In December of 2025, the Hugo family was fortunate enough to travel to the Philippines for the holidays. Making the trek from Charlotte, North Carolina to Chicago, Illinois and meeting family to eventually landing a visit to De La Salle Lipa in Batagas.
The students and staff were out for the holiday break, but the Hugo family still met with the Scholarships Office for a campus visit. Since the inception of the ECH Memorial Golf Tournament and donations in 2010, the initial staff that handled the scholarship has changed. This recent visit was a great opportunity to meet some of the office that organize and execute the scholarship activites in-person.
A very nice visit overall, but especially memorable for Eric’s grandchildren: Oona, Johan, and Ronan.
