Aside from being a bookworm and role model, Nadine Samonte also sets aside some of her free time by organizing badminton tournaments! Text by Jason John S. Lim. Photo provided by GMA Artist Center.

Earlier this year, ginanap ang First Nadine Samonte Badminton Tournament sa Rally Court, Biñan, Laguna—and Nadine is excited to plan the second one!

"Sobrang okay" ang description na ginamit ni Nadine para sa kanyang unang-unang badminton tournament na siya ang nag-plan. "Ang dami kong sponsors: ang Asia Brewery, nagbigay ng ten boxes of energy drinks; Nestle; Alpo. Tapos sinuportahan din ako ng Gibi, Preppy Clothes, tapos ng King Bee restaurant."

She adds na pati raw ang Ping-Ping Lechon, nagbigay ng pa-merienda: "Lahat ng players natuwa, kasi first time na nagkaroon ng [tournament] na may libreng merienda."

Sa kuwento sa amin ni Nadine, the whole tournament was executed the same as others—may registration fee, at may tournament kit with a free shirt. Pero instead of just that, naipamahagi rin ni Nadine ang mga items na nakuha niya from the sponsors sa mga lumahok sa kanyang tournament.

Bago pa nga daw matapos ang tournament, people were already asking her when the second one would be. Pero ang naging batayan ng success para kay Nadine ay hindi ang pagtatanong kung kailan ang next, kundi—"walang nangyaring away!"

In that respect, according to Nadine, "Sobrang successful, sobrang okay lahat—and madami pang sumasali, pero closed na." Kaya, Nadine is planning to hold another tournament—for next year.

"I'm planning to do it next year—siguro sa birthday ko: March, or siguro April. Mga ganoon." Wala pa mang concrete plans si Nadine for the date of the tournament, she says she does plan on making it an annual event. "Naglu-look forward 'yung sponsors doon sa second—sila mismo 'yung [nagtatanong]."

We'll keep you updated sa mga balak ni Nadine for the Second Annual Nadine Samonte Badminton Tournament—as soon as we get new details. For now kasi, Nadine is focused para sa pagtatapos ng SRO Cinemaserye presents SUSPETSA and sa pagsimula ng susunod niyang GMA Telebabad soap, ang Narda.
