FBM® Champions Night and Thanksgiving: A Celebration of Arts, Excellence, and Partnerships in the Philippines Gaming Industry

FBM® gathered Filipino partners and operators for an evening of joy, connection, and recognition during the much-anticipated Champions Night and Thanksgiving. Held at Xylo at The Palace this Wednesday, the event blended dance, comedy, music, and awards to honor the creativity, commitment, and achievements of partner bingo sites during the Bingo Friends promotion.

Hosted by the dynamic duo Papa Jackson and Giselle Sanchez, the evening counted on the presence of PAGCOR’s Chairman, Alejandro Tengco, and the FBM Brand Ambassadors Daniel Matsunaga and Daiana Menezes.

FBM Champion’s Night opened with a stunning aerial silk performance, followed by an electrifying dance set from the world champion “A Team Dance Crew.” Laughter soon took over the room with a hilarious set by the comedy pair Donekla in Tandem, leading into a more soulful moment. The Soul Siren Nina Girado took the stage, serenading the audience with her hits and providing an emotional highlight that captured the evening’s spirit of gratitude.
