15-year-old Filipino Crimson Arradaza achieves a historic 5.33 second One-Handed solve at the Inaugural Philippine National Speed Cubing Open
TAGAYTAY CITY, PHILIPPINES - Media OutReach Newswire - 29 May 2026 - Southeast Asia has made its mark on the global speed cubing stage.
In a moment that electrified the international speed cubing community, Filipino prodigy Crimson Arradaza shattered the 3x3x3 One-Handed World Record with a blistering 5.33-second solve at the inaugural Philippine National Speed Cubing Open, organised by the Asian Mind Sports Association (AMSA) and the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC).
Held from 27–28 May at the Tagaytay City Combat Arena, the tournament was the first major nationally-backed speed cubing event under the Philippine Olympic movement — and immediately, it made history.
Arradaza's stunning performance broke the previous 5.66-second record set by Switzerland's Dhruva Sai Meruva in 2024. More significantly, it pushed the boundaries of what many believed possible in one-handed solving, placing the Philippines in the spotlight of global mind sports. It is an extraordinary achievement for the rising speed cubing powerhouse.
"I have been speed cubing for the past four years and this is the best birthday gift for myself," said Arradaza, who turned 15 the day before.
The teenager from Baguio City travelled eight hours to compete in Tagaytay, accompanied by his parents — a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and support behind every young champion.
"This is not just a Philippine achievement. This is an Asian achievement," said AMSA Director-General Jim Yu. "The future of mind sports belongs to the younger generation, and today the Philippines showed the world what Southeast Asian talent is capable of."
POC President Abraham "Bambol" Tolentino and Tagaytay City Mayor Ross Tolentino were also present to witness the historic achievement.
"Sports is not only about physical strength. It is also about mental sharpness, discipline, and focus," said POC President Tolentino. "Filipinos are naturally talented in mind sports, and this world record proves we can compete with the very best globally."
Beyond competition, the two-day event featured referee training programmes, operational workshops, and development dialogues aimed at strengthening the speed cubing ecosystem.
AMSA reaffirmed its commitment to developing mind sports across Asia through partnerships with National Olympic Committees, federations, and local organisers.
The organisation plans to continue growing regional competitions, talent pathways, livestream infrastructure, referee systems, youth engagement programmes, and international exchanges to elevate mind sports to unprecedented mainstream recognition across Asia.

Professional seepage-inspection reports feed directly into civil claims, helping property owners recover repair costs
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire – 30 May 2026 – To address the persistent problem of building water seepage affecting Hong Kong property owners, HK Find Surveyor (香港搵公正行網) and Hong Kong Civil Claim Centre (香港民事索償中心) today announced a joint service that combines professional seepage detection with legal claims into a single, end-to-end process — helping affected owners move from identifying the source of a leak to recovering their losses with complete support.
The core difficulty of seepage disputes
Water seepage is a common problem in Hong Kong's older and high-density housing, yet owners typically face three obstacles: difficulty proving the source of the seepage, responsible parties refusing to acknowledge or compensate, and a lack of sufficient evidence to bring a claim. Many cases reach a dead end simply because there is no professional inspection report.
How the end-to-end service works
- Seepage detection (HK Find Surveyor) — Using methods such as infrared thermal imaging, moisture testing and water-pipe pressure testing, the source of the seepage and the responsible party are determined, and a credible written inspection report is issued.
- Legal claims (Hong Kong Civil Claim Centre) — Using that inspection report as key evidence, owners are assisted in issuing a formal demand to the responsible party, negotiating, and where necessary pursuing repair costs and related losses through civil proceedings.
The key to the service: the seepage inspection report is precisely the core evidence required for a civil claim. By connecting the two stages, owners avoid shuttling between different organisations and can ensure a complete chain of evidence.
Representatives' comments
A spokesperson for HK Find Surveyor said: "In many seepage cases, the dispute comes down to the difficulty of pinpointing the source. A rigorous, impartial inspection report provides a clear factual basis for everything that follows."
A spokesperson for Hong Kong Civil Claim Centre added: "In the claims process, the quality of evidence often determines how the recovery progresses. A professional seepage report gives us a firmer basis to communicate with the responsible party when handling claims for seepage-related losses."
(Note: This service provides legal consultation and claims assistance; the outcome of each case depends on its facts and evidence.)
Applicable situations
- Seepage, mould or peeling on ceilings, walls or floors
- Suspected seepage from an upstairs unit, external wall or common areas
- The responsible party has been asked to act but has refused or delayed
- A professional report is needed to support recovery of repair costs or losses
