MnM Cube Cup Malolos 2026 brings WCA cubing to Bulacan
MnM Cube Cup Malolos 2026 capped at 120 competitors, with 37 first-timers and 83 returners at Robinsons Place Malolos.
MnM Cube Cup Malolos 2026 brought official WCA competition back to Robinsons Place Malolos on June 27, giving Bulacan a familiar mall venue for speedcubers, families, and first-time spectators to navigate with ease. The meet filled to a 120-person cap, with 37 first-timers and 83 returners, a mix that showed how quickly the local scene has widened beyond core regulars.
The event was organized under Cabalen Cubers Club by Dylan Arteims N. Fernandez, Joel Angelo D. Del Pilar, Kristine Robin T. Linsangan, Paolo Miguel Parian, and Xavier De Vera, with Bille Janssen Lagarde and Louie Jay Quibote serving as WCA delegates. Online registration opened on May 3 at 5:00 PM PDT and closed on June 23 at 5:00 PM PDT, with a base fee of PHP 250 online or PHP 300 on the spot, plus PHP 50 for each additional event. That structure made the meet easy to enter for newcomers while still giving returning cubers a full schedule of extra events if they wanted to expand beyond the 3x3.
The venue choice mattered as much as the competition itself. Robinsons Place Malolos sits on a 2.6-hectare lot along MacArthur Highway in Malolos City, Bulacan, and Robinsons describes it as the 35th mall in its chain and the second in Bulacan. With a 67,340-square-meter floor area, more than 550 parking slots, four all-digital cinemas, and a Lingkod Pinoy Center, the mall offered the kind of public-facing setup that makes a cubing meet feel approachable rather than hidden away. For a sport that still depends on bringing in first-time spectators and younger competitors, that convenience can matter more than any single result on the podium.
MnM Cube Cup Malolos 2026 also extended a local run that began with MnM Cube Cup 2024, the first WCA-sanctioned cubing competition in Malolos, Bulacan. That earlier event, held on February 11, 2024 at the same Robinsons venue, drew 79 competitors. The repeat booking showed that Bulacan is no longer just hosting a one-off novelty meet, but sustaining a WCA stop that can keep feeding the wider Philippine circuit, where the Philippine Cubers Association identifies itself as the national organization recognized by the WCA and the 2026 Philippine Championship is listed as the 15th WCA National Championship for the Philippines.
