77ph Fairways & Bluewater Boracay hosts 45th Southeast Asian Inter-Central Bank Games: A historic 1st in the PH
Fairways & Bluewater Boracay, having been handpicked by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, proudly represented the Philippines as host venue resort for the recently concluded historic 45th Inter-Central Bank Games (ICBG) held last October 17-19, 2024. Fairways & Bluewater is the #1 most booked property in Boracay and the entire Philippines from the beginning of 2023 up to this very day by Booking.com. For the first time since its inception in 1989, the Philippines was chosen as the country host for this year’s games with Boracay Island as its showpiece paradise destination. The event gathered more than 200 Southeast Asian Central Bankers from the central banks of the Philippines (BSP or Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas), Thailand (Bank of Thailand), Indonesia (Bank Indonesia), Malaysia (Bank Negara Malaysia) and Singapore (Monetary Authority of Singapore) for three days of competitive fun, teamwork and camaraderie in events such as e-sports, captain’s ball, badminton, billiards, golf and touch rugby. The event was graced by the presence of dignitaries including BSP Gov. Eli M. Remolona Jr., former Gov. Amando M. Tetangco Jr., Monetary Board Member Walter C. Wassmer and former Monetary Board Member Peter B. Favila whom all participated in the golf tournament held at Fairways & Bluewater Boracay’s 18-hole par-72 championship golf course designed by Australian golf legend, Graham Marsh. No less than the Chairman of Fairways & Bluewater, Wilbur L. Chan, welcomed the top executives of the various central banks from the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations on the golf course. The golf tournament was a fierce but fun and enjoyable competition where the central bankers had an opportunity to showcase their best golf swings, putts, and drives over 18 holes in Fairways’ picturesque but complicated golf course that showcases a scenic view of the Boracay sun, blue seas, and green mountains of one of the best islands in the world.

While most resorts in Boracay only feature concrete buildings filled with guestrooms, a pool and the beach, Fairways & Bluewater goes above and beyond this traditional concept of Boracay. The resort’s much-lauded Kudetah District is a massive sprawling entertainment area that offers the perfect tropical island feel and vibe unlike any in Boracay, even rivaling the party areas of more famous Bali and Phuket. The Ventana infinity pool in this area offers a panoramic view of the Sibuyan Sea and is the site of epic foam parties with DJ’s spinning and flowing drinks at least four times a week. The WeChill Gastropub and Kudetah Trattoria serve delectable Mediterranean and Italian favorites especially curated by Fairways’ very passionate and hands-on Chairman who is actively involved in menu creation from selecting ingredients and perfecting recipes, and creating the perfect ambiance for the area. In line with his thrust to constantly perfect the resort product, the chairman gives his personal stamp of excellence in styling the rooms, designing amenities and facilities, and improving the resort landscape set-ups & public areas.
The ICBG awarding ceremony was held at the WeChill Gastropub crowning the worthy overall champions – the Bank of Indonesia. The entire event was vibrant and jovial celebrating the spirit of fun, teamwork and unity in competition among central bankers of Southeast Asia.
