Ginebra and TNT go face-to-face at the PBA Finals press conference
As the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup Finals draw near, commissioner Willie Marcial made sure to recognize one of the league’s most valued partners both on and off the court.
Marcial on Monday affirmed the importance of the PBA’s enduring partnership with ArenaPlus just days before what is expected to be an epic best-of-seven series between Barangay Ginebra and TNT Tropang 5G.

“This is big for us, not just for the Finals. ArenaPlus supports the PBA all throughout,” Marcial said of the No. 1 PAGCOR-licensed sportsbook in the Philippines.
“I thank them for being there for all our projects, whether through corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects or social media presence. They are great partners for these kinds of events.”
The DigiPlus-owned brand, the Official Game Partner of the PBA since 2023, plays a key role in helping the league engage fans and bring the excitement to a wider audience.
For Marcial, the partnership goes beyond a typical business arrangement.

“This partnership is not just about being clients or about the money. Our togetherness has been unlike any other ever since, whether during meetings or lunches. This partnership has been like no other,” he said.
Marcial also praised ArenaPlus for extending its impact beyond arenas, where real change matters.
“To ArenaPlus and its fans, thank you for still being with us here in the PBA. In supporting projects outside sports through CSR initiatives, that’s a big help to our country,” Marcial said.
“I hope ArenaPlus continues the good work they have done for us all.”
