From Ring to Screen: Pacquiao Enters Digital Play

From dusty streets in General Santos City to roaring arenas around the world, Manny Pacquiao’s life has always been a story of movement—forward, upward, and never in reverse. Now, that same story is stepping into a new arena, not with gloves, but with games.

DigiPlus Interactive Corp., the company behind BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, has partnered with the Filipino boxing legend to launch a new line of co-branded digital games inspired by Pacquiao’s life, spirit, and victories. More than just a celebrity tie-in, the collaboration turns moments from Pacquiao’s journey into playable stories that blend sport, culture, and entertainment.

Leading the launch are two flagship titles: Super Ace Pacquiao and Boxing King Pacquiao. These games are part of a nine-title series that will roll out across DigiPlus platforms, with most already live and more coming soon. Each title weaves Pacquiao’s character into its design—from bold action and fast-paced rounds to moments that reward patience and strategy, much like his fights in the ring.

For DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio H. Tanco, the goal is simple: create entertainment that feels real and Filipino. By blending Pacquiao’s most iconic moments with familiar symbols and traits, the games aim to connect not just through fun, but through shared identity.

Pacquiao sees the project as more than a celebration of wins. For him, it is a way to tell the whole story—the losses, the discipline, the faith, and the struggle that shaped him. Each game reflects a part of that journey, reminding players that success is built through effort and belief.

“I want players to see themselves in these games,” Pacquiao shared. “Not just the champion, but the person who kept going when things were hard.”

As DigiPlus continues to add new Pacquiao-themed titles, the partnership marks a new kind of storytelling—one where Filipino heroes, culture, and dreams come alive through digital play, proving that inspiration can exist not only in stadiums, but also on screens in the hands of everyday players.
