This celebration marked the culmination of the FBM Champion Festival promo’s success from September to October, recognizing the top-performing bingo sites’ results.
This year, FBM Champion’s Night blended the celebration of operator accomplishments during recent FBM promotions with a Thanksgiving Party.

The evening began with a message from Pepe Costa, FBM’s Country Manager for the Philippines, who said, “It is important to celebrate the achievements and success of our many bingo operators nationwide and honor those bingo employees who have gone above and beyond.
“Remember three things: we are here to celebrate our blessings, our friendships, and our achievements.”
PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco also spoke, stating, “I would like to thank FBM. With your commitment to supporting the needs and goals of your licensees, I believe these industries will now be able to achieve better sales and revenues. Thank you for not only thinking of yourselves but also for thinking of all your licensees.”
The duo Papa Jackson and Giselle Sanchez hosted the evening, energizing the audience, while FBM Ambassadors Daniel Matsunaga and Kylie Verzosa also made special appearances.
The FBM Hall of Champions awards opened the agenda, recognizing bingo venues for their exceptional performance in key areas such as deposits, registrations, social media engagement and activations for FBM E-Motion. Each site received special certificates and cash prizes in recognition of their contributions to FBM E-Motion’s success. Following this, exclusive FBM plaques were awarded to operators, celebrating their dedication and positive results during the FBM Champion Festival promo. The night also featured raffle draws with cash prizes and special gifts.
Musical performances were a highlight of the Champion’s Night. Marcelito Pomoy, finalist on America’s Got Talent and grand winner of Pilipinas Got Talent, delivered a stunning performance. Michael Pangilinan followed with a captivating live show, bringing the ideal musical finale to the event.
By honoring each partner’s hard work and dedication, FBM reaffirmed its commitment to setting new standards of excellence and innovation in the industry.
