DigiPlus secures spot in Fortune list of fastest-growing firms
DigiPlus Interactive Corp. (DigiPlus) has secured its spot in the Fortune Southeast Asia 500 list, making it as one of the region's largest and fastest-growing companies by revenue.
The digital entertainment leader moved up more than 259 notches from last year, reflecting sustained growth in its 2024 financial performance.
This also solidified its status as a leading force when it comes to the Philippine gaming and entertainment landscape.
'Being part of Fortune's list is a reflection of the trust we've earned and the impact we deliver,' DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco said in a press release.
'From building world-class gaming platforms, to pioneering self-exclusion tools, we are shaping a safer, more vibrant digital entertainment industry,' he added.
The ranking marks DigiPlus' second consecutive year on the prestigious list, which names the 500 largest companies in Southeast Asia by revenue.
The sharp climb reflects the company's 'standout 2024 performance,' which was achieved through the help of the ongoing demand for its flagship entertainment platforms BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone.
This also showed the firm's successful market expansion and deep commitment to innovation, regulation, and corporate responsibility.
In 2024, the company paid P33.7 billion in taxes and regulatory fees, which funded government programs in public health, education, and infrastructure.
Its platforms also led the way in responsible gaming, with in-app self-exclusion tools that enable players to cap deposits and set gaming time limits.
Meanwhile, DigiPlus is allocating P150 million for social impact initiatives this year through its social development arm, BingoPlus Foundation, for programs in technology education, healthcare, and community resilience. — BAP, GMA Integrated News

40 PH companies in Fortune Southeast Asia 500 list
Forty companies from the Philippines were included in the Fortune Southeast Asia 500 list for 2025, which ranks the 500 biggest companies in the region based on their revenues, at the average exchange rate during the year. According to Fortune, the latest list shows a snapshot of a region that it described as 'ready to take advantage' of shifts in the global supply chain, and booming industries such as mining, electric vehicles, and artificial intelligence. This year's list was topped for the second straight year by Singapore-headquartered Trafigura Group with $243.201 billion. It was followed by Thailand's PTT with $87.635 billion, Indonesia's Pertamina with $75.327 billion, and Singapore-based Wilmar International with $67.379 billion, and Olam Group with $42.028 billion. Revenue and profit figures for the companies reporting in their local currency were converted to US dollars at the average exchange rate during each company's fiscal year, with the minimum revenue threshold set at $349.4 million. The collective companies on the 2025 list recorded $1.82 trillion in revenue in 2024, higher than the $1.79 trillion in 2023. 'Together, the Southeast Asia 500 companies are playing an increasingly important role in global supply chains — capturing manufacturing capacity from shifting from China, which is drawing significant capital flows and reshaping global trade dynamics,' Fortune said.

PAL relaunches cargo business amid 'digital-era' logistics
Philippine Airlines (PAL) on Tuesday announced it has rebranded its freight and logistics business division into PAL Cargo, reflecting the flag carrier's efforts towards digital transformation. "In today's digital-first economy, our revitalized business reflects PAL Cargo's support for digital innovation, broader reach, and tailored logistics solutions that help local entrepreneurs grow and compete in both local and global markets," said Jason Siy, PAL vice president for cargo. The airline said PAL Cargo offers a broad range of freight services tailored to individual, freight forwarders, and corporate and big business needs. It transports a varied type of cargo from high-value commodities, pharmaceuticals, e-commerce, and perishables, among many others. The flag carrier said its cargo unit also follows strict handling practices, including International Air Transport Association (IATA) standards in pet transport, as well as security escorts for high-value cargo. These items are the last to be loaded and the first to be offloaded upon arrival. It also assigns security teams for charter flights. With partners like Airspeed and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), PAL Cargo is also making the shipping of small business products in the Philippines and to overseas markets easier. A formal partnership with the DTI will be inked within the next months, it said. "Through partnerships and our expanding cargo network, we aim to support both domestic entrepreneurs and the Philippine export industry. Even in areas we don't currently fly to, our global partnerships allow us to extend our services and connect their businesses to the world," Siy said. The airline said PAL Cargo is developing a mobile-friendly platform to expand online services to international cargo. It is also set to launch its Port-to-Door delivery service, expanding its current airport-to-airport transport services. Further, the airline is planning to integrate PAL's Mabuhay Miles, allowing PAL Cargo customers to earn miles for their cargo transactions. PAL's primary cargo terminal is based at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila, supported by major cargo hubs in Clark, Cebu, and Davao. "This extensive network allows PAL Cargo to provide efficient, end-to-end logistics solutions for customers across the archipelago and beyond," Siy said. — VDV, GMA Integrated News
