The Honor of Kings Philippines community has once again proven the power of gaming beyond the screen. Following the devastating magnitude 6.9 earthquake that struck Cebu on September 30, 2025, players, streamers, and esports personalities came together for #HOKbayanihan – Stream For a Cause, raising aid for affected families.
Gaming for Good: #HOKbayanihan Charity Stream

The lineup included fan favorites such as Dogie, Yawi, H2WO, and Renejay, alongside popular figures like Charess, Chano, Chippu, and familiar esports hosts from the Philippine King’s League (PKL): Mara Aquino, Butters, Sh1nboo, and Chantelle.
Their collective efforts transformed gaming entertainment into tangible aid, with the Honor of Kings community donating essential goods to survivors in the Municipality of Medellin, Cebu.
Relief Goods Distributed to Affected Communities
Thanks to the generosity of the community and the dedication of the streamers, the initiative successfully provided much-needed supplies to quake-hit families, including:
