Filipina tennis player Alex Eala has once again brought a piece of her culture to the prestigious Wimbledon tournament. This year, she debuted a custom visor that features an inspiring Filipino phrase.
The visor, embroidered with the words "Kapag lumago, hindi na hihinto" (When it grows, it will not stop), was gifted to her by Nike. Eala shared this moment on her Instagram, emphasizing the importance of resilience and perseverance.
A Symbol of Filipino Heritage
"Every dream begins as a seed. Once it grows, it cannot be stopped. Kapag lumago, hindi na hihinto," she wrote alongside a photo of a sampaguita flower, a symbol of purity and simplicity in Filipino culture.
