MANILA, Philippines — The Cebuana Lhuillier-Philippine slo-pitch softball team overpowered the Saigon Buffalos, 27-1, to top the premier men’s Division A of the 2025 Pangea Cup International tournament in Clark Field, Pampanga.

The Filipinos, who overpowered the Korean Guzzlers, 17-3, in the semifinals, thus completed a magnificent three-peat feat after reigning supreme last year and in 2023 when they beat the Americans in the finals of both editions.

Amateur Softball Association of the Philippines president and Cebuana Lhuillier CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier saluted the team for the feat.
