Supporting the Next Generation of Filipino Tennis
Now in its second year, Gentry Open is a Class 1 tennis tournament designed to provide aspiring professional players from across the country with an opportunity to compete at a high level.
Held at the CSA Tennis Stadium from August 19 to 30, 2026, the tournament brings together rising tennis talents from around the Philippines.

The partnership was officially highlighted during the Gentry Open 2026 opening ceremony on August 20, with Stephen Cheng, Vice President of HONOR Philippines, joining Gentry Open representatives and the Pareng Crew.
Pareng Hayb delivered a ceremonial serve as the Magic V6 took center stage as the tournament's presenter. The opening brought together the shared values of performance, discipline, and innovation while giving HONOR an opportunity to connect with Gentry Open's audience as well as the next wave of Filipino tennis talent.
Stephen Cheng shared, “We’re proud to partner with Gentry Open as it continues to create opportunities for the next generation of Filipino tennis players. Their passion, discipline, and drive to push their limits reflect the same spirit of performance and innovation that we bring to the HONOR Magic V6.”
The partnership gives both sides an opportunity to highlight those qualities in an environment where consistency, endurance, and the drive to improve are always on display.
Pareng Crew Tests Magic V6 Durability
Technology also became part of the opening-day action as the Pareng Crew went hands-on with the Magic V6 through a special Pull Up durability exhibition.
Pareng Hayb put the flagship foldable to the test during the showcase, demonstrating the device in an unconventional setting that complemented the competitive atmosphere of the tournament.
The exhibition highlighted the Magic V6's ability to keep up with demanding and fast-moving lifestyles while giving those attending Gentry Open a closer look at the innovation behind HONOR's latest foldable.
For HONOR, this type of experiential showcase provides a different way of introducing a new smartphone. Instead of simply putting the device on display, the brand placed it in an environment built around physical performance and testing limits, fitting the overall theme of its Gentry Open partnership.
Strengthening the Partnership
With Gentry Open continuing its second-year run through August 30, HONOR Philippines is looking forward to strengthening its partnership with the tournament and supporting more opportunities that bring technology and sports together.
The collaboration also reflects HONOR's goal of bringing innovation closer to Filipino consumers through meaningful experiences both on and off the court. By participating in an event focused on aspiring professional athletes, HONOR gets to connect its latest technology with a younger generation defined by ambition, discipline, and a willingness to push forward.
At the same time, the partnership places additional attention on Filipino tennis talents as they compete and continue working toward their professional aspirations.

The Gentry Open appearance comes just days before HONOR officially unveils its latest flagship foldable in the Philippines.
The HONOR Magic V6 is scheduled to officially launch on Monday, August 24, 2026, at 6:00 PM. The grand unveiling will be streamed online, giving Filipino consumers an opportunity to discover what HONOR describes as a new era of foldable innovation as the real magic unfolds.
