Massive Philippine flag ready for Palaro opening
The flag was made by weavers from Piddig, Ilocos Norte, who were trained by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). It will be featured in the opening ceremony at the Ferdinand Marcos Stadium.
The giant flag, sewn by hand, took several weeks to finish due to its size and the detailed stitching required. The entire process took place inside a covered court to ensure the flag's design was accurate and proportionate.
The weavers hope their work will showcase not only their skill but also their pride in contributing to a national event that celebrates youth, sports, and unity.

Alas Pilipinas crushes Australia for back-to-back VTV Cup wins
Alas Pilipinas Women showed all its cards to deliver a commanding 25-13, 25-15, 25-20 win against Australia and remain hot in the 2025 VTV Cup on Tuesday in Vietnam. The Filipinas have now captured their second straight win after opening their campaign with a gallant three-set loss to powerhouse Vietnam the other day. National team rookie Alleiah Malaluan made some big points in the third set, going for the kill from the open side to give the Philippines a 12-8 lead before Dell Palomata unleashed an ace to make it a 14-10 advantage. Malaluan then went for a soft touch on the opposite side while team captain Jia De Guzman got help from the net on her easy return that allowed Alas to secure a 16-11 cushion. The opposing side tried to mount a rally with a 3-1 run but substitute setter Tia Andaya showed just how deep the Philippine bench is, rejecting an Australia attack before setting up Vanie Gandler for the back row hammer, 22-15. Malaluan's cross court kill sent Alas to match point before she connived with her La Salle teammate Amie Provido in clinching the game-winning block. Alas now heads to the quarterfinals with its next foe yet to be determined. —JMB, GMA Integrated News
