MANILA — The Philippines is looking to develop training facilities for esports athletes as the industry continues to expand in the international arena, the head of the Philippine Esports Organization said on Tuesday.The organization is working closely with the Philippine Sports Commission “on how to actually create those esports facility,” said Executive Director Marlon Marcelo.“Nakikita nga natin na nananalo tayo ng medals and one of the challenges ng mga atleta natin is wala pa silang training facility,” he told state television PTV.“Usually, iyong mga training facility nasa mga corporate teams o iyong mga may teams na,” he said.“Sometimes, nagri-rent lang si Philippine Esports Organization. It’s imperative that we actually have this training facility para sa atleta natin, makapag-focus sila para manalo pa ng iba’t ibang medal,” he added.Providing the Philippines’ esports athletes is crucial to ensure that players have stable internet connection for training, Marcelo said.“Of course ang pinakaimportante kasi, kapag magkaroon ka ng training facilities, internet capability, kailangan super bilis ng internet mo,” he said.“So, very specific lang kung anong mga cities iyong puwede naming pagpilian ng facility, if ever itatayo iyon, and initially it’s still in Metro Manila,” he said.The government has also launched a “Unity League” where amateur esports player will compete for a P1-million cash prize.
