The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) and Philippine Airlines (PAL) have forged a three-year partnership to provide stronger support for Filipino athletes competing on the global stage.

As part of its sustained commitment to Philippine sports, PAL will extend special travel assistance to the PSC aimed at improving the comfort and convenience of national athletes during official trips. The package includes exclusive fare discounts, additional travel privileges, and Mabuhay Miles rewards for medalists in the Southeast Asian and Asian Games — helping athletes focus fully on competition and performance. “At Philippine Airlines, our vision is to be a globally recognized airline trusted for our world-class excellence and customer experience. As the country’s flag carrier, we pledge to promote Filipino athletes and the values that bring pride and global recognition to the nation.

And when they start winning, they touch the hearts of 110 million Filipinos. Philippine Airlines is giving our athletes a runway to take flight and achieve for the nation. We are blessed that they understand this so well — that we are one flag, one heart.”
The renewed alliance highlights PAL’s commitment to uplifting Philippine sports and strengthening the country’s presence in global competitions. By easing travel burdens and celebrating athletic victories, PAL reaffirms its role not only as the nation’s flag carrier but also as a steadfast champion of the Filipino sporting spirit.

BRAVE Combat Federation wastes no time in keeping the flame of excitement alive as it officially announces BRAVE CF 101, set to take place at the iconic Khalifa Sports City Arena in Isa Town, Bahrain on November 9, 2025. This monumental card will mark the return of the Kombat Kingdom series, ushering in a new wave of high-octane mixed martial arts action just two days after the historic BRAVE 100. Fresh off the centennial spectacle, BRAVE CF doubles down on its promise to deliver world-class combat sports entertainment. The announcement of BRAVE CF 101 underscores the promotion’s relentless drive to build upon its global legacy — a signature that has positioned it as the world’s fastest-growing and most global MMA organization.
“BRAVE 100 represents a defining milestone for the organization and the sport itself. But what makes BRAVE CF truly different is our ability to sustain momentum — to carry the energy from one historic moment straight into the next,” said BRAVE CF President Mohammed Shahid. True to that statement, BRAVE CF 101 will feature two marquee matchups that promise to set Isa Town ablaze. In the main event, Bahrain’s Magomed Idrisov aims to climb the flyweight ranks and inch closer to a spot in the Top Five rankings as he is penciled to square off against Brazil’s Marciano Ferreira, a dangerous finisher eager to spoil the hometown hero’s rise. Adding more firepower to the card, No. 3-ranked lightweight contender Ramazan Gitinov — another proud representative of Bahrain — is slated to battle Turkish debutant Nursultan Asker in the co-headliner — an encounter expected to deliver fireworks from the opening bell.
“BRAVE CF 101 marks the continuation, a statement of our commitment to the sport, and the beginning of a new chapter for the company. We’re not just celebrating our legacy; we’re immediately writing the next line of our story,” said Shahid. With BRAVE CF 101, the stage is set for yet another unforgettable evening in the Kingdom of Bahrain — one that will bridge triumph, tradition, and the unstoppable evolution of the all-encompassing sport. Additional event details, including the complete bout lineup, will be announced in the coming weeks on BRAVE CF's official website (www.bravecf.com) and social media accounts (@bravemmaf).

Sports and tourism stakeholders from national sports associations and clubs, local government units, hotel and resort executives, sports and MICE event organizers, sports facility managers, and corporate sponsors from across the country will gather at the Clark Freeport in Clark, Pampanga on November 7, 2025 for the Sports Tourism Forum organized by the Philippine Sports Turismo Alliance Inc. with support from the Clark Development Corporation, Department of Tourism, Tourism Promotions Board, Bases Conversion and Development Authority, and Clark International Airport Corporation.
In line with Philippine President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s call to make sports events a catalyst for boosting tourism in the country, Sports Turismo Alliance Inc. has intensified its efforts in organizing a series of fora nationwide with the support of the Department of Tourism led by Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco. “The Philippines is off the starting blocks to prove itself as a great sports host country. International sporting events such as the FIBA World Cup in 2023, the recently concluded FIVB World Championship, and the forthcoming FIFA Women’s Futsal World Cup are great testimonies of our capability and popularity as a sports hub,” said Sports Turismo Alliance Inc. President and CEO and Philippine Sports Tourism Awards Founder and Chairman Charles Lim. A power-packed panel of international and local speakers, headed by International Children’s Games President Igor Topole, will further strengthen the Philippines’ thrust in sports tourism. Other invited speakers include Sports Administrator Maggie Hsu of the Ministry of Education in Taiwan, Philippine Sports Commission Chairman Patrick Gregorio, Sunrise Events Inc. President and General Manager Princess Galura, MILO Philippines Head of Sports Carlo Sampan, and Department of Tourism Director Robby Alabado.
“Maximizing and sustaining our sports programs and facilities is still a challenge for major sports hubs, while local sports tournaments can be developed in small cities into national and international events. These are topics we will be discussing at the forum,” said Lim. The forum will also tackle the economic, cultural, social, environmental, and sports development impacts on host cities. The Clark Development Corporation will host a cultural dinner and closing ceremony for all delegates, coinciding with the launch of “Happening On The Green”. For registration details and more information, contact arantxa.selrahco@gmail.com (+63 920 840 4817) or jade.selrahco@gmail.com (+63 960 437 4034).
