BARMM athletes prepare for Palarong Pambansa as Malaysia dominates Sepak Takraw, while safety concerns arise from a violent incident.

The Palarong Pambansa 2025 in Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, is set to showcase the talents of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) as they send nearly 300 athletes to compete in Sepak Takraw and other sports. With the backing of Milo, a major sports supporter, these athletes are receiving essential training and resources, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and regional talent development in the sport.

In a thrilling display of skill, the Malaysian Sepak Takraw team recently triumphed over Thailand, clinching a decisive 2-0 victory in the Regu final at the ASTAF Sepak Takraw event. This victory underscores Malaysia`s growing dominance in the sport, adding to the excitement surrounding Sepak Takraw in Southeast Asia.

However, the atmosphere surrounding the sport is not without its challenges. A violent incident in Southern Thailand, where gunmen opened fire near a Sepak Takraw event linked to an anti-drug program, has raised concerns about safety for players and spectators alike. This shocking event, which resulted in injuries and panic, is currently under investigation by authorities.

Meanwhile, a video showcasing Sepak Takraw highlights from Indonesia reflects the ongoing interest and engagement in this dynamic sport across the region, illustrating both the competitive spirit and community involvement that define Sepak Takraw in Southeast Asia.
