A new chapter in digital entertainment unfolds as Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao steps into the spotlight—not inside the ring, but as the newest face of GameZone. The partnership was رسميly sealed during a ceremonial signing on March 25, 2026, held at Shangri-La The Fort Manila, marking a significant milestone for the DigiPlus group.
The announcement didn’t come as a surprise to keen followers. Earlier in March, GameZone had already sparked curiosity during its Tongits Plus Champions Cup Season 4, where glimpses of its “Ikaw ang Alas” campaign were revealed. The visuals, displayed across the event stage and screens, hinted at a figure whose influence goes beyond sports—someone who embodies determination and excellence.
Pacquiao’s entry into the GameZone family brings more than just star power. Widely regarded as the only eight-division world champion in boxing history, he represents discipline, resilience, and integrity—qualities that align seamlessly with GameZone’s core philosophy of “Real Player, Real Game.” His presence reinforces the brand’s message of cultivating a winning mindset, encouraging players to rise as their own “alas” or ace in every match they take on.
Beyond branding, the collaboration introduces practical innovations. One of the highlights is the integration of MannyPay, a digital payment platform where Pacquiao serves as chairman. This partnership aims to simplify in-app transactions, offering users a more seamless and efficient gaming experience.
Executives from DigiPlus Interactive Corp. and Total GameZone Xtreme Inc. were present at the signing, underscoring the importance of the collaboration. The move reflects a broader vision—to expand GameZone’s reach not just within gaming, but into mainstream entertainment and sports culture.
At the heart of this evolution is a strong commitment to responsible gaming. GameZone continues to promote its campaign, “The Strongest Move Is Knowing When To Stop,” reminding players that true strength lies in self-control. This balance between excitement and responsibility defines the platform’s long-term direction.
The event itself captured the energy of the partnership. A lively flash mob performance, complete with Pacquiao-themed masks, brought excitement to the stage, while the boxing icon playfully showcased his signature moves at the GameZone booth—blending sport and entertainment in one engaging moment.
To further elevate the experience, GameZone introduced Pacquiao-inspired in-app games such as Pacquiao Fortune and Manny Punch, adding fresh layers of excitement for players. Known for its player-versus-player format in beloved Filipino card games like Tongits and Pusoy, GameZone continues to evolve, now strengthened by a partnership that bridges gaming, culture, and championship spirit.
With Pacquiao on board, GameZone signals a bold future—one driven by innovation, credibility, and the enduring pursuit of excellence.
