DigiPlus Interactive Corp., through its social development arm BingoPlus Foundation, allotted P5 million for disaster response to provide food, hygiene kits and essential aid to thousands of Filipino families affected by Typhoon Crising and intensified monsoon rains.
DigiPlus said the initiative is part of its commitment to support Filipinos during times of urgent need, not just for entertainment.
BingoPlus Foundation provided P37 million in aid in 2024 to survivors of Typhoon Kristine, one of the largest corporate-led disaster donations in the country.
“Our goal is to ensure that no one is left behind during challenging times,” said Paul Tamayo, program manager for health and resilience at BingoPlus Foundation.
“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,” he said.
In 2024, the foundation’s KabuhayanPLUS Program played a key role in disaster relief and fostering sustainable livelihoods, assisting more than 82,200 Filipinos.
The program swiftly mobilized to aid typhoon survivors and those affected by volcanic eruptions and other calamities. It also extended livelihood assistance to help bereaved families recover and rebuild after loss.
The foundation said it latest relief drive is supported 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. Our brands may live in the digital space, but we remain grounded in the real needs of Filipino families,” said Tamayo.
The foundation said that beyond distributing food packs and hygiene kits, it also plans to extend livelihood support for families whose income sources have been disrupted.
BingoPlus Foundation said it coordinates with local government units and community organization partners to establish rapid-response channels.
