Hey, poker playas!

It has been an exciting week last week and things will only get better. The Philippines is pushing and moving forward. It needs to make up for the lost time. 

there is a lot to write today for our recap. so we are doing a quick recap.

Here is everything you might have missed.

Metro Manila at alert level 2

businesses such as cinemas, theaters, theme parks, swimming pools, libraries, museums, and other tourist attractions, as well as venues for social gatherings like weddings, parties, and debuts were allowed for the first time in over a year.

Like the previous alert level, Alert Level 2 means there are no age-based mobility restrictions in the metro. Alert Level 2 also allows an increased capacity for businesses and activities such as restaurant dine-in, beauty salons and the like, and religious activities, among other things.

According to the IATF, intrazonal and interzonal movement is allowed under Alert Level 2. Local government units may also impose further restrictions as long as they are not stricter than higher alert levels. This is also subject to the evaluation of their respective regional IATFs (RIATFs).

Although it does leave a lot of questions about whether such a strategy could work. It is still a commendable move by Metrocard club to try to bring back live poker tournaments in Manila.

We hope players support such more so that bigger live tournaments could come back to Metro Manila.

Who would be the first poker champion after the pandemic?
