having access to his bespoke fan-celebrity programmes powered by GCOX. The
launch will take place on 1 September 2019, at the Araneta Coliseum of Manila.
To give his fans the most memorable experience, GCOX will be producing the
Manny Pacquiao Live In Concert 2019 to conduct this special launch. This is the
first time “Pacman” is having a solo concert in the Philippines.

 

“While Senator
Manny is busy serving his people, we hope to help him reach out to his fans and
engage them regularly. By having his PAC Tokens, they become a privileged group
who will have opportunities to connect with him on a whole new level. GCOX will
provide such a revolutionary fan-celebrity engagement platform,” says Sir Dr.
Jeffrey Lin.

 

Subject to
fulfilling licensing requirements, GCOX is planning to introduce Pacpay, a
digital payment system that will allow fans to make purchases at merchant
outlets all around the world, receive incredible discounts, enjoy attractive
rewards while using their PAC Tokens.

 

“Through this
robust ecosystem, I will be able to help my fans save money while promoting
good value products and driving traffic to merchants who support me. Everybody
wins in this ecosystem. This is my opportunity to give back to the community
that has made me who I am today,” says Senator Manny Pacquiao.

 

Fans will be
able to download a new fan-celebrity edutainment mobile application this September
to connect directly with their favourite celebrities, including “Pacman”
himself. This fan-celebrity edutainment app, powered by GCOX, aims to be a
game-changer in the global entertainment industry, providing a unique platform
to bring celebrities and fans closer like never before.

 

“By
participating in regular ‘Fan-Connect challenges’ initiated by Senator Manny
Pacquiao himself, talented fans will have the opportunity to be discovered by
the movers and shakers of the global entertainment industry. They may have
Celeb-Connect opportunities to receive gifts, loyalty rewards, purchase
exclusive autographed commemorative items and enjoy privileges from global
merchants supporting “Pacman”.

 

“There will also
be opportunities to learn from me via live streaming sessions or receive
motivational videos to learn how I have overcome adversities in life to become
who I am today. PAC Tokens may also be used to support philanthropic and
charity causes that I champion. Together with my fans, we can help more people
in need and improve the lives of others,” says Senator Manny Pacquiao.
