Las Vegas, NV, Nevada, United States, February 6, 2025 --  On January 28, 2025, during the TPE exhibition held in Las Vegas, a jaw - dropping theft took place. Right in the full view of the public, two man snatched a gold bar worth approximately one million dollars from the Alibarbar booth. The whole process was so neat and quick that it was just like a scene from a movie.

According to on - site eyewitnesses, the incident occurred during the exhibition setup. At that time, the employees at the Alibarbar booth were making the final preparations for the upcoming "gold bar Challenge" activity. An accomplice of the thief pretended to communicate with the staff of the organizer, drawing their attention away. At the same time, another thief quietly approached the gold bar that had not yet been covered with a protective cover. When no one was paying attention, he swiftly grabbed the gold bar and then fled the scene.

As shown in the surveillance video, the thief acted rapidly and methodically. He completed the entire process from seizing the gold bar to escaping in just a few seconds. The Alibarbar organizers and on - site eyewitnesses failed to react promptly and could only watch as the car drove away with the gold bar.

Once this theft was exposed, it quickly set social media ablaze. A surveillance video went viral on the Internet, and netizens were all exclaiming about the audacity and elaborate planning of the thief. The Alibarbar team was extremely shocked and admitted that since the activity had not officially started, the gold bar was not covered by insurance.

Currently, Alibarbar is offering a reward of $200,000, hoping that the public can provide any clues that will help solve the case.

Tennis tournament hopes to entice aspiring Alex Ealas

Tennis is receiving much attention these days due mainly to Filipino player Alex Eala who continues to make the country proud in international tournaments. This is partly why the Philippine Columbian Association (PCA) is optimistic that it will draw over a thousand entries for the 43rd PCA Open 2026.  The annual tennis tournament is special this year as it has partnered with Palawan Group of Companies whose founder and chair Bobby Castro is committed to supporting Filipino athletes and the growth of local sports. “Earlier this year, in May, we held the Palawan Open where many players, both seasoned and starting, competed. Aside from the prizes at stake, it was a venue for veteran players to showcase their talents and inspire the youth,” Castro said in his opening remarks. Eala’s participation in Pala-wan-supported tournaments early in her career also highlights the value of local competitions. “Here at Palawan Group, we believe that Filipinos have so much potential. We just need to provide opportunities for them to develop their skills, gain experience, and show the country, and maybe later, the world, what they can do,” Castro said. “This is one of the reasons why we are proud to support the Palawan PCA Open as a major sponsor. For us, this isn’t just about supporting this tournament but it is also about supporting the athletes themselves and helping create more opportunities for Filipino talent to grow,” he added. Dubbed the “Wimbledon of the Philippines,” the PCA Open will run from Nov. 2 to Dec. 13, at the PCA clay courts in Paco, Manila. The tournament is expected to draw more than 1,000 entries across eight categories. The junior events begin on Nov. 2, while the men’s and women’s Open main draws are scheduled Dec. 5 to 13.  Founded in 1907, the PCA has a long history of bringing people together through sports and community, with tennis remaining an important part of its tradition. The PCA Open continues to bring together players of different ages and skill levels, from junior competitors to those vying for the men’s and women’s Open titles. “We want to keep the sport accessible, give players opportunities to compete, and inspire more Filipinos to experience the excitement of the game. We thank Palawan Group for supporting this shared goal,” said Ivan Ong, PCA Open Committee representative. Athletes devote years to training and development, demonstrating discipline, dedication, and perseverance. Each player who steps onto the court brings extensive experience while continuing to refine and elevate their skills. “We want to support that journey and help give our athletes more opportunities to compete and excel. At the same time, we also want to encourage more Filipinos, especially the youth, to excel in tennis,” Castro said.  During the tournament launch on Oct. 15, members of the media participated in a mini-tennis clinic, where coaches and young tennis players introduced them to the fundamentals of the sport through a series of on-court activities. “As a proudly Filipino company, we see supporting Philippine tennis as another way to put our commitment to the communities we serve into action,” said Bernard Kaibigan, chief marketing officer of the Palawan Group of Companies. “Beyond the tournament itself, we hope initiatives like the Palawan PCA Open will encourage more Filipinos to discover the sport and see it as something they can learn, enjoy, and pursue,” Kaibigan added. By backing established tournaments such as the PCA Open, Palawan Group hopes to help sustain opportunities for Filipino players. Additional information and tournament updates are available through the official social media accounts of the Palawan PCA 43rd Open.
