Lacson: Alex Eala a True Champion for Continuing to Inspire Our Youth

Despite her fourth-round exit at the Wimbledon Championships, Alex Eala remains a true champion for continuing to inspire young Filipinos to dream big beyond their means, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Wednesday.

Lacson said one defeat should not define Eala, whose remarkable Wimbledon campaign where she dethroned Iga Swiatek served as a much-needed detoxifier for the nation and a unifying force for Filipinos.

“Alex Eala didn’t disappoint us with her loss in the fourth round of the Wimbledon Championships. Failure is not measured by one defeat. She continues to inspire and motivate our youth who dare to dream big beyond their means. That makes her a true champion,” he said on X.

Lacson: Alex Eala a Much-Needed Detoxifier, Unifier of the Nation

On the eve of the start of the potentially divisive impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio, the nation received a much-needed dose of inspiration and unity from tennis sensation Alex Eala, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Sunday.

Lacson thanked Eala for lifting the Filipino spirit after she made history as the first Filipino player to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam singles tournament, highlighted by her dethroning of Iga Swiatek.

“She is the detoxifier that our country’s highly toxic atmosphere needs and an influential unifier of a deeply divided nation. Thank you Alex Eala for lifting the Filipino spirit. God bless you and the Philippines,” Lacson said on X.
