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.

Quentin Millora-Brown recognized as a local by FIBA, SBP confirms
It's official: Quentin Millora-Brown is classified as a local by FIBA. The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) confirmed the development on Friday. "We're pleased with the update from FIBA because a player of his size and skill can make a positive impact for Gilas Pilipinas Men," SBP president Al Panlilio said in a statement. With this development, Millora-Brown can now be included in the lineup of locals for the Philippine national team. Earlier, national team head coach Tim Cone said Millora-Brown's addition would be exciting if his status were confirmed. Millora-Brown's name had been floated as a possible addition to the national team even before the Philippines' stint in the FIBA Asia Cup. He also played for the Macau Black Bears in a tune-up game against Gilas Pilipinas ahead of the tournament. Born in the United States, the 6-foot-10 Millora-Brown is the grandson of a Filipino doctor. In 2024, he helped lead the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons to the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball title. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
