Philippine Embassy in Jordan Attends UFO Winter Sports League Awarding Ceremony 2023
The Philippine Embassy in Jordan, led by His Excellency Ambassador Wilfredo Santos and Madame Geraldine Lucero-Santos, attended the Winter Sports League Awarding Ceremony of the United Filipino Organization (UFO) held on 20 January 2023 at the Zeina Hotel in 2nd Circle, Amman.
In his special remarks during the event, Ambassador Santos congratulated the winners of basketball and volleyball tournaments and commended the other participants for their active participation in different sports activities. The Ambassador highlighted that this already makes them also winners in their own right. He also assured the UFO of the Embassy’s continued support for such endeavors. He likewise acknowledged the Filipino community as a partner of the Philippine government in advancing the country’s interests abroad.
The Awarding Ceremony also served as an opportunity for the UFO to formally introduce their organization and 14 subgroups to the Ambassador. Winners of Men and Women’s Basketball and Volleyball games were awarded with medals, plaques, and trophies.
The UFO was founded in 2005 and is currently one of the biggest Filipino community organizations in Jordan. It is headed by its President, Ms. Tita Amer, along with other officers and heads of its subgroups. UFO holds sports leagues twice a year—the Winter and Summer Sports league, during the winter and summer seasons, respectively. END
