While Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) began in unregulated environments like fight clubs, organizations, particularly in the West, have transformed it into a mainstream sport with standardized rules and equipment. This evolution has elevated MMA beyond its early image.
Beyond the entertainment value, MMA has evolved into something far more meaningful, serving as a platform to not only develop exceptional athletes but also give back to communities in impactful ways.
Marking a decade of commitment to promoting the sport while fostering social responsibility, University of the Philippines Beta Sigma Fraternity-Los BaƱos Chapter is set to hold the 10th edition of the “Battle Royale X: Maxima -#FightForSocialGood” amateur MMA event on Feb. 16, 2024 with its social good partners, including the SM Foundation.
Building upon MMA, the Battle Royale aims to provide a platform for aspiring and up-and-coming athletes to showcase their skills for a cause.
The proceeds of the event will be allocated to community service initiatives under the āOperation Big Brotherā program, which has been serving vulnerable communities for five decades.
The event is made possible through the social good collaboration of SM Foundation, and Sigma Properties with Toyota Calamba and Entom Pest Control.
Started in 1927, the Philippines Graphic is the longest-running printed magazine of national circulation that provides relevant news and features and promotes Philippine literature.
