Play Like a PRO: OhMyV33nus on being an LGBTQ+ pro player in esport
More recently, homegrown athletes started to dominate their respective esports leagues. Among such athletes is top MLBB player Jonmar “OhMyV33nus” Villaluna. Playing for Blacklist International, OhMyV33nus went against all odds to become one of the most successful Filipino esports players today.
Like most esports athletes, OhMyV33nus’ love for the sport started when she was still a kid. Growing up on PC games, with a particular interest in MMORPG and MOBA, OhMyV33nus decided early to become a part of the local esports community.
“Since I was a child, my dream has always been as simple as playing for a team,” OhMyV33nus shared. “Before, I just used to watch a lot of League of Legends international tournaments. Watching their struggles and winning moments motivated me to become who I am today and inspired me long before esports became popular in the Philippines,” she added.
With her own share of struggles and heartbreaks, OhMyV33nus admits that it has not been an easy journey. She was a product of a decade of wins and losses — and after winning the MLBB M3 World Championships as the mid laner of her team, OhMyV33nus is now an international esports champion. With this success, OhMyV33nus serves as an inspiration for a new generation of Filipino gamers — particularly those who are members of the LGBTQ+ community.
To all aspiring LGBTQ+ esports players, OhMyV33nus shares this piece of advice, “Becoming a professional esports athlete requires intense physical and mental preparations and this sport transcends all those defining factors that we normally see in other sports — height, race, social status, and sexuality is irrelevant in this field. Don’t let anyone look down on you just because of your gender or sexuality.”

Astra Guild Ventures - Improving Lives One Scholar at a Time
Ron Kevin, 28 years old, also known as Reachie, is an
AGV scholar, and is part of AGV’s administration team. He is a professional by
all means, working in the BPO industry as a customer service representative.
AGV was able to offer him opportunities for alternative ways to earn, and one
of the ways he uses his free time is to earn from playing.
Starting in AGV
When asked about how he started being a part of AGV, Reachie mentions that he was part of a different guild, where he hosts Q and As. He says that a friend introduced him to AGV.
“Yung iba kong friends from other guilds, nasa AGV na rin. Nung lumipat ako, I saw a lot of opportunities where I can apply yung mga natutunan ko from other guilds.” Reachie shared.
Reachie even went on to share how he started becoming a scholar in the guild.
“Nag-apply ako as scholar sa AGV. May pinagawa silang task tapos nung ntatapos ko yung task, in one week, binigyan na ako ng scholarship.” he added.
Being Part of AGV
Reachie also shared how being part of the gaming guild, AGV, improved his overall prosperity.
“During the time I was working,
enough yung salary ko to cover my
daily needs—my salary goes to my bills and savings. When I joined AGV, nagkaroon
na ako ng extra para sa mga
unexpected bills or paminsan, extra money for the things I want to buy kahit
hindi naman need.” he said.
Reachie spends an average of 6 hours a day, at different times of the day, playing 3 different Play-to-Earn games such as Axie Infinity and Plants vs Undead.
“The reason you are playing is to use your free time to do something productive—in this case, I earn while I play during my free time.I can do this full time if I invest my time playing Axie Infinity as well as other games.” Reachie shared.
Reachie even tells a story wherein his parents would scold him, saying “Ano bang napapala mo sa kakalaro ng computer?” Now, he helps members of his family apply for gaming scholarships to be able to play and earn.
Going Beyond AGV
Prior to the pandemic, Reachie worked at a local restaurant as a manager for 2 years, and even did the same job abroad for another 2 years. When asked about what he will do with what he saves up from his earnings, he answers “I’m planning to invest [on cryptocurrency] tokens and then from that, I plan to have my own restaurant serving Filipino dishes. Sakin kasi, food is life.”
More importantly for Reachie, his ultimate goal is financial stability. “I’m fine with what I have right now but if there’s other opportunities, I won’t hesitate to grab it.” he said.
AGV is still growing, and Reachie
is just one of the lives it has impacted. The future is bright as AGV expands
to the possibilities in the realm of the Play-to-Earn space. To keep track on

