HOTEL101 Group, the hospitality arm of DoubleDragon Corporation, and the Philippine Esports Organization (PESO), the national governing body for esports in the Philippines, sealed its partnership today to support the Philippine esports industry and Filipino esports national athletes.
“We are happy to launch this groundbreaking partnership with Esports in the Philippines, represented by PESO and its officials, in anticipation of the upcoming major esports events and activities hosted by the Philippines this year,” says Hotel101 Group General Manager Gel Gomez.
“Furthermore, we are equally thrilled that Hotel101 – Manila is now the official hotel partner to be endorsed by PESO to all its member organizations and all its esports activities this year,” GM Gomez adds.
Hotel101 Group GM Gel Gomez and PESO Executive Director signed a partnership agreement at Hotel101 – Manila, which was accentuated with a turnover of a commemorative jacket given to both PESO and Hotel101 executives.
“We are excited and thankful for Hotel101’s commitment to supporting the growth of Philippine esports as a whole by becoming PESO’s key partner in our various events and initiatives aimed to further improve and develop the state of competition in the country,” shares PESO Executive Director Marlon Marcelo.
This partnership is a kickoff of what Hotel101 has planned for the esports industry, with a roadmap that would benefit both our Filipino esports athletes and the industry in general.
“We also thank them for hosting team SIBOL, the Philippine National Esports Team, before we fly out and represent the country in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia this May,” Marcelo adds.
“With the Filipino’s Bayanihan spirit, supporting these proud Filipino athletes in any way we can, we also take a stake in the next generation, and build a legacy, as what we also want to do with our brand,” GM Gomez closed.
PESO is the official National Sports Association (NSA) for Esports in the Philippines, recognized by both the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) and the International Esports Federations – Asian Esports Federation (AESF) and International Esports Federation (IESF)
“PESO has a lot of big plans in lifting the country’s already excellent esports scene to new stellar heights including bringing the best esports events into the country, and it is incredible having partners such as Hotel101 to bring that vision into reality,” he adds.
