Blading Beyond Nostalgia: Tournament for a Cause

SHX team at GT (grand tournament) with Commish from PBBL the group which inspired beyblade in country.

The roar of spinning tops and the collective gasp of spectators confirm that competitive Beyblade is not merely a nostalgic pastime in the Philippines. From the crude Filipino toy called Trumpo to the modern Beyblade Burst series, beyblading has attracted sporting communities spanning casual Blader meetups in local neighborhoods to sanctioned, high-stakes tournaments. This growth is marked by a deep commitment to the sport’s rules and mechanics, drawing enthusiasts from diverse geographic communities, including dedicated factions in provinces outside of Metro Manila.

Former child actress, Star Villareal, with her husband Dash Chua have joined this community through the SHX team sharing the joy with other players over this childhood game. The team joined other beyblade communities for a cause hosted by Cabalen Reapers at Retro Seoul Roller Skates Angeles City last September 28, 2025.

“With the incredible support of the blader community over the past few months, we've accumulated a large fund from all our previous tournaments. As a way of giving thanks and giving back, we're hosting a special Tournament for a Cause with a huge prize pool!” the group said.

“All accumulated funds from this tournament will be given to the beneficiary: a 5-year-old strong little girl residing in Purok 4, San Juan, City of San Fernando, Pampanga named Pia Franchesca M. Quizon who is bravely fighting her battle with leukemia.”

Indeed, these communities prioritize fair play, technical knowledge of parts and weight distribution, and the camaraderie unique to the hobby, cementing Beyblade as a legitimate, strategy-intensive competitive sport. But most importantly, they have the heart to give back to communities and people who needed help the most.

Congratulations, Cabalen Reapers, the SHX team, and all the bey bladers for a job well-done!

SHX's Emil Paulo Mallorca emerged as top 2 winner. 

Other winners: Jonard, 2nd runner-up and John-John (below), top 8 finalist
