DigiPlus Foundation, the community-action arm of Philippines-listed DigiPlus Interactive Corp, says it “continues to champion inclusive learning” among young people as part of its work.
It is doing so via a partnership with a local youth-led volunteer group called Sikat Aurora, which focuses its work on the province of Aurora in the eastern part of Central Luzon region.
“Following six months of sustained support for Sikat Aurora’s … activity that brings reading sessions and learning spaces closer to children in local communities, DigiPlus Foundation and GameZone surprised the group with a new mobile library designed to support their mission beyond a single location,” DigiPlus Foundation said in a press release.
“The mobile library will allow Sikat Aurora volunteers to roam across Aurora province, reaching more children with books, learning materials, and storytelling activities,” the organisation added.
DigiPlus operates for the Philippine domestic market the BingoPlus platform, the sportsbook ArenaPlus, and GameZone, a platform for casual and arcade gaming.
According to the DigiPlus Foundation’s announcement, the donation “strengthens Sikat Aurora’s efforts to uplift non-formal education as a vital complement to classroom learning, especially for children with limited access to books and educational resources”.
“By taking learning on the road, the mobile library transforms storytelling sessions into a scalable, sustainable programme that can reach far-flung communities across the province,” DigiPlus Foundation stated.
The update cited RJ Belen, founder of Sikat Aurora, saying that the group was “truly grateful for the trust and support of DigiPlus Foundation”.
“This mobile library will help us reach more young learners in Aurora and strengthen our mission of nurturing a love for reading,” he added. “Through non-formal education, we help support what children learn in school and create spaces where learning feels accessible, enjoyable, and empowering.”
Neil Orillaneda, programme manager for technology education of DigiPlus Foundation, emphasised in prepared remarks the importance of ensuring those educational opportunities.
“Our goal is simple: no learner left behind. By supporting initiatives like Sikat Aurora’s mobile library, we help bridge learning gaps and ensure that children, regardless of location or circumstance, have access to educational resources that support their growth,” Mr Orillaneda said.
According to the release, the mobile library donation was part of a PHP1-million (US$17,247) contribution from GameZone during the International Series Philippines golf tournament in late 2025, channelled through DigiPlus Foundation to support a range of community initiatives nationwide.
