“DigiPlus is honored to have championed the inaugural International Series Philippines. The event proved the Philippines is ready to shine as a premier global sporting destination, showcasing both our world-class talent and our renowned Filipino hospitality,” said DigiPlus chairman Eusebio H.

“The International Series Philippines marked a major milestone — not only in global and local golf history but also for the entire Philippine sports community.”
Tanco said the company’s goal was to help position the Philippines on the world stage as a hub for world-class sporting events while inspiring the next generation of Filipino athletes.
“By hosting an event of this caliber, we have shown that the Philippines can proudly stand alongside other global sporting destinations, sharing our nation’s warmth, talent, and spirit with the world,” he said.
The International Series Philippines blended elite sports with high-energy entertainment. Highlights included pre-event mall tours, press conferences, a gala night, and the culminating music festival, "Swing for the Filipino Sports Dream."
