Five of the 21 bidders in next week's ICTSI Negros Occidental Classic expect to crowd for top honors coming off stints abroad even as a couple of aces make their return to the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour in Bacolod.

Top amateurs Rianne Malixi and Mafy Singson, who are currently vying in the Women's Amateur Asia Pacific Championship in Singapore, have confirmed their participation in the March 16-18 event presented by MORE Power and serving as the second leg of this year's LPGT following the successful staging of the Anvaya Cove Ladies International three weeks ago.
