Quezon City, Philippines – The sharp crack of shuttlecocks meeting rackets, fast-paced rallies, and enthusiastic cheers echoed throughout the courts of Celebrity Sports Club as Magsalin Law held its 2^nd quarterly sports initiative on the badminton court. The event brought employees together for a day of friendly competition, teamwork, and camaraderie, strengthening connections both on and off the court.

On 17 July 2026, the Firm exchanged their usual office and court routines for an action-packed tournament featuring 16 badminton pairings. Throughout the matches, players displayed determination, teamwork, and a competitive spirit, while colleagues on the sidelines fueled the games with applause, words of encouragement, and friendly banters that kept the atmosphere lively from the opening serve to the championship match.

After a series of competitive matches, the pairing of Manny Herrera and Joy Castillo-Maling claimed the championship title through their unyielding composure, exceptional teamwork and consistent performance. Finishing as first runners-up were Atty. Dennis Montemayor and Crisanto Belleza, while Aldous Echaluce and Johanna Grande secured third place.

For the second consecutive tournament, Manny Herrera was recognized as the Most Valuable Player, further highlighting his consistent excellence and unmatched performance on the court.

More than determining champions, the badminton tournament underscored Magsalin Law’s continuing commitment to cultivating a workplace that values both professional excellence and employee well-being. In a profession where precision, commitment, and long hours are part of everyday life, opportunities to step away from the desk and engage in recreational activities – through the Firm’s quarterly sports initiatives – provide a meaningful way to recharge, strengthen relationships, and foster collaboration beyond the workplace. These quarterly sports events continue to reinforce the Firm’s belief that the greatest victories are built not only through excellence at work, but also through unity beyond it.
