Online gaming platform provider PhilWeb Corporation has appointed Philippine businessman Lance Gokongwei as its new Chairman of the Board of Directors, replacing Crisanto Roy B. Alcid.

The move comes just a month after Gokongwei joined as a director of the company, following a PHP2 billion (US$32 million)

investment into PhilWeb. The investment followed an ownership transfer early this year, a board revamp, new partnerships focused on Philippine gaming operators and the unveiling of a new visual identity.

The shift in leadership also comes after PhilWeb posted a 96% yearly increase in revenue for 2Q26, reaching PHP352.4 million (US$5.7 million)
