo fields throughout Asia. This is the fourth Polo Cup that Mikee has spearheaded out of his desire to make it known word wide that the Philippines is very much active in the sport of polo. This year though, Mr. Romero decided to take the tournament to whole new level by holding a 6 team open, an event that has never been done in Philippine Polo History where players from Argentina, Thailand, UK, and China where invited to come and show off their skills.
