The stage is set for the highly anticipated grand finals of the realme Mobile Legends Cup (RMC) Season 9 this coming June 7, 2025, where APBREN and Uncle Drew Gamerpact go head-to-head in an epic battle to win the coveted title of Grand Champion.

With pride, glory, and massive prizes on the line, this final showdown promises intense action

that no Mobile Legends fan should miss, so the Squad should head over to SM North EDSA -

The Annex to witness the action live.

After weeks of fierce competition, these two squads have risen to the top through skill, teamwork, and dedication. Now, they stand just one match away from etching their names in RMC history.

The teams are fired up and ready to prove themselves on the big stage. In terms of preparation, both said they are training extensively.

"We’re strengthening our hero pool. Flexibility and adaptability are our main focus heading into

the Grand Finals," APBREN said.

"Our main priority is to broaden our hero pool and polish our chemistry and communication as a

team," Uncle Drew Gamerpact shared. They added that they feel excited and pumped to go against APBREN, a well-known team in the MLBB scene.

"This is a rare opportunity for us to compete against an MPL team so we're very excited," Uncle

Drew Gamerpact added.

For APBREN, coming into the RMC Season 9 Grand Finals is a growth journey for the team.

"Since we failed to enter the MPL PH S15 Playoffs, it feels surreal to be playing in the Grand

Finals of RMC S9. This journey has been about growth and redemption, and now we’re here

with a chance to regain our confidence and prove ourselves," they said.

This season’s grand finals feature a prize pool worth over P1 million in cash and P600,000

worth of products, making it one of the country's most exciting amateur MLBB tournaments.

The Grand Champion will take home P600,000 in cash and five brand-new realme GT 7 Series,

while the first runner-up will earn P250,000 and five realme 14 Pro+ 5G of their own.

The Grand Finals wouldn’t be complete without a special showmatch, so catch Esports icons

Veenus and Wise go head-to-head in a heart-stopping game to amp up the energy. Plus, don’t

Quit Smoking, Start Living: A Healthier You Begins Today

 We all know the age-old truth: smoking is bad for your health. But knowing is different from taking action, especially when it comes to breaking free from this habit.

Held every June, the National No Smoking Month reminds us of the significant health risks of smoking and igniting a powerful shift to educate and support people to lead a smoke-free life. 

While quitting smoking can feel like a mountain climb, each trek begins with a single, intentional step. Here are some simple, actionable tips that will help you kick the habit and welcome choices that are better for your health and body:

Ignite Your Intention: Change begins with a conviction. Take a moment to reflect and visualize a healthier and happier version of yourself. Set your mind: acknowledge the challenge and think of the rewards that await. This mental preparation is your foundation for sustainable progress.

Cultivate Your Circle of Support: This journey is a team effort. Join support groups to share experiences, learn coping strategies, and celebrate small victories together. Consult with your doctor about potential medications or therapies that can help manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms. 

Build Your Strength: Quitting isn't just about curbing nicotine cravings; it requires both physical and mental focus. Take your mind off smoking by diving into physical activities you enjoy, such as running, brisk walking, or simply doing chores. Keep busy, practice meditation, explore new hobbies, and discover healthy ways to divert your attention when cravings and triggers strike. 

Nourish Your Body from Within: Think of it as rebuilding your body. Sticking to a balanced diet is key to a healthier you. Make sure there is a vibrant array of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and take vitamins or supplements that can provide an extra boost.

Here's a secret weapon for your journey to holistic wellness: Virgin Coconut Oil. Studies suggest that VCO can be beneficial in improving overall health to help combat the effects of smoking in your body. If you don’t like the taste of liquid VCO, then here’s a convenient solution for you: Growrich Virgin Coconut Oil Capsules.

Growrich is the first FDA-approved VCO in hard gel capsule form in the Philippines since June 2005. It is chemical-free and made from fresh coconut meat extracted using a patented, natural process. Each capsule is pharmaceutical-grade safe and made of quality, making it a reliable addition to your wellness routine.

Every step you take towards a smoke-free life builds strength, resilience, and a brighter future. Stay disciplined, visualize your healthiest self, and embrace the responsibility you have to your well-being.

Growrich Virgin Coconut Oil Capsules are available at Mercury Drug and other leading drugstores nationwide. Buy online on TikTok, Shopee, and directly through their website at growrichvco.com.
