TECNO Unleashes POVA 7 Ultra 5G, the Philippines’ First Triple-Crown Official Gaming Phone, at POVA Gaming Fiesta

September 3, 2025


TECNO Philippines transformed SM Fairview into a gamer’s paradise on August 9-10 with its "POVA Gaming Fiesta," drawing record crowds for the explosive launch of the POVA 7 Ultra 5G. Set against a life-size PUBG Mobile battleground, the event immersed over 5,000 Filipino gamers in interactive zones where they experienced first-hand the device’s industry-leading 120FPS gameplay and futuristic light-strip design – solidifying TECNO’s commitment to revolutionizing local mobile gaming culture.


Philippines’ First Triple-crown Esports Phone Redefines Competitive Edge

The POVA 7 Ultra 5G achieved an unprecedented trifecta of esports endorsements, directly addressing Filipino gamers’ demands for tournament-grade reliability. As the newly unveiled Official Device for PUBG Mobile Challenger Leagues SEA(PMCL) 2025, it guarantees frame rate stability during high-stakes professional matches – a critical advantage validated by PMCL Commissioner’s live demonstration at the event. Simultaneously, TECNO announced long-term collaboration as Exclusive Gaming Partner of the Philippine National Esports Team (SIBOL), designating POVA 7 Ultra 5G as the official gaming phone for SIBOL athletes in SEA Games and Global Esports Championships. "When our players defend PH glory, they’ll do it with POVA’s 120FPS precision," stated SIBOL Team Manager, Jeff Victoriano. The phone also received pre-certification as the Official Gaming Phone for Honor of Kings Philippine Kings League (PKL) launching late August – positioning it as the undisputed performance benchmark across Philippines’ top two mobile esports titles.


Dito Partnership Eradicates Gaming Data Barriers

In a game-changing move for cost-conscious Filipino gamers, TECNO partnered with DITO, the country’s fastest-growing mobile network, to launch the industry-first "TECNO x DITO x PUBG Mobile Prepaid Gaming SIM." in the event. DITO’s brand ambassadors PPOP sensation ALAMAT brought down the house with a surprise performance, announcing the customised SIM releasing.


DITO Mobile, TECNO, and PUBG Mobile have joined forces to create the "Perfect Gaming Squad," offering Filipino mobile gamers an exclusive bundle with a winning edge. The bundle features the TECNO POVA 7 Ultra 5G—the official PUBG Mobile smartphone—and a DITO Prepaid Gaming SIM.

This powerful collaboration delivers unbeatable performance and a premium gaming experience at an accessible price.

POVA Chief Gaming Officer Myrtle Sarrosa Bridges Gaming-Cosplay Divide

TECNO cemented its cultural relevance by renewing multi-hyphenate icon Myrtle Sarrosa (actress/gaming queen/cosplay star) as POVA Chief Gaming Officer. Her expanded role will deepen TECNO’s penetration into PH’s exploding cosplay community while anchoring hardcore gaming credibility. During the offline appearance, Myrtle cos the newest PUBGM skin - Spectral Byte with light-strip flares on her costume and weapon – a visual metaphor for how the phone merges performance and personal expression. "POVA 7 Ultra 5G isn’t just a tool, it’s your battle jewelry," she declared, showcasing the device light effects and designs that drew roaring approval from Gen Z attendees.

“Huwow!” Mang Juan announces P-pop Kings SB19 as the newest ambassadors!

August 10, 2025


The country’s P-pop kings are ready to enjoy their own “Huwow” moments as Mang Juan’s newest ambassadors

Globally recognized P-pop group SB19 is the new face of well-loved Pinoy snack brand Mang Juan



Everyday we try to find that extra burst of energy to push through. Sometimes, it’s those unexpected “Huwow” moments that give you the boost you didn’t know you needed.
Mang Juan, known for its asim-anghang taste and Pinoy-sarap flavors, is turning up the excitement with its newest endorsers, P-pop sensation SB19, whose electrifying performances and fun-loving personalities perfectly embody the snack brand’s ‘Huwow’ energy! 

“We’re glad to know that Mang Juan is a proudly Filipino brand that represents the youthful Pinoy spirit—full of energy and passion that shines through despite any hardship,” said Pablo, who’s looking forward to enjoying both new and classic Mang Juan flavors. “It’ll level up our snack time as we continue to tour and perform.”


SB19 Enjoys Mang Juan
Whether they’re rehearsing or on the move, Mang Juan has become SB19’s go-to bite to stay energized despite their hectic schedules. “Nakakapagod ang training at rehearsals namin, pero worth it para sa mga A’TIN,” said Stell. “That’s why it’s nice to have a snack like Mang Juan that gives us that energy boost! Nakakawala talaga ng pagod, and it’s motivating too.”

Ken also emphasized the importance of supporting local wherever they go. “As a group that proudly represents Filipino talent, we always do our best to support local brands like Mang Juan. It tastes great and brings back flavors we all grew up loving,” he said.



“Huwow” Moments with SB19 and Mang Juan

Mang Juan brings out a variety of asim-anghang flavors—perfect for those exciting “Huwow” moments. For SB19, these moments have come often throughout their journey from being humble trainees to global P-pop icons. Despite their massive fanbase and growing success, the group remains in awe of how far they’ve come.
“We don’t really expect results immediately, but our fans never fail to amaze us. Their power and support always make us say, ‘Huwow!’” shared Josh. He also reflected on a recent milestone that their fandom, A’TIN, made possible: “We know we have loyal supporters, but we didn’t expect the reach we have now. Our shows are selling out so fast—like Day 1 of our Simula at Wakas World Tour Kickoff at the Philippine Arena, which sold out in less than seven hours!”

Beyond live performances, SB19 continues to shine on the charts. Justin expressed his amazement at their expanding reach: “Even when we check the rankings, we’re like, ‘Huwow!’ tracks from our Simula at Wakas EP are not only charting locally, but also making it onto international charts, even Billboard!”
Despite the massive success they experience, SB19 always makes sure to have time to sit back, relax, and enjoy delicious Mang Juan snacks with their favorite flavors – Chicharron ni Mang Juan Sukang Paombong, Espesyal Suka’t Sili, Chik’n Skin ni Mang Juan, Kropek ni Mang Juan Spicy Pusit and Kropek ni Mang Juan Sweet Chili Hipon.

Experience a “Huwow” moment with every flavor of well-loved Pinoy snack brand Mang Juan.
