Champion for a cause: Tatay Igno’s journey

DT

Gaming platform GameZone is spotlighting one of its most compelling champions, Tatay Igno, as it rolls out its rebranded GameZone Tour and entertainment push, anchored on responsible gaming and real-life stories of perseverance.

Tatay Igno, the tournament’s oldest winner, joined the GTCC: Summer Showdown with a goal beyond the prize—to fund his wife’s medical treatment. His unexpected run to the championship has since become the centerpiece of a new campaign, including a television commercial shoot featuring Vice Ganda, highlighting both his victory and personal journey.

Now with his wife cancer-free, Tatay Igno’s story underscores the brand’s push for purpose-driven storytelling, as GameZone and parent firm DigiPlus expand their platform with new offerings aimed at a broader, community-focused audience.
