On June 27, 2024, a pioneer in Philippine sports was laid to rest in her beloved hometown of Iligan City where she was born to another pioneer, businessman Captain Benjamin B. Andrada, a native of Capiz, and a relative of President Manuel A. Roxas Sr., and Doña Concepcion Tabora Lluch of the famous Spanish family of Iligan.
Successively, Alice Andrada became the first woman to become a member of the National Golf Association of the Philippines . She also founded the Southern Ladies Tournament and headed it as long as she could for some 62 years with the purpose of connecting women golfers in southern Philippines with their counterparts in Metro Manila.
She not only showed me their family albums but also lent/gave some photos that always graced not only my “” but also subsequent photo exhibits. To me, the most notable photo from the Andrada album is the one of the Lanao delegation to the inauguration of President Roxas in 1947. The photo was taken in the official reception room of Malacañan Palace with the President himself joining the group.
