TikTok, the leading destination for short-form mobile video, has announced its partnership as a premium sponsor of the 32nd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games (SEA Games 2023). To celebrate this event, TikTok is offering a variety of perks for users, including in-app effects, features, and exclusive creator engagements on the platform. Through SEA Games 2023, TikTok looks at enhancing users’ fan engagement and boosting celebrations during the tournament.
As the premium sponsor of the games, TikTok will bring Pinoy fans the latest sports and athlete highlights through real-time updates on the platform. Through shared and LIVE video content from official authorities, news media partners, and athletes as well as specially created in-app features and exclusive content, Pinoy fans can expect up-close-and-personal interactions, special scoops and behind-the-scenes interaction with national athletes as well as an opportunity to showcase their support from home.
“We are thrilled to once again partner with the SEA Games organizing committee. As the premium sponsor for the upcoming games, we are committed to bringing highly-spirited Pinoy sports fans even more significant and memorable moments of the event,” said Emmanuel John Castro, TikTok Philippines’ User, Content and Community Operations manager. “Filipinos have always been passionate about the SEA Games, and we are excited to reignite the pride in our local teams and celebrate the sports that unite us.”

In addition, Pinoy fans can also use local hashtags, such as #LabanPilipinas, to stay up-to-date with the latest matches as well as watch replays while connecting with a vast community of sports enthusiasts in SEA across the entire sports season.
