ArenaPlus, the 24/7 betting app, has joined in celebrating the successes and hardwork of Philippine athletes during the 2023 SMC Sportswriters Association Annual Awards Night at the Diamond Hotel Philippines.
Last January 29, 2024, the Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) gave recognition to athletes who made their mark last 2023.
The ceremony began with the Tony Siddayao Awards to young athletes with recognizable potential, before moving to the major awards, and other special awards.
Gilas Pilipinas was awarded the President's Award, and pole vaulter- EJ Obiena received the Athlete of the Year Award.
PSA also identified the people and organizations that provided their support. The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas and Jiu-Jitsu Federation of the Philippines were both named the National Sports Association of the Year, while SMC President and CEO Ramon Ang, and First Pacific Company Chairman and CEO Manny Pangilinan received the PSA Executive of the Year Award for their contributions during the FIBA World Cup.
ArenaPlus played an active role in the event as a presenter. The brand provided trophies for each athlete. In addition, the Executive of the Year Award and the President's Award were personally handed by Jasper Vicencio, President at Total Gamezone Xtreme Inc.
After the ceremony, ArenaPlus and PSA has a series of weekly forums to disseminate information to the public about what's happening in the sports world.
Likewise, BingoPlus showed support for Philippine Basketball during the 2023-24 Commissioner's Cup Finals press conference held at Eastwood Richmonde last February 1, 2024.
Magnolia Hotshots and the San Miguel Beermen shared the stage and answered media questions along with the team coaches. BingoPlus also got to interview some key figures during the conference.
"BingoPlus- malaking bagay sa PBA," said Willie Marcial, PBA Commissioner. "Number one, sila ang binibigay ng entertainment samin; two, pati yung mga enhancement para sa mga fans. Nakikita lang ngayon ang PBA dahil sa BingoPlus."
Despite being on opposing teams, June Mar Fajardo- the 7-time PBA MVP of the San Miguel Beermen; and Calvin Abueva- an 8-time PBA All-Star from Magnolia Hotshots- shared similar sentiments about this season. Fajardo and Abueva planned to maintain momentum in their plays and snag the championsip, both emphasizing the importance of giving it their all in the final game.
"Plan namin for the finals is more (play) execution and mental (fortitude)," said Abueva. "San Miguel is strong, meron silang MVP. They're champions."
BingoPlus touched upon Fajardo's role as a consistent MVP, asking about his plans for the finals. "Daming pwede maging MVP sa team namin. Si CJ Perez, siya yung contender para sa best player of the conference, sana makuha nya yun MVP title," said Fajardo.
