PhilWeb Corporation, a company listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol WEB, has announced a new partnership with Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment, Inc., the company that runs Okada Manila. Together, they’re launching a brand new online gaming platform called “OKADA PLAY,” according to a press release dated March 19, 2026.
What Is This Partnership About?
Think of this partnership like two friends combining their strengths to build something new. PhilWeb is really good at creating online gaming technology and running gaming platforms. Okada Manila is famous for being a fancy, high-quality casino and resort. Now, they’re working together to bring Okada Manila’s premium brand into the online world.
Under this agreement, PhilWeb will provide everything needed to run OKADA PLAY. This includes:
- Gaming content (the actual games people can play)
- The technology platform (the system that makes everything work)
- Customer service support (people who can help users if they have problems)
- Marketing support (helping to tell people about the platform)
Why Is This Important?
This partnership is significant because it shows how traditional casinos (the physical buildings where people go to gamble) are now moving into the digital space where people can play games online. Okada Manila is already a well-known luxury resort in the Philippines, and now they want to reach people who prefer playing games on their phones or computers.
Brian Ng, who is the President of PhilWeb Corporation, explained that this partnership shows their commitment to providing top-quality gaming solutions to industry leaders. He mentioned that they’re helping extend a globally recognized luxury gaming brand into the online space.
Meanwhile, Nobuki Sato, the President and COO of Okada Manila, said that OKADA PLAY is a strategic move to grow their digital gaming presence and reach new types of players while maintaining the premium quality that the Okada brand is known for.
