In a landmark moment for Philippine sports, the historic FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City was officially unveiled as the PlayTime FilOil Centre. This rebranding marks a renewed commitment to uplifting Filipino athletes and strengthening the nation’s sports culture through strategic private sector collaboration.
The partnership between FilOil and PlayTime—one of the country’s leading online entertainment platforms—is spearheaded by PlayTime CARES, the company’s social responsibility arm that bridges entertainment, education, and athleticism for Filipino youth and communities.
“Through our social responsibility arm PlayTime CARES, this partnership with FilOil is an affirmation of our deep commitment to elevating the next generation of Filipino athletes—providing them with opportunities, resources, and a venue to grow their talents and pursue their dreams,” said Krizia Cortez, Director of Public Relations at PlayTime. “We believe that sports is a platform for unity and is about community. This initiative is a testament to our commitment to doing good, to be a partner in nation-building, and in uplifting the Filipino talent to a whole new playing field.”

Elevating sports as a vehicle for transformation
The PlayTime FilOil Centre serves as a development space where future sports legends are discovered, communities are strengthened, and youth are mentored in values of perseverance, teamwork, and excellence. The centre will continue hosting the PlayTime CARES FilOil EcoOil Preseason Cup, featuring the country’s top collegiate basketball teams, while exploring volleyball and other community programs.
“We understand the sensitivities and apprehension with regards to our industry,” Cortez continued. “That’s why we are drawing a very clear line between our operations and our advocacy for public good. Through PlayTime CARES, we are demonstrating that we can be part of the solution—championing responsible entertainment while being involved and supporting real-world initiatives for change that is sustainable and transformative.”
A new legacy begins
This partnership represents the vital role of private sector collaboration in driving systemic change and national progress. The PlayTime FilOil Centre now stands as a symbol of transformation and promise, proving that sustainable business growth and civic accountability are deeply interconnected when corporations embrace their role in community development.
