Philippine government to give esports players athletic licenses

Professional players from TNC and Execration were both invited to visit the Games and Amusement board, the Phillipines Governmental bureau that oversees regulation of professional sports in the country. Undoubtedly this meeting was intricately related to the way the players have been facing VISA issues from the country. “Hopefully, this will hasten the process and remove the stress and uncertainty of visa applications,” Julius Mariano, Twitch’s partnerships head in the country, said. Mariano was one of a key group of people who brokered the meeting between the GAB and the players.
