Filipinos take great pride with the success of our athletes on the international stage. They become news headlines, become trending topics on social
media, and are greeted with prizes and incentives when they come home.
Numerous officials have taken note of Eala’s performance. The First Couple used their social media platforms to show their support for the tennis player. “Tuloy ang laban, Alex! …That alone is already a victory for our country and for the millions of Filipinos who stand proudly behind you. You’ve made us all proud! Keep going, your best is yet to come,” said President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.
For her part, former Senator and incoming Party-list Rep. Leila de Lima saw “more than just tennis; I witnessed a young woman standing her ground with everything she had. At just 20 years old, she has already mastered the quiet art of rising after every stumble, of giving her all to a fight no matter how heavy the odds.”
She has been fortunate to have the complete backing – financial support included – of her family as she trained from a young age to be a tennis star.