Project on digital game-based reading intervention from UP and La Salle wins top prize at inaugural TCS Sustainathon in the Philippines
First TCS Sustainathon in the Philippines brings together students and stakeholders from the private and public sectors to push for inclusive education
Many challenges and issues came to fore when the country’s education sector embraced distance and flexible learning amid the pandemic. Foremost of these are lack of resources, internet access, and a clear and stable line of communication between teachers and students. Through TCS Sustainathon Philippines 2021, TCS hopes to encourage and empower the Filipino youth in using technology to explore solutions for these problems, which their generation experiences first-hand, and collaborate with local stakeholders such as businesses and schools.
Students from various parts of the Philippines pitched their proposed solutions for the local theme. Among the submissions, 10 groups successfully made it to the finals.
The technologies developed by the teams involve web and mobile applications, wherein different programs are incorporated to provide convenience and flexibility in education.
TCS Sustainathon Philippines 2021 first place Read-IO Works developed Read-IO. The team comprises of Jose Javier Lasala and Janos Lance Tiberio. Their entry dove into realizing a deep-learning enabled, digital game-based reading intervention centered on phonics and oral reading fluency. The invention gives way to evidence-based instruction as well as game-based assessments that is not only accessible for offline use, but leverages the gadget distribution initiatives of the Department of Education. With Read-IO, it’s all the more possible to improve students’ reading comprehension, spelling, letter-sound knowledge, and all the other indicators of literacy.
SchoNEXT won second place. Prince Loven Abestano, Abe Apao, Esmael Amatonding, and Gwyneth Chiu explored the bounds of technology in their entry, where they seek to create a distraction-free, student-centered virtual environment for studying. Indeed, distance learning has brought in a huge change into how students learn today. As students study from their homes, an effective, self-regulated studying habit and system can go a long way—and this is what SchoNEXT aims to highlight with this virtual studying environment.
Third place went to GOLS: Gamified Online Learning Space delivered by Racquel Moran, Lance Sangcal, and Migs Ganzon. Their entry is about gamifying students’ online learning space which helps in initiating active thinking and peer-to-peer learning through interactive games. More than anything, learning is best done with peers where students can not only learn vital knowledge, but develop values of teamwork and leadership.
TCS Sustainathon Philippines 2021 Finals’ third and second placers will take home Php50,000 and Php100,000, respectively. The champion will receive Php150,000 in cash prize. TCS Sustainathon Philippines 2021 was in partnership with the Asian Development Bank, Converge ICT Solutions, Inc., Gokongwei Brothers Foundation, De La Salle-College of St. Benilde, Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philippines, Inc., Edukasyon.ph, UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network – Youth, and ADB Southeast Asia Development Solutions (SEADS).
“TCS Sustainathon Philippines showed us the extensive knowledge and passion of the younger generation to deliver solutions to improve the current situation of our education sector. We, together with our partners, are all impressed with the work that we saw coming from these students and how they utilized technology for the better. We are looking forward to see what their initiatives can achieve and how these can help them and the country,” says TCS Philippines Country Head Shiju Varghese.
The champion and second placer will also compete against the Sustainathon winners from Singapore and Malaysia at the TCS Sustainathon ASEAN finale later this year.February 3, 2022

Earn Scholar for Astra Guild Ventures
WANT TO BE A PLAY TO EARN SCHOLAR FOR ASTRA GUILD VENTURES?
HERE’S HOW
During these trying times, most especially where work is difficult to come by for those whose industries were hit by the pandemic, people from different walks of life tried to find ways to make ends meet from extra income streams. Some may have put up small businesses, while others discovered play-to-earn games, where one, as the name suggests, can earn through playing.
One of these games is called Axie Infinity, and perhaps there were stories heard about some people earning more than minimum wage (in Philippine Pesos) in a day. Stories also went around where some were able to earn a few thousands in a day because they have these so-called scholars!
These things are true, and they are happening. Jumping in and joining the potential growth can be done too, as the industry is just a small sprout soon to grow into a large and resilient tree. And for a game like Axie Infinity, investing by buying a team is possible, but for those who are risk-averse or can’t afford buying a team, being a player for a gaming guild can be a way to tap into the world of play-to-earn games.
Astra Guild Ventures - The Gaming Guild for You
One of these gaming guilds that you can apply in is called Astra Guild Ventures, or AGV. This gaming guild is a strong growing community, and can be found in different platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, and Discord. Being one of the biggest gaming guilds, they boast around 2035 scholars and growing! They also are very transparent to their players by providing an earnings dashboard, as this transparency is easily accessed through the blockchain.
Other than that, AGV is expanding to other play-to-earn games, trying to reach its full potential by giving opportunities to those who want to earn while increasing their revenues and profits. Of course, they get to do that as they are actually one step ahead in the executions of plans in their roadmap. The question is, do you want to be part of this?
How to Be and AGV Player
Being part of the AGV community can put you into a spot of being a player for them, and of course, earning while you play. Hours of playing a day need not to be spent, as these games only take around an hour of two in your day. Potential earnings vary, as some actually earn more than minimum wage in a day.
The first step that an applicant must do is to join the AGV Discord channel. From there, you can check the #get-started channel. Just go to the following link:
https://discord.com/invite/astraguild
For the gist of the journey of becoming a player for AGV, it is a must to be active in their Discord channel. Inviting members to the community to help AGV grow is also another factor in determining an applicant’s dedication for the task ahead. And of course, more of what lies ahead may be found by joining and being part of the AGV community.
Being active in the community can also give perks. Some scholars get awarded because of certain events being held, as instant scholarship is given to winners. Keep an eye out on these things by being active!
And let’s just put it out here. AGV is definitely happy to have you on-board! The guild is looking forward in having you around, as growth is definitely on the horizon, and you are part of it. Are you up for the task?
