After taking the first-round lead, Celestino matched par then scored a 75 in the final round to finish at 223 for a three-stroke win over Agustin Mata.
Mata claimed the boys’ 16-under title and will join Celestino at the Grand Finals in China to be hosted by Nick Faldo at Mission Hill Golf Club next March.
Princess Superal, 13, topped the girls’ category to claim the third and final automatic qualifying spot at Mission Hills.
She posted a 235 total, five strokes ahead of Mia Legaspi, for her third straight triumph since reigning in her age-group in the Asia-Pacific meet in Bangalore, India.
More than 50 joined the Philippine qualifying at TAT Filipinas but last year’s winner Jobim Carlos was not among them after opting to play in Singapore along with the other members of the ICTSI pool.
The Faldo Series served as the seventh leg of the ICTSI Jungolf Summer Circuit organized by the Junior Golf Foundation of the Philippines which is also sponsored by Philippine Airlines, Pancake House Group, Teriyaki Boy and Sizzilin Pepper as major sponsors. The other sponsors are Dynamic Sports and Leisure Corp., McDonald’s, Smart, Golf Depot, and Pioneer Insurance.

Lawrence Celestino will lead the country’s campaign in the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final after winning the Philippine leg at the TAT Filipinas Golf Club in San Pedro, Laguna.
The 18-yar-old Celestino didn’t start out well with a four-over 76 on opening day but rebounded in the next two round to complete a three-shot win over Augustin Mata in the second Faldo Series Philippine Championship.
His rounds of 75 and 72, together with the 76, gave him a 223 total enough to earn for him a slot in the boys’ Under-21 division in the grand final set at the Mission Hills in China on March 2011.
Despite the runner-up finish of the 16-year-old Mata, he is still going to China as he topped the boys’ 16-and-under division.
Princess Superal engineered a romp in the girls’ category, shooting a 235 to beat Mia Legaspi by five and claim the third and final automatic spot. The 13-year-old, who won in the 31st Asia-Pacific Junior Golf Championships in India two weeks ago, will have her second chance to win in international competition at Mission Hills.
Last year’s winner Jobim Carlos was unable to defend his title due to a last minute international call up, however more than 50 other talented young golfers from The Philippines and further afield, boys and girls aged 12 to 21.

May 11, 2010: 17 year-old Jobim Carlos will be confident of booking a return trip to the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final when the 2nd Faldo Series Philippines Championship returns to TAT Filipinas Golf Club in San Pedro, Laguna, on May 24-26.
The teenager from Bulacan stormed to a nine-shot victory in last year’s inaugural championship at TAT Filipinas, a club located 30 minutes drive from Manila and known for its environmental sustainability and social programmes.
The win earned Carlos a place in the Grand Final at Mission Hills Golf Club in Shenzhen, China, last March where, watched by Sir Nick Faldo, he recovered from a nervy first-round 87 on the Faldo Course to post two consecutive 74s and finish as the leading Filipino player in the 54-hole R&A World Amateur Golf Ranking event.
A field of more than 80 talented young golfers from The Philippines and further afield are expected to take part at TAT Filipinas in the first of nine ‘open’ championships on the 2010/2011 Faldo Series Asia schedule. Boys and girls aged 12 to 21 will benefit from top level competition under strict tournament conditions over three rounds as well as expert advice from guest speakers. The field will be divided into five age categories, three for boys (Under-21, Under-18 and Under-16) and two for girls (Under-21 and Under-16), and the winner of each category will join six-time Major winner Faldo at Mission Hills next March for the 5th Grand Final.
As with all Faldo Series Asia tournaments, younger children from the local community will also gain access to golf at the Philippines Championship through a programme of grass-roots activities and the chance to watch the competitors in action.
Underwritten by Faldo himself, the Faldo Series Asia is supported by major partners ISPS, Mission Hills and The R&A as well as official golf wear partner Alpine Creations. It is also endorsed by the Asian Tour and the Asia Pacific Golf Federation (APGC).
Further to the success of the Faldo Series Europe, launched in 1996, the Faldo Series Asia was established in 2006 to bring opportunities to young people in Asia and to help develop the region’s next generation of champions. Over 30 tournaments now take place in more than 25 countries across the UK, Europe, South America, the Middle East and Asia and former winners include recent PGA Tour and Ladies European Tour champions, Rory McIlroy and Melissa Reid, European Tour winners Nick Dougherty and Marc Warren, India’s number one amateur Rashid Khan and Chinese Taipei’s two-time LPGA Major winner Yani Tseng.
The 2010/2011 Faldo Series Asia schedule features a record 17 tournaments in 12 different countries including six in mainland China plus others in The Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Bahrain, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Japan, Chinese Taipei, Indonesia and Thailand.
The 2009/2010 Faldo Series Asia boys’ title was won by 14 year-old Masamichi Ito from Japan with Thidapa Suwannapura, 17, of Thailand claiming the girls’ crown. Both will be invited to play in a professional tournament on the Asian Tour and Ladies European Tour respectively. They have also earned exemptions into the Faldo Series Europe Grand Final, to be played over the Faldo Course at the Lough Erne Resort in Northern Ireland on September 21-23.

Jobim Carlos aims to defend his Faldo Series Philippine Championship title when the second edition of the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final tees off at the TAT Filipinas Golf Club in San Pedro, Laguna later this month.
Carlos zoomed to victory in the maiden tournament last year also at TAT, giving the 17-year-old sensation every reason to aspire for a back-to-back title. He earned a slot in last year's Grand Finals of this event held at the Mission Hills Golf Club in Shenzhen, China.
Carlos opened with a 15-over-par 87, but recovered with a pair of two-over-par 74s in the next two days. He was declared the best Filipino in the 54-hole R&A World Amateur Golf Ranking event.
The grand final was supervised by golf great Nick Faldo, who established the Faldo Series Asia in 2006 to bring opportunities to young people and to develop the region’s next generation of champions.
More than 80 talented young golfers from the Philippines are expected to take part at TAT Filipinas in the first of nine "open" championships on the 2010/2011 Faldo Series Asia schedule.
