yah some courts are full and most are not. i wonder how come some courts are closing down:(

Maybe too many courts are up in one go and no new players playing?

madayaw!!!

i hope it would not be post poned...because there are many badminton players here in the Philippines.

Latest update is that the organisers is putting up a package plans for the sponsors. Yonex might be the main sponsors again. The event might push thru.. I say MIGHT. But not confirm unless the deal is good.

That's great ebl! Badminton is indeed very much alive here in the Philippines! I hope the Philippine Open will push thru this year. As we have seen in the television coverage last year, the venue for the 2007 Philippine Open was jampacked with Filipino badminton fans! Mabuhay! madayaw!!!
greetings in peace!!!

I'm looking forward to this. I haven't really seen a live match from the pros except for the exhibition game by piencenaves (can't remember the correct spelling) and another philippine team player. My regular badminton buddies already agreed to watch in case this pushes through, hopefully.

Its cancel this year due to lack of sponsors.

so it has been canceled!:(

ants - pls reconfirm, shall be in manila from the 5th onwards, wud have been nice to see the tournament....

Philippine Open, Huh? Ummm.. How do we join that tournament and is there an age limit? I wish it doesn't get postponed. Cuz I am going to Philippines this June.

Is a pity that a series has to be cancel?

cant it be organize in a smaller scale 1st thus less sponsorship are required?
