Virgilio "Beeyong" Sison[1] (born 20 February 1957) is a Filipino tennis coach and former professional player. Following his playing career he coached in Switzerland for many years and set up a tennis school.

Sison played collegiate tennis in the United States, for both Odessa College and Oklahoma City University during the late 1970s. He was a U.S. Public Parks champion in singles.[2]

A Filipino Davis Cup representative in 1983 and 1984, Sison was his nation's first player in the open era to feature in all four Grand Slam main draws.[3] He made the men's doubles quarter-finals of the 1981 French Open with Markus Günthardt and was ranked in the world's top 200 for doubles.[4]
