BingoPlus is taking another step forward in localized digital entertainment with the launch of Manny Pacquiao–inspired games, combining Filipino storytelling with accessible, seamless gameplay experiences designed for local audiences.

Known for introducing Filipino-themed content and improving in-app usability, BingoPlus continues to refine its platform to feel more intuitive and culturally relevant—making it easier for players to engage anytime, anywhere.

The latest development marks a major collaboration with boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, going beyond a traditional endorsement deal. The partnership introduces a series of Pacquiao-themed games that bring elements of his career and persona into the platform, alongside the rollout of MannyPay integration across DigiPlus brands.

The collaboration was officially unveiled at Shangri-La The Fort, with Pacquiao and DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio H. Tanco leading the signing and announcement.

At the center of the launch is a lineup of Pacquiao-inspired titles now available on BingoPlus. These games are built on familiar mechanics but incorporate themes reflecting Pacquiao’s journey and “champion” identity. Among the featured titles are Pacquiao Fortune, Manny Punch, Pacman’s Bingo Boom, Pacman’s Color Game, Super Ace Pacquiao, Boxing King Pacquiao, Gate of Manny Super Pacman, Fortune Gems Pacquiao, Wild Bounty Pacquiao, and Pacman Dropball Punch.

Speaking during the launch, Pacquiao emphasized the local focus of the partnership, noting that both the games and integrated services were designed with Filipino users in mind.

Alongside the new content, DigiPlus is introducing MannyPay as an integrated payment option across BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone. Powered by Traxion Pay Inc., a BSP-licensed payments provider, the feature adds another secure and regulated channel for in-app transactions, aligning with PAGCOR compliance requirements.

Despite the high-profile collaboration, the company reiterated that user protection remains a priority. The rollout includes responsible gaming tools within the platform, while verified player wallets continue to be safeguarded under existing protection mechanisms, including coverage limits of up to ₱1 million per eligible user.

The partnership also expands Pacquiao’s role beyond BingoPlus, strengthening his position as a brand ambassador for ArenaPlus and GameZone. This broader involvement reflects DigiPlus’ strategy to connect sports, gaming, and digital entertainment into a more unified ecosystem.

According to Tanco, the collaboration represents a shift toward more narrative-driven experiences. By combining Pacquiao’s legacy with the company’s technology, DigiPlus aims to deliver content that is not only engaging but also culturally meaningful and secure.

With Pacquiao-inspired games and MannyPay features now live for eKYC-verified users, the launch signals a broader push toward integrating localized content, streamlined payments, and stronger safeguards—positioning BingoPlus at the forefront of the Philippines’ evolving digital entertainment landscape.

BingoPlus is set to mark its fourth anniversary with the return of BingoPlus Night on May 19, 2026, reinforcing its position as one of the country’s leading digital entertainment platforms.

Organized by its parent company DigiPlus Interactive Corp., the annual event promises another large-scale production featuring top-tier performances, celebrity appearances, and an immersive entertainment experience for fans nationwide.

Leading this year’s lineup are some of the biggest names in Philippine entertainment, including Vice Ganda, Kim Chiu, Ely Buendia, Bamboo, and Parokya Ni Edgar. They will be joined by a diverse roster of performers such as Nina, Julie Anne San Jose, Yeng Constantino, Darren Espanto, and Anthony Jennings.

Hosting duties for the evening will be handled by Joy Barcoma, Markki Stroem, and Rufa Mae Quinto, ensuring a dynamic flow throughout the program.

Beyond the performances, BingoPlus Night 2026 continues to highlight the platform’s commitment to community impact. The event also shines a spotlight on beneficiaries of the DigiPlus Foundation, aligning celebration with its broader “Entertainment for Good” initiative.

The program will feature key segments such as a press conference, a red carpet showcase, and the main stage performances. In addition, players will have the chance to win major prizes, including a BMW X1 xDrive25e xLine, an iPhone 17 Pro Max, a Louis Vuitton canvas bag, ₱500,000 worth of BingoPlus credits, and a ₱500,000 luxury Asia tour package.

Fans can watch the event live on May 19 through BingoPlus’ official website, mobile app, and social media channels. Special broadcasts are also scheduled on GTV on May 22 and on GMA on May 23, expanding its reach to a wider television audience.

Support for the event comes from multiple partners, including Pay&Go and MannyPay as Diamond sponsors, APEX and Coins.ph as Platinum sponsors, and Avolution, Inc., Carousell, and Fulitech Philippines, Inc. as Gold sponsors.

Launched in 2022, BingoPlus has played a key role in shaping the digital gaming landscape in the Philippines, offering interactive live-streaming experiences while promoting responsible gaming under the regulation of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation.

BingoPlus Foundation, the social development arm of DigiPlus Interactive, has secured a ₱150 million grant aimed at expanding its community initiatives across the Philippines.

Since its establishment, the foundation has focused on long-term, community-driven programs centered on education, healthcare, resilience, and responsible digitalization. In 2024 alone, its initiatives reached more than 120,000 Filipinos through a mix of core programs and targeted interventions.

The latest funding follows a series of recognitions for the foundation’s FutureSmart Program, which earned a Silver Anvil at the 59th Anvil Awards and a Gold Stevie Award at the 2024 APAC Stevie Awards. The program has supported over 5,200 individuals through technology-focused education, including IT scholarships for high-potential students, leadership development under the PLUS Factor initiative, and the rollout of robotics and programming tools in public schools. In collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare and Development, persons with disabilities were also provided with vocational training in digital skills and computer-based work.

Healthcare access remains another key focus. Through its KalusuganPLUS Program, the foundation has supported more than 30,000 Filipinos by providing vaccines, medicines, diagnostic services, and eye care. It has also contributed to improving sanitation and access to clean water for over 18,000 residents in Bulacan, Cebu, and General Santos, while supplying medical equipment to public health facilities and supporting home care for senior citizens.

In terms of disaster response and livelihood support, the KabuhayanPLUS Program has reached over 82,000 individuals. The initiative has delivered timely assistance to communities affected by typhoons, volcanic eruptions, and other crises, with more than ₱40 million allocated to relief efforts. Beyond immediate aid, the program also promotes long-term recovery through livelihood support and skills training, including targeted assistance for solo parents and vulnerable groups.

BingoPlus Foundation also works closely with DigiPlus Interactive’s platforms—BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone—to promote responsible digital behavior. Campaigns such as “Pusta de Peligro” and “Tamang Laro, Tamang Panalo” aim to raise awareness around responsible gaming, offering education on recognizing harmful patterns, providing basic psychological support, and encouraging financial discipline among players.

With the additional ₱150 million investment, the foundation is set to scale its reach further, including expanding its Make-A-Wish Project, which has already benefited more than 2,300 individuals across 37 cities in 20 provinces.

“Through this investment, we aim to deepen our impact and build stronger collaborations that deliver meaningful results,” said Angela Camins-Wieneke, Executive Director of BingoPlus Foundation. “From nurturing future talent to strengthening community resilience, we remain committed to creating lasting value for Filipinos.”
