THE men’s ‘Advance’ badminton pair of Jonathan Tolentino and Ken Kouke took out the 2013 Philippine Australian Sport and Culture (PASC) badminton championship at the Bernie Mullages Sports Complex in Kellyville NSW recently.

At total of 52 pairs took part in the men’s, women’s, and mixed doubles competitions.
”Players once again were treated with breakfast, luscious lunch and pinoy snacks to keep them moving and smashing those shuttlecocks to their might,” said PASC sports director Roldan Discaya.
”At the end of the day few were declared champions, but all were winners ~ winners for playing their hearts out.
Badminton coordinator Marivic Ayap-Flores said: “Forget the trophies, every player won the crowd’s admiration for playing fair, hard, and most of all for winning new friends.”
