Wazzup Pilipinas!?

BingoPlus, the first and only live-streaming bingo in the Philippines, ramped up efforts to boost the country’s entertainment mainstream by supporting the pageantry of Binibining Pilipinas 2023 and co-presenting Vice Ganda’s comeback concert, “Your Memejesty, Queen VG” this summer.

The leading online bingo app was major sponsor of the 59th edition of the Binibining Pilipinas and sparked up coronation night by awarding the Bb. BingoPlus 2023 title to Bb. Bulacan Lorraine Jara who also received one hundred thousand pesos in cash.

Prior to finals night, BingoPlus ran an online poll in a specially dedicated BingoPlus pageant voting website that invited pageant fans to vote for their favorite Binibini. The Binibini that would garner the most votes would be awarded the Bb. BingoPlus title and would secure a ticket to the top 11 spot of the competition.

In her post-pageant interview, Bb. BingoPlus revealed that she truly enjoyed playing bingo. " I always play bingo with my tita's. This is the game we play at home whenever we have free time, Miss Jara said as she thanked all her fans who supported her in her Binibini journey. "I always feel your heartfelt support for me, and I hope sa mga next journey ko, you will always still be there for me. Thank you for voting me," she added.

For Vice Ganda’s comeback concert, co-presenter BingoPlus installed an event booth and distributed merchandise and freebies at the “Your Memejesty, Queen VG” concert venue, making sure the audience had all the necessary paraphernalia and fun items to enjoy the show. The brand was also a part of both online and on-site event promotions for the concert.

“The fun and entertainment provided by local artists like Vice Ganda are fully supported by our brand because her mission is to put smiles on audiences’ faces, and that is what BingoPlus is all about. Meanwhile the ability of the Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant to inspire and lift the spirits of Filipinos is also one of our primary goals at BingoPlus,” said Jasper Vicencio, president of AB Leisure Exponent Inc. (ABLE) that launched the BingoPlus brand.

Since its launch in 2022 BingoPlus has been focused and passionate about supporting brands that share its vision of providing quality entertainment to Filipinos.

The Social Security System (SSS) signed a memorandum of agreement with the Board of Investments (BOI) under its KaSSSangga Collect Program, advocating the social security coverage of the latter’s Contract of Service (COS) and Job Order (JO) workers.

The agreement authorizes the BOI to serve as a Coverage and Collection Partner of the SSS, who shall collect and remit the monthly Social Security (SS) and Employees’ Compensation (EC) contributions of their COS, JO and other individually paying SSS member-employees through a salary deduction scheme.

With this, their COS and JO employees will be classified as self-employed SSS members and will be able to qualify for the benefit and loan programs of the SSS through the continuous payment of their contributions.

“I am delighted to know that I can continue paying my contribution through this program of SSS,” BOI Vice Chairman and Managing Head and Undersecretary of Industry Development and Trade Policy of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Dr. Ceferino S. Rodolfo said.

He added that he will personally endorse the KaSSSangga Collect Program to other agencies such as the National Development Company (NDC), DTI, Philippine International Trading Corporation (PITC) and Competitiveness and Innovation Group (CGI).

Meanwhile, SSS NCR South Division Acting Vice President Cristine Grace B. Francisco highlighted SSS’ efforts towards the achievement of its vision of universal coverage saying, “the SSS initiated various programs to reach last mile communities and gig economy and informal sector workers, including COS and JO workers of local government units and national government agencies.”

The MOA signing was also attended by SSS Makati-Gil Puyat’s Branch Head Hoechst R. Potato, Assistant Branch Head Shirley E. Navalta, Acting Assistant Head Jerome Arreola, Junior Analyst Marion Joyce Ragua; and BOI’s Financial Administrative Service (FAS) Acting Director Estela Jimenez, and Accounting Division Officer-in-Charge Anna Mascariñas.

The KaSSSangga Collect Program, previously known as the KaltaSSS Collect Program, is open to all government entities engaging the services of COS and JO workers, who are not covered under the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS). It aims to provide workers and their families access to the seven social security programs of the SSS such as sickness, maternity, unemployment, retirement, disability, death, and funeral; and its various loan programs.
