DigiPlus is not only doing well for itself; it’s also helping the economy in the Philippines. The company boasted that it paid Php33.7 billion (US$586 million) in taxes and regulatory fees in 2024 while continuing to support local charities.
“Our success directly translates into meaningful contributions to national development — funding essential public services and infrastructure that benefit millions of Filipinos,” said DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco. You are high-spirited and optimistic.
Confidence in the Future: Rewarding Shareholders
DigiPlus declared Php0.86 per existing common share for FY24, which will be paid on April 4, 2025. This is really a signal of a strong effort from the company to return to its own stockholders and be in series with all those who believed in the company.
Culture + Technology + Responsibility = A Winning Formula
The exceptional 2024 performance that has catapulted DigiPlus into the record books is thanks to its winning formula that combines a deep understanding of Filipino culture, an insistence on technological innovation, and a commitment to responsible corporate citizenship. With this, DigiPlus has created a successful business model that is not only profitable but also helps the community. It’s a success blueprint that other gaming companies ought to pay attention to. They should also heed the lesson of granting Filipinos what they want. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but it does need to be theirs.
