Moonton, the company behind the most popular MOBA game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang’s (MLBB), raised more than Php.1M during 515’s month-long celebration. The funds raised from winnings, auctions, and games were donated to Save The Children Philippines.
“We would like to thank Moonton, Rumble Royale, and every MLBB gamer as well as their supporters who helped raise funds during the Crazy Legends Charity Homestand,” says Ms. Riel Andaluz Sr., Manager of Corp. Partnerships of Save The Children.
