Sport is one of the world’s universal languages—discussions on favorite teams can unite entire cities, and support for local athletes can be marshaled from even the remotest corners of the globe. There is no better example of this than our own country where a superstar athlete’s successful entry onto the global stage ignites the utmost Filipino pride, hope, and joy. The pandemic challenges thrown at us in 2020 could not dampen the spirits of Filipino athletes who continued to compete on the world stage. Their non-stop hard work, dedication, and passion have come to fruition early in 2021—marking our return to the global arena as a force to be reckoned with.
This summer continues to be an explosive one with exciting fights to watch out for. Denice “The Menace” Zamboanga continues to be an undefeated champ in MMA. The top-ranked women’s atomweight has an upcoming fight you can watch via the ONE Super app on May 28 for the ONE Atomweight Grand Prix on ONE: Empower which promises to be one for the books as she defends her title against South Korean veteran Seo Hee Ham. Whoever wins gets to challenge the reigning ONE Women’s atomweight world champion Angela Lee late this year.
“We continue to cheer on for our Filipino athletes who compete on the global stage,” said Chelo Flores, Head, Video and Music Squad at Globe Telecom. “Through the ONE Super App, Globe subscribers can enjoy the full sports experience and watch our mixed martial arts athletes bring home the gold in any competition they are part of anywhere in the world.” Viewers can catch Team Lakay and other Filipino athletes in coming fights exclusively on the ONE Super app, best enjoyed with Globe Prepaid’s Go50 offer.
Filipinos share an undeniable love for sports, whether it’s mainstream favorites like basketball or more niche competitive games like tennis or MMA. While 2021 might still seem uncertain, this year has become a very promising one for Filipino athletes and sports fans alike. Through Globe, we will be able to keep track of all the games so we can continue cheering for our athletes even during these difficult times.
