“We are originally started as an animation studio, subcontracting for other Asian and European studioes,” says ms. Jackeline Chua, managing Director and Co-founder of Synergy99. “We then moved to creating art for video games, and eventually started creating mobile games of our own.

“Looking back, we found ourselves drawing inspiration a lot from Filipino culture, says Ms. Chua. “That’s when we realized our mission-to use our talent to directly tell the story of the Filipino people.”
