Sports Bytes Philippines

Sports Bytes Philippines is a digital online transform established in October 2020. It was founded by Brian Joseph Yalung, a local sports writer and journalist from the Philippines who worked for the Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation from 2010 to 2019. He now contributes sports stories to ABS-CBN.

Sports Bytes Philippines started out as a project to give sporting bodies and athletes a new kind of avenue to share their stories and updates. With most grounded due to the effects of COVID-19, it was the perfect outlet seen to keep sports fans updates on how their favorite athletes are doing. The online show was not limited to basketball. In fact, the first show was about the Philippine's own sport called Arnis.

From there, everything just fell into place through the efforts of Mr. Yalung and his friends. Among the first people who appeared next to him include Ervin James Aawitin, Anna Cruz, Rica Aquino, Kara Malonga, Vincent Juico and Andy Fiel. The Sports Bytes Philippines grew from there with the likes of Mike Perez, Chris King Dela Cruz, CJ Hirro, Ernest Hernandez, Ivan Saldajeno, Henry Liao, Alexine Sy and Ernest Hernandez appearing when they are available.

Aside from online Zoomcasts, Sports Bytes Philippines also put up its own website for readers. Aside from Brian Yalung, regular writers there include Henry Liao, Dennis Eroa, Vince Juico, Andy Fiel and Levi Verora. The website contains a mix of uniquely written stories as well as some updates from the sporting world.
