MANILA, Philippines — Digital entertainment company DigiPlus Interactive Corp. has become the first official gaming partner of MannyPay, the payment platform of Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao.

DigiPlus said MannyPay, powered by Traxion Pay Inc., a Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP)-licensed payment infrastructure, guarantees continuous operations, enabling players to benefit from smooth transaction processing and same-day settlements.

“As the digital entertainment scene in the Philippines continues to evolve, our audience is seeking more than just games. They want authentic, narrative-driven experiences,” DigiPlus chairman Eusebio Tanco said.

“This collaboration allows us to combine the legendary story of our boxing hero with our robust technological infrastructure, providing our players with an innovative, secure and truly local experience,” he said.

DigiPlus said it partners only with BSP-accredited payment channels, in accordance with the requirements of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp., to ensure that all player wallet transactions are processed through secure, compliant payment platforms.

“This partnership with DigiPlus is special because it was created with our countrymen in mind. Whether it is through the games that tell my story, or handling payments with MannyPay, we are showing the world what Filipinos are capable of,” Pacquiao, chairman of MannyPay, said.

Aside from the MannyPay integration, the partnership between DigiPlus and Pacquiao also includes co-branded games and ambassadorship.

DigiPlus said that, unlike standard celebrity-branded games, the collection of nine Pacquiao-themed titles is made for Filipinos and is designed to reflect the boxing icon’s achievements.

Pacquiao will also serve as the official brand ambassador for ArenaPlus and GameZone.

DigiPlus said that Pacquiao’s ambassadorship reinforces the company’s shared commitment to integrity, fair play and responsible gaming standards that it has been promoting.

“I am also honored to be representing ArenaPlus and GameZone as we continue to champion the spirit of the winner in everything we do,” Pacquiao said.
