Witness the Grand Finals of the realme Mobile Legends Cup Season 9, happening on June 7 at SM North EDSA The Annex


The stage is set for the highly anticipated grand finals of the realme Mobile Legends Cup (RMC) Season 9 this coming June 7, 2025, where APBREN and Uncle Drew Gamerpact go head-to-head in an epic battle to win the coveted title of Grand Champion. 

With pride, glory, and massive prizes on the line, this final showdown promises intense action that no Mobile Legends fan should miss, so the Squad should head over to SM North EDSA - The Annex to witness the action live.

After weeks of fierce competition, these two squads have risen to the top through skill, teamwork, and dedication. Now, they stand just one match away from etching their names in RMC history.

The teams are fired up and ready to prove themselves on the big stage. In terms of preparation, both said they are training extensively. 

"We’re strengthening our hero pool. Flexibility and adaptability are our main focus heading into the Grand Finals," APBREN said.

"Our main priority is to broaden our hero pool and polish our chemistry and communication as a team," Uncle Drew Gamerpact shared. They added that they feel excited and pumped to go against APBREN, a well-known team in the MLBB scene. 

"This is a rare opportunity for us to compete against an MPL team so we're very excited," Uncle Drew Gamerpact added.

For APBREN, coming into the RMC Season 9 Grand Finals is a growth journey for the team. "Since we failed to enter the MPL PH S15 Playoffs, it feels surreal to be playing in the Grand Finals of RMC S9. This journey has been about growth and redemption, and now we’re here with a chance to regain our confidence and prove ourselves," they said. 

This season’s grand finals feature a prize pool worth over P1 million in cash and P600,000 worth of products, making it one of the country's most exciting amateur MLBB tournaments.

The Grand Champion will take home P600,000 in cash and five brand-new realme GT 7 Series, while the first runner-up will earn P250,000 and five realme 14 Pro+ 5G of their own.

The Grand Finals wouldn’t be complete without a special showmatch, so catch Esports icons Veenus and Wise go head-to-head in a heart-stopping game to amp up the energy. Plus, don’t miss the live performances by rapper SUPAFLY and rising pop group KAIA to serenade and electrify the crowd.

The Squad better mark their calendars on June 7, 1pm at SM North EDSA The Annex to witness history unfold at the RMC Season 9 Grand Finals. For more updates and detailed announcements about realme and RMC, visit realme’s official website and follow its Facebook page.


HONOR and PHINMA Foundation Empower Future Educators with Tablet Donation


HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng, with the PHINMA Foundation’s Executive Director Ron Reyes alongside with the 25 HONOR Pad X9a beneficiaries from different schools.  
 

 

Global technology brand HONOR Philippines, in partnership with the PHINMA Foundation, launched its CSR initiative “Pad Your Way to the Future” through the formal donation of 25 HONOR Pad X9a tablets to deserving student scholars. The event was held at the Philippine Normal University – Manila, reaffirming the shared commitment of both organizations to transform lives through education and technology.  

 

 


“This partnership with the PHINMA Foundation is more than just a formal agreement—it’s a heartfelt commitment to shaping a better future through education. We believe in the power of technology to transform lives, especially when placed in the hands of passionate learners and educators. Through this collaboration, we hope to open new doors—doors to learning, to growth, and to greater opportunities.” Said Stephen Cheng, Vice President of HONOR Philippines.

 

 


 

Students overjoyed as they received their HONOR Pad X9a 

 


As part of the event, 25 students supported by PHINMA Foundation through its scholarship programs received their own HONOR Pad X9a tablets, each tailored for modern academic needs with its AI-powered learning features, expansive display, and durable performance.  

 

Ron Ranier Reyes, Executive Director of PHINMA Foundation, highlighted the impact of the tablets on the scholars' learning experience in his message.  

 

 

 

“Many of our scholars face daily struggles—not just academically, but even in accessing the tools they need to learn. Some borrow phones or wait for their turn at public computers. This donation from HONOR could not have come at a better time. With these tablets, students will now have access to digital tools that will enhance their education, their connectivity, and ultimately, their future.” Reyes said. 

 

Among the beneficiaries was Josua Romero, a student from Philippine Normal University, who gave a moving speech that captured the emotional weight of the initiative: 

 


 

“I am truly beyond grateful, lalo na po ngayon na kailangan ko ng bagong device para sa aking pag-aaral,” shared Romero. “My old laptop was already failing me. Tasks took longer, deadlines were harder to meet. This tablet isn’t just a device—it’s hope. Hope that I can study more effectively, stay organized, and access new opportunities that were once out of reach.”  

 

He went on to define what HONOR means to him: 

 

H – Help in Learning: “It will make my learning easier and more dynamic.” 

O – Organization of Tasks: “Now I can manage my schedules and assignments more efficiently.” 

N – New Opportunities: “This device will allow me to connect, explore, and collaborate.” 

O – On-the-Go Studying: “Learning can happen anytime, anywhere.” 

R – Resource for Growth: “It’s a valuable companion in my academic and personal journey.” 

 

“This tablet will be my study companion,” Romero concluded. “To those who made this possible—thank you for believing in us and giving us the means to pursue our dreams. This is more than just a gadget—it’s a bridge to a better future.”  

 

The event also included a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing between HONOR Philippines and PHINMA Foundation, cementing the long-term partnership for future educational initiatives. As part of the program, HONOR also hosted an interactive product presentation of the Pad X9a, student activities, and a networking lunch.  

 

The HONOR Pad X9a features an immersive display, long-lasting battery life, and enhanced AI capabilities designed to support today’s tech-savvy learners. With this CSR effort, HONOR continues to expand its mission of empowering students and ensuring “no learner is left behind.”
