NU Bulldogs of the Philippines emerged as Grand Champions at the OPPO Hyper Legend Cup x MLBB Campus Series, taking home a share of the USD 100,000 prize pool following a high-pressure Grand Finals win over Malaysia’s KPTM x Velocity. 

Up against eight of Southeast Asia’s strongest collegiate teams, the Bulldogs  secured their victory through disciplined structure and patient gameplay, choosing to maintain map control and wait for the right openings rather than forcing plays. While early matches tested their pacing, the squad's composure carried them into the Grand Finals, where they took full control by dictating the tempo with sharper team fights and more decisive objective takes. Their victory further reinforces Philippines continued rise and growing dominance in the MLBB competitive scene.

Satellite data shows NO2 concentration in Metro Manila down to pre-fire levels for two consecutive days

The Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) has done daily monitoring of satellite data since the Navotas landfill fire reportedly broke out on 10 April 2026. Coinciding with reports on Tuesday (28 April) that significant progress has been made in suppressing the fire, satellite data shows that nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentration in Metro Manila has fallen below 6 April (pre-fire) levels for two consecutive days. Nitrogen dioxide is a pollutant produced from burning and is a component of smoke, and lower NO2 concentrations indicate a reduction in the volume of smoke emitted from the landfill fire. Observations are consistent with measurements on the ground by EMB NCR and Central Luzon that particulate matter or PM over Metro Manila has improved on Tuesday (28 April) and Wednesday (29 April). PhilSA will continue monitoring of NO2 to assist in quantifying the impact of ground interventions. Please follow local and national health agencies for the latest advisories.
