Two US Open junior champions met at the Toray Pan Pacific Open, but there was little suspense about who had the better grasp of life on the senior circuit. Alexandra Eala, the Philippines’ increasingly assured star, swept past Britain’s Mika Stojsavljevic 6-1, 6-2 in 75 minutes, proving that experience can be every bit as potent as a thunderous forehand.

Aurora Gaming proved that the Northern Lights shine brightest when the odds are darkest, capturing its first Mobile Legends Professional League Philippines (MPL PH) championship after a long wait with a comeback victory over Team Falcons PH on Sunday.

Bloomberry Resorts Corp. is stepping up its push into the Philippines’ expanding digital gaming market, rolling out a P30-million year-end promotional campaign for its online gaming platform, FUNaloMAX, as operators compete to attract and retain players.
