These Filipino women are kicking up a storm in the male-dominated esports industry. Here's how they do it.

Every year, the world celebrates International Women's Month by commemorating females' social, political, and economic achievements. This year's theme: "We make change work for women," resonates with the call for gender balance in leadership and preparing women to reach their ambitions. 

Many notable Filipino women have pushed the boundaries in their chosen careers from different industries such as economics, politics, education, and entertainment. For one, Weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz became the first-ever athlete representing the Philippines to win a gold medal in the Olympics. 

However, in esports, women continue to face prejudice and struggle to make it to the forefront. Going by the numbers, the industry is widely dominated by male users. Wide-scale competitions are mostly organized for male gamers, and only a few are part of the professional scene.

"Morbius" Expands Sony's Universe of Marvel Characters

One of the most compelling and conflicted characters in Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters comes to the big screen in the action-thriller Morbius as Oscar® winner Jared Leto transforms into the enigmatic antihero Michael Morbius.

Watch the film’s Universe Vignette at https://youtu.be/T1caCRuCCnc

Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. While at first it seems to be a radical success, a darkness inside him is unleashed. Will good override evil – or will Morbius succumb to his mysterious new urges?

“Morbius is searching for goodness – the cure for a disease. He’s going to find it, disregarding the cost on himself or on society,” says director Daniel Espinosa. “And in his search for goodness, he transforms into something he detests. He has to accept the ugliness he has within him, and that there’s something beautiful about it. It will be his strength, what makes him unique.”

On Saturday, RSG and Nexplay EVOS will grapple with one another to raise their positions in the standing. For RSG's Dexter "Exort" Martinez, their battle is a personal revenge after having been kicked before in the lineup in favor of Jeniel "YellyHaze" Bata-anon.
