President’s Report

Dear Valued Members:

The board year 2020-2021 will be remembered as a year
of struggles, trials, and challenges. The pandemic has
brought the world to a standstill and people have seen
the worst in everything. The global health crisis took a toll
on everyone’s lives.

With the collective effort and help of the Board of
Directors, management and employees, we were able to
hurdle the difficulties and kept the operations afloat and
thriving. As we were not allowed to have large gatherings,
we had our first hybrid annual shareholders meeting on
August 25, 2020 and the first virtual induction ceremony
with virtual entertainment on December 11, 2020. Your
board and the respective committees had online virtual
meetings to discuss the operations of the club.

We implemented health and safety protocols and
launched new products and services to adapt to the new
normal.

At the onset of the pandemic, we were able to maximize the club’s food reserves during the lockdown
and were able to donate packed meals from March 28 – April 11, 2020 to the healthcare workers of the
Makati Medical Center.

As people began to be cautious about enclosed spaces, the club maximized the Alfresco and open
areas within the club premises to provide members safe and properly ventilated dining locations.

• The Alfresco Veranda is one of the facilities which was recently opened to cater to the needs of
the members under the new normal. It is an open space located in the veranda which has a mesmerizing
view of the lush trees and the swimming pool. It is an ideal place for dining as it is well ventilated and
relaxing.

• We converted the Bistro Lounge into a Sports Bar to provide a place for members to hang-out
and spend time with friends. It is a perfect venue to unwind as it is an open space and an air-conditioned
bar rolled into one.

While closely monitoring our capital expenditures, the indoor tennis court and the lanai kitchen underwent
a major renovation. To address the repairs and maintenance needs of the club, the club also did a
quarterly preventive maintenance cleaning of the kitchen exhaust, repair and re-painting of the ceiling
back exit of Ayala Banquet Hall, repainting of the Ladies’ Locker Room, cleaning of outdoor tennis
courts, landscape maintenance, and regular fumigation and sanitation of the club’s premises to prevent
mosquito breeding. Additionally, we are upgrading our WIFI in the whole club to ensure wider and faster
connectivity.
