The BingoPlus Foundation, the social development arm of DigiPlus Interactive, held a personal branding session for its FutureSmart scholars on Feb. 22, 2025.
The session, part of the foundation’s P.L.U.S. (Pioneering Leadership and Uplifting Service) Factor program, aimed to equip 60 scholars nationwide with skills to build confidence and enhance credibility.
Carlos Yulo, a two-time Olympic medalist, made a virtual appearance, offering motivational insights on goal-setting.
“I hope your workshop with BingoPlus Foundation will serve as one of your tools in achieving the best version of yourselves. While branding and personal image are important, always remember that staying true and maintaining your authentic self are the real keys to success,” Yulo said.
“Don’t ever lose who you are and always look back to yourold self to appreciate your wins today while striving harder to get to where you want to be in the future,” he said.
Following sessions on Growth Mindset and The Power of Habits earlier in 2024, the social development arm of DigiPlus Interactive – which includes brands such as BingoPlus and ArenaPlus – hosted the latest session on Feb. 22, 2025 focusing on personal branding.
Scholars attending in person showcased their outfits of the day, expressing their unique styles and personalities. Steffi Fetalvero, recognized for the best outfit, received ArenaPlus merchandise signed by Yulo.
The P.L.U.S. Factor Program supports the foundation’s scholars through various stages of college life, equipping them with foundational mindsets, communication skills, productivity tools and leadership competencies before they enter the workforce.
The program will be extended to at least 10 new FutureSmart scholars for the upcoming academic year. Applications are being accepted through BingoPlus Foundation’s partners, SM Foundation and STI Foundation, with successful students enrolled in STI’s network of colleges nationwide.
