The Mills Global Builds International Trade Network Around Compliance-First Customs Brokerage

 

MANILA, September 28, 2026 - The Mills Global Customs Brokerage Inc. is expanding its international network while putting compliance at the beginning of the shipment process. The Philippine company now works with 31 partners across the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia to support businesses trading across borders.

For The Mills Global, customs work starts before cargo moves. Its team reviews import requirements, permits, tariff classification, and shipping documents early, giving clients time to address questions that might otherwise surface when a shipment reaches the port.

“By the time cargo arrives, many of the decisions that affect its clearance have already been made,” said Atty. Jeanne Hazel Maulit, founder of The Mills Global. “We want to be part of those decisions earlier, so clients know what is required before they commit to a shipment.”

The international network gives Philippine exporters access to partners in their destination markets. It also supports foreign businesses entering the Philippines, where The Mills Global handles local customs and regulatory requirements.

The Mills Global’s customs work is backed by strong legal support from Maulit Law on market entry, banking arrangements, and securing import permits, alongside freight forwarding through First Harbor Global Logistics in Singapore. Together, they offer an unmatched breadth of support to businesses expanding into new markets.

The Mills Global specializes in project cargo, breakbulk shipments, oversized equipment, and dangerous goods. It also handles regulated and technical imports, including pharmaceuticals, data center equipment, and renewable energy components. Its services cover import readiness, permits, PEZA clearance, and tariff advisory.

The company also assists businesses with Board of Investments (BOI) applications and applications for available tax exemptions, including the documentation and agency coordination required for each.

“Trade becomes easier to manage when businesses understand the requirements before the cargo is on its way,” Maulit said. “That is the thinking behind our compliance-first approach.”

Casino Plus Pays Out Historic ₱122.4-M Jackpot in Full, Reinforcing Player-First Commitment

 

 Casino Plus, one of the country’s leading responsible digital entertainment platforms licensed by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), has once again demonstrated why it remains the country's most trusted online gaming destination — this time, with the seamless, secure payout of a historic ₱122,409,603 jackpot, the biggest verified jackpot in Philippine slot machine history.

The landmark payout underscores more than the sheer size of the record-breaking win. It demonstrates Casino Plus’ commitment to ensuring that legitimate player winnings are verified, processed, and paid securely and in full, in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

In an industry where players often worry as much about withdrawals as they do about winning, Casino Plus has anchored its platform on verifiable protection rather than promises.

At the center of this commitment is a ₱1-billion surety bond secured through PhilFirst Insurance — a legally binding financial guarantee that safeguards player funds and ensures the platform operates within the regulatory framework of PAGCOR. Unlike marketing assurances, a surety bond is an enforceable instrument: it stands as a financial backstop for players, backed by an independent insurer.

This layer of protection reflects a broader philosophy of financial discipline, transparency, and accountability.

Asked about why the jackpot winner chose Casino Plus, the winner, dubbed as "Dragon King" said, "Mabilis 'yung withdrawal, mabait 'yung mga staff, 'pag may mga concern sa 'yo, mabilis agad sila sumagot."

"'Yung customer service nila is good.  Sabi ko, dito na lang ako maglalaro kesa sa maghanap ako ng iba. Na-enjoy ko talaga sa Casino Plus, and maayos, parang in order 'yung system," he added.

The winner also urged other players to be responsible and be disciplined when it comes to playing.

"'Wag mong piliting manalo. Hindi natin alam kung kailan ibibigay, kung talagang para sa 'yo, ibibigay. So 'yun, mag-set ka ng limit sa sarili. Actually maganda naman sya magpalipas ng oras, personal lang, syempre," added the Dragon King.

For the gaming platform, the record jackpot represents both a historic player win and an important operational milestone—demonstrating the platform's capacity to process one of the largest verified online gaming payouts in the country's history.

During his speech at the jackpot ceremony, Casino Plus CEO Evan Spytma emphasized the gaming platform's player-centric mentality and its  mission to create fun and memorable experiences.

"That's really what we're here to create. In our platform, we guarantee that every single game that is played is fair, safe, and our withdrawals are always super fast," said Spytma."I think it bears worthwhile saying that all of the players at Casino Plus are always going to be having a great time. They're gaming responsibly, and they're always gaming within a relatively fixed, a measured amount of bets and that's really important. Responsible gaming is extremely important to us," he added.

The historic jackpot was won through Aristocrat’s Dragon Link game under Casino Plus’ Slot Machine, with the winner's identity kept confidential for personal security and privacy.

The ceremonial turnover of the ₱122.4-million jackpot was held at LaVie Resort and Casino in Manila on September 9, 2026, and was attended by representatives of PAGCOR and executives from the gaming platform.

RESPONSIBLE GAMING ADVISORY

Gaming is for entertainment purposes only. It should not be considered a source of income or a means of financial relief. Players are encouraged to play responsibly and within their means.

Winning is never guaranteed. All gaming outcomes are determined by chance. Past results, including jackpot wins, do not influence or predict future outcomes.
