It was colorful morning and the air was filled with excitement as the tournament formally started with an opening prayer lead by Cherry Parinas, Club Media and the singing of National Anthem lead by Ma Christina Molinyawe, Club Finance
The roaring crowd and players were welcome by the Arman Santillan who is the current Club President for year 2007. Rules and regulations were presented by the Club Vice President for Internal Gary Cristobal.

For two days, players from different teams battled and showed their skills to capture the championship trophy on all levels. It was an exciting day as supporters of each team, shouted and cheered every smash and drop shot of their players.
The tournament ended on the second day with Team Lagalag garnering majority of the championship trophies in all levels. PSG Baddictz, Tropang Smashers and Bisdak Shuttlers followed with their share on other trophies.
The 2nd day of PinoySG Badminton Open ends with an exciting championship fight in Mixed A Doubles which was captured by players from Team Lagalag. Indeed it was one big event that was made possible by the PinoySG Badminton Club officers whom we called as the “badheadz”.
