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.

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

that has made me who I am today," says Senator Manny Pacquiao.

himself. This fan-celebrity edutainment app, powered by GCOX, aims to be a
game-changer in the global entertainment industry, providing a unique platform

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
