On August 9 to 10, TECNO Philippines turned SM Fairview into a gamer’s haven during the POVA Gaming Fiesta. The highlight of the event was the launch of the POVA 7 Ultra 5G, attracting over 5,000 Filipino gamers eager to try its advanced features. The venue was transformed into a life-size PUBG Mobile battleground, allowing visitors to experience the device’s smooth 120FPS gameplay and unique light-strip design.

Philippines’ First Triple-Crown Esports Gaming Phone

The POVA 7 Ultra 5G became the first device in the country to earn official recognition from three major esports organizations. It is now the Official Device for the PUBG Mobile Challenger Leagues SEA 2025, the Exclusive Gaming Partner of the Philippine National Esports Team SIBOL, and the Official Gaming Phone for the upcoming Honor of Kings Philippine Kings League.

SIBOL Team Manager Jeff Victoriano shared, “When our players defend PH glory, they’ll do it with POVA’s 120FPS precision.” The announcement came with a live demonstration showing the phone’s ability to maintain consistent performance during professional-level matches.

Partnership with DITO for a Lag-Free Gaming Experience

TECNO teamed up with DITO, the country’s fastest-growing mobile network, to create the “TECNO x DITO x PUBG Mobile Prepaid Gaming SIM.” The partnership aims to remove data limitations for gamers by offering unlimited PUBG Mobile access through select DITO Level Up promos. Recognized by Opensignal for its speed, DITO ensures reduced lag and fast loading times, making the POVA 7 Ultra 5G bundle even more appealing.

PPOP group ALAMAT joined the event with a surprise performance to announce the release of the special SIM. This exclusive offer includes the POVA 7 Ultra 5G and the DITO Prepaid Gaming SIM, combining powerful hardware with a network built for competitive play.

Myrtle Sarrosa Connects Gaming and Cosplay Communities

TECNO renewed actress, gamer, and cosplay star Myrtle Sarrosa as POVA Chief Gaming Officer. She appeared at the event dressed as the newest PUBG Mobile skin, Spectral Byte, complete with light-strip accents on her costume.

“POVA 7 Ultra 5G isn’t just a tool, it’s your battle jewelry,” Myrtle said as she demonstrated the device’s visual effects and performance. Her presence underscored the phone’s appeal to both competitive gamers and fans of gaming culture.
