BingoPlus’ brand ambassador and supporting cast of the film “The Kingdom,” Piolo Pascual, poses for the red carpet at the MIFF in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California

BingoPlus, the country’s most comprehensive digital entertainment platform, reeled in major sponsorship for the Manila International Film Festival (MIFF) as support to strengthen the Philippine cinema in the international scene at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

MIFF is an annual event that promotes and honors Philippine-made motion pictures. Its goal is to showcase the craftiness and quality of Filipinos when it comes to different genres of film. The event was supposed to take place earlier in January but was postponed because of the tragic wildfires that happened in the state of Southern California.

Important personages in the film industry answers questions during the MIFF press conference

A press conference was held for select media partners before the special screening of Eraserheads: Combo on the Run Documentary, Tribute to Genghis Khan, The Debut, and Love Hurts.

Tribute to Genghis Khan is among the zenith of the screening as it celebrates its 75th anniversary when it hits the international screen. From pinilakang tabing to the global scene, Genghis Khan, directed by Manuel Conde, was the first Filipino picture that was introduced to international film festivals in Venice way back in 1952.

 

Piolo Pascual and several known artists answers query during the event

Additionally, a Director’s Breakfast and a Director’s Guild of America Tour were held at the Cavatina Restaurant in West Hollywood, California, before the second screening. The second set included the film The Kingdom, where BingoPlus’ brand ambassador, Piolo Pascual, acted as Sulayman “Sulo” Tagum.

The film portrays the Philippines where it wasn't colonized by invaders. Piolo Pascual’s acting was praiseworthy, which resulted in a dual nomination for best actor, and he was awarded the Gatpuno Antonio J. Villegas cultural award at the Metro Manila Film Festival.

The quality of Philippine cinema is worthy of recognition in different countries around the globe. And through its sponsorship, BingoPlus is inspired to continue to support this advocacy where Filipinos can showcase their skill and efficiency through reels.

DigiPlus Interactive Corp. pioneered digital entertainment in the Philippines. It introduced leading platforms BingoPlus and ArenaPlus, widely known for their engaging experiences in interactive gaming and sports entertainment. DigiPlus also operates SpinPlus, and GameZone, with more to come. For more information, visit: www.digiplus.com.ph.
