BingoPlus, your comprehensive entertainment platform in the country, has once again amped up the fun and entertainment for Filipinos with a special appearance at the Kadayawan Festival 2024.
The Kadayawan Festival plays an important role in the culture of Davaoeños. This annual festival focuses on celebrating life, culture, and bountiful harvest every third week of August. It features numerous lively events like street dancing, a floral float parade, street parties, and concerts. One of the event highlights is the opportunity to experience the culture and tradition of the 11 tribes of Davao City, each tribe showcasing their arts and lifestyles.
Taking on the role of the festival’s platinum sponsor, BingoPlus made sure to leave an impression on locals and festival-goers alike by matching the energy of the celebration. The week-long festival saw BingoPlus bring in its own brand of excitement as it took part in one of the festival’s major events: the “Pamulak sa Kadayawan 2024”, an annual festival float parade held on August 18. It even decorated the parade route with bold outdoor streamers that matched its Kadayawan Festival-themed float. Notably, the BingoPlus float carried the BingoPlus Foundation logo as well. BingoPlus similarly joined the “Pananam sa Kadayawan” daily show, where brand mascot BingBing performed alongside with exciting games and prizes.
BingoPlus also took part in the “Dula sa Kadayawan”, an annual cultural and sports events for Moros and indigenous people, as an awarding body. The Ata Tribe, overall champion of the Indigenous People’s category, and the Kagan Tribe, overall champion of the Moro category, each received the BingoPlus Choice Award and Php 10,000 from the brand.

Both groups received a 30,000-peso-cash prize as well.
BingoPlus also hosted several shows and concerts at Magsaysay Park and San Pedro Square throughout the festival week from August 16 to 18. Each stage showcased performances and game segments where attendees were invited to play with exciting prizes. BingoPlus streamed the shows on its Facebook and Youtube accounts, ensuring people could enjoy the Kadayawan from the comfort of their homes while giving them the chance to win Php 200,000 worth of prizes through games set online.
One of the other activities BingoPlus organized was “Adto Ta Ug Zumba sa Kadayawan” at Rizal Park, where event-goers were invited to join the Zumba exercises for a chance to win some prizes. The zumba segment featured a small raffle with a grand prize of Php 10,000 for one winner and a consolation prize of Php 1,000 for five other people. Zumba participants were invited to play Roleta and Pop the Balloon as well, both games giving away cash prizes worth Php 5,000 each.
