In a blockbuster collaboration for the Southeast Asian market, DigiPlus Interactive Corp has signed global boxing icon Manny Pacquiao to lead its latest digital entertainment offensive. The partnership, titled a “new round” for Filipino players, includes the launch of a specialized series of games across popular platforms BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone.
A Powerhouse Local Ecosystem
The Pacquiao-themed collection features nine dedicated titles, including Super Ace Pacquiao, Pacquiao Fortune, and Fortune Gems Pacquiao. These games are designed to reflect the “indomitable fighting spirit” of the world’s only eight-division champion. Beyond being a brand ambassador, Pacquiao will also serve as the face of DigiPlus’ premier sportsbook and elite tournament hub.
Eusebio Tanco, Chairman of DigiPlus, noted that the deal combines:
“The legendary story of our boxing hero with robust technological infrastructure, [for] an innovative, secure and truly local experience”.
MannyPay Integration
The partnership marks a milestone for the MannyPay platform, a Pacquiao-branded payment service licensed by the Philippines Central Bank, as DigiPlus becomes its first official gaming partner.
Manny Pacquiao expressed his pride in the project:
“This partnership with DigiPlus is special because it was created with our countrymen in mind… we are showing the world what Filipinos are capable of”.
