In the wake of Typhoon Crising and intensified monsoon rains affecting thousands of Filipino families, DigiPlus Interactive Corp., through its social development arm BingoPlus Foundation, has allocated P5 million in disaster response to provide food, hygiene kits, and essential aid to affected communities.
This is part of DigiPlus’ ongoing commitment to stand by Filipinos not only during moments of joy and entertainment, but also during times of urgent need. Last year, the Foundation also extended one of the largest corporate-led disaster donations in the country: P37 million in aid for survivors of Typhoon Kristine.
“Our goal is to ensure that no one is left behind during challenging times. BingoPlus Foundation helps ensure that aid is always within reach for anyone in need. Whether facing natural disasters or other crises, these resources are crucial for ensuring safety and support recovery,” said Paul Tamayo, program manager for Health and Resilience at BingoPlus Foundation.
In 2024, the Foundation’s KabuhayanPLUS Program was instrumental in providing disaster relief and fostering sustainable livelihoods, impacting over 82,200 Filipinos. The program has mobilized swiftly to provide aid to typhoon survivors and those affected by volcanic eruptions and other calamities. The program further extended livelihood assistance to support bereaved families to recover and rebuild after loss.
The Foundation’s latest relief drive is powered by the success and shared mission of DigiPlus’ key brands, BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone. Through these platforms, BingoPlus Foundation channels entertainment-driven growth into meaningful social impact.
“This is not a one-off act of charity, it’s a continuation of the broader promise from BingoPlus Foundation,” Mr. Tamayo said. “Our brands may live in the digital space, but we remain grounded in the real needs of Filipino families.”
Beyond distributing food packs and hygiene kits, the Foundation also has plans underway to extend livelihood support for families whose income sources have been disrupted.
In the spirit of “bayanihan,” BingoPlus Foundation coordinates with local government units and community organization partners to establish rapid-response channels.
