DigiPlus Urges Lawmakers: Hear the Facts Before Judging the Industry

 DigiPlus Interactive Corp., the operator of BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, today voiced an appeal to lawmakers amid the wave of congressional proposals targeting the online gaming sector.

 

“We are open to evolving and improving wherever needed,” said DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco. “If there are new standards to meet, or better ways to protect players, we will act swiftly and responsibly. But please, do not condemn an industry, and the 50,000 Filipino families who rely on it, without hearing the facts first.”

The company expressed deep concern that responsible, law-abiding operators are being swept into a tide of suspicion meant to catch those who have never complied with regulation in the first place. Many of the measures now being debated in Congress, such as rigorous Know-Your-Customer (KYC) checks; mandatory age verification that bars minors and vulnerable players; self-exclusion tools; and responsible-gaming prompts, have been in place in DigiPlus platforms since November 2024. 

 

DigiPlus underscored that it has always done its best to align its operations with regulatory expectations from PAGCOR and other relevant government agencies. Every peso flowing through its platforms is taxed, audited, and remitted to PAGCOR and the Bureau of Internal Revenue, funding healthcare, infrastructure, and disaster relief. “Tell us what more we must do,” Tanco said, “And we will do it without hesitation. Just grant us the fairness owed to any lawful Filipino enterprise.”

 

The company says the current atmosphere feels less like regulation and more like retribution. “We stand licensed, audited, and transparent, yet we are made to answer for the crimes of illegal operators who respect neither law nor livelihood,” Tanco noted. 

 

DigiPlus directly appealed for reason and clarity in the debate, saying: “We are appealing to the government: Let us approach this rationally. If we study the issue with clear eyes, we will see that the social ills being blamed on online gaming stem from the illegal market. That is where underage gambling happens. That is where financial abuse thrives. Target that, and the harm disappears.”

 

The consequences of a total ban go far beyond corporate risk. More than 3,000 direct DigiPlus employees, and an estimated 50,000 jobs across the online gaming industry’s nationwide network, including those in information technology, cybersecurity, software development, as well as multimedia artists, call center agents, security personnel, and housekeeping staff are now at risk. Tanco said, “In every city, in every province, our people are asking: are we no longer welcome, even when we’ve done everything right?”

 

DigiPlus warned that banning licensed operators will not make online gaming go away. It will only drive players toward illegal, unregulated sites with no safeguards.

 

As the national debate unfolds, DigiPlus calls for fact-based dialogue, grounded not in fear or stigma, but in the shared goal of building a stronger, safer, and more accountable gaming industry. As a proudly Filipino company, DigiPlus reaffirmed its commitment to full compliance, cooperation with regulators, and proactive reform. 

 

Digiplus appeals to lawmakers and the public: “We are not asking for special treatment. We are simply asking to be judged by our actions, not by perception, nor by association with those who break the law. Regulation works best when it uplifts what is working, not when it dismantles it.”

 

Because You Deserve It: How Pop Culture Helped Redefine Self-Care

 When we think of self-care, we often imagine yoga mats, expensive retreats, or influencers sipping green juice. But real self-care, the kind that sticks, often comes from something simpler: seeing your own struggles, quirks, and quiet victories reflected back at you.

Sometimes, that mirror is pop culture.

Movies and shows aren’t just distractions. They give us space to feel seen, to process what we’re going through, and even to laugh when life feels too heavy. This World Self-Care Day, we look at how a few titles from Lionsgate Play remind us of small but meaningful ways to care for ourselves.

1. Laughing through it: Son of a Critch

Son of a Critch is a coming-of-age comedy that’s not just hilarious, but deeply human. It shows us that humor is a powerful coping mechanism. Sometimes, the best self-care is simply finding the funny, even when things aren’t perfect.

 

2. Feeling it all: Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist

Self-care isn’t always about calming down. Sometimes, it’s about letting go. Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist follows a young woman who starts hearing people’s thoughts in the form of musical numbers. Whether it’s grief, joy, anxiety, or love, the show reminds us that emotional honesty is healing. Crying during a musical montage totally counts as self-care.

 

3. Decluttering your beliefs: Ramy

 

A little mental decluttering can go a long way. Ramyexplores spirituality, identity, and the pressure to fit into cultural expectations. It doesn’t offer easy answers, but that’s part of its magic. Self-care can also mean questioning what you’ve always believed and giving yourself permission to change.

 

4. Reclaiming your power: Madam

 

Taking care of yourself sometimes means refusing to shrink. Madam follows a woman who stirs controversy just by being unapologetically herself. It’s a reminder that boundaries, boldness, and even a bit of rebellion can be radical acts of self-preservation.

The takeaway? Self-care isn’t always a solo ritual. Sometimes it’s letting yourself connect with a character, a story, or even a song that feels surprisingly close to home. So grab a snack, sink into your favorite chair, and watch something that makes you feel. Because healing doesn’t only happen during yoga or journaling. Sometimes, it happens on your screen.
