The BingoPlus Foundation, the social development arm of DigiPlus Interactive Corporation (DigiPlus), is reaffirming its dedication to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in combating hunger (SDG 2) and enhancing sanitation (SDG 6) in the Philippines.
The Foundation distributed 1,000 grocery packs containing food essentials and sanitation supplies to evacuees following the recent eruption of Mt. Kanlaon in Negros Occidental,
This relief effort was conducted in collaboration with the Municipality of La Castellana, led by Mayor Alme Rhummyla Nicor-Mangilimutan, and the Nikki Cares Foundation Inc., represented by founder Dominique Lopez-Benitez.
In addition to the emergency relief, the Foundation supported the “LAB For All” medical program, an initiative led by First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos in Bacolod City. BingoPlus Foundation provided both volunteers and logistical support, benefiting nearly 8,000 patients.
Expanding its efforts, BingoPlus Foundation also addressed health needs in General Santos by offering flu vaccinations to 500 residents in Purok Mapailubon and starting the construction of new sanitation facilities in local barangays. The Foundation further launched a dressmaking training center in partnership with Barangay San Isidro, TESDA, and DOLE, as part of its KabuhayanPLUS livelihood program.
These activities are part of the Foundation’s Barangay Bigayan program, designed to address urgent needs in urban communities by focusing on resilience, health, and infrastructure development. The program aims to foster a spirit of giving and community support, reflective of Filipino values.
Andy Tsui, president of DigiPlus and chairman of BingoPlus Foundation, emphasized the holistic approach of their initiatives: “Our Barangay Bigayan efforts are rooted in a comprehensive approach to community support. While we address immediate healthcare and sanitation needs through medical missions and infrastructure improvements, we also emphasize resilience and capacity-building to ensure communities are prepared for future challenges.”
