What is the BingoPlus Foundation?
BingoPlus Foundation is the social development arm of DigiPlus Interactive Corp., the company behind BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone. It runs programs in technology education, healthcare, disaster resilience, inclusive empowerment and mental health. In February 2026 it was renamed DigiPlus Foundation, but the work — and the BingoPlus Charity tab — continue under the new name.
Is BingoPlus Foundation the same as DigiPlus Foundation?
Yes. BingoPlus Foundation was renamed DigiPlus Foundation on 27 February 2026 to reflect that it serves all of DigiPlus's brands and a nationwide mission. Older articles, scholarship announcements and award citations still use the BingoPlus Foundation name.
What programs does the foundation run?
Five flagship programs: FutureSmart (technology scholarships, training and PlusCenters), KalusuganPlus (medical missions and health access), BayanihanPlus (disaster response and recovery), WishPlus (granting wishes, including WishPlus Radyo with RMN) and EmbracePlus (a mental-health hotline and barangay trainings).
How many people has the foundation helped?
The foundation reports more than one million Filipinos reached: over 911,000 given access to care through KalusuganPlus, over 176,000 supported by BayanihanPlus, 9,800+ wishes granted through WishPlus and 6,300+ future-ready students through FutureSmart, as published on digiplusfoundation.org in 2026.
How do I donate through BingoPlus?
Open the Charity tab in the BingoPlus app. It lists live project cards — food security, healthcare, classrooms, relief — with real-time progress, partner organizations and impact statistics. Giving is optional and separate from play; the amounts and steps are shown on each card. The foundation's own site also accepts wish submissions and volunteer interest.
What is the FutureSmart scholarship?
FutureSmart is the foundation's technology-education program. It began in December 2022 with a ₱6 million college scholarship with iACADEMY, grew to nearly ₱30 million in grants across 20 partner schools by 2024, and added the P.L.U.S. Factor leadership program for 60 scholars, IT certification training with partners such as STI and Edukasyon.ph, and PlusCenter learning spaces.
What does the foundation do in a disaster?
BayanihanPlus mobilizes relief waves with local governments, the DSWD, the Philippine Red Cross and BingoPlus Store volunteers. After the magnitude-7.8 Southern Mindanao earthquake of June 2026 it delivered water to 1,000 families in General Santos within days and reached more than 25,000 people by September, followed by 200 sacks of rice to DSWD relief efforts.
Who leads the foundation?
Angela Camins-Wieneke is Executive Director. The Board of Trustees is chaired by Christine Gabrieles, with trustees including DigiPlus chairman Eusebio H. Tanco and BingoPlus president Rafael Jasper S. Vicencio.
Has the foundation won awards?
Its programs have been recognized at the 60th Anvil Awards, the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards (2025 and 2026), the Quill Awards and the Global Gaming Awards.
Does giving to charity affect my BingoPlus play?
No. The Charity tab is a giving feature, not a game: it does not change odds, rewards or VIP status, and it is never required. Play within your limits — the National Problem Gambling Helpline (02) 8248-9568 and ResponsibleGaming@pagcor.ph are free and confidential.
