Philippine online casino giant DigiPlus Interactive Corp. has appointed Hu Jianguo to its board of directors, effective February 17th, following the resignation of Tang Yong from the board and several key committees, according to a statement filed with the Philippine Stock Exchange.
On the same day, the board accepted Tang’s resignation from the Nomination Committee, Compensation Committee, and Executive Committee and named him as a board adviser. Hu was appointed to fill the resulting vacancies.
The board decision positions Hu, also known as Tommy Hu, as a key figure in DigiPlus’ corporate governance as the company continues to expand its digital entertainment operations in the Philippines and abroad. Hu brings more than two decades of experience in platform development, gaming operations, and enterprise-scale technology leadership.
According to the company, Tang tendered his resignation on February 17th, 2026, for personal reasons, and the board convened immediately to address the leadership transition. DigiPlus said the appointment ensures continuity in oversight and strategic direction.
Hu is currently the Chief Executive Officer of DigiPlus Interactive Corp., a position he assumed in June 2025. Since joining the company, he has played what DigiPlus described as a ‘behind-the-scenes architect’ role in transforming the group from a land-based gaming operator into a technology-driven digital entertainment brand.
Before becoming CEO, Hu helped launch and scale BingoPlus into the country’s leading digital bingo platform. The company said he promoted a ‘player-first strategy’ and supported the development of mobile-first, responsibly managed gaming platforms used by millions of Filipinos.
DigiPlus credits Hu with embedding a culture of innovation across teams and technologies while modernizing internal systems and product offerings. His work also included expanding the company’s portfolio into a broader entertainment ecosystem that combines software performance with local market relevance.
Hu holds a master’s degree in software engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. He began his career building scalable technology infrastructure in Asia, including serving in a senior technical role at Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
The company said Hu’s appointment supports its next phase of growth, which includes expanding into regulated international markets while strengthening product innovation and player protection standards.
