PLDT Global Corporation (PLDT Global), through its TINBO (Tindahan ni Bossing) platform, has expanded its suite of digital services with online shopping and food e-gift vouchers for its customers.
“This is another way for us at PLDT Global and TINBO to engage with our Filipino communities overseas by providing them with more options to care for their loved ones back home,” Albert V. Villa-Real, president and chief executive at PLDT Global, the international retail arm of PLDT.
PLDT Global said overseas Filipinos can now purchase Lazada and Shopee e-gift vouchers for their families and loved ones in the Philippines via TINBO.
Powered by PLDT Global, TINBO is the one-stop marketplace that enables Filipinos around the world to buy load, send food vouchers, e-gifts, healthcare PINs from mWell, and even gaming PINs for their families in the Philippines.
They can acquire a Smart virtual number (SVN) through TINBO, enabling them to receive OTPs from their e-wallets and e-banks in the Philippines like Maya. TINBO also enables overseas Filipinos access to a convenient and secured online bills payment platform for their Philippine utilities, and other digital services while outside the Philippines.
Meanwhile, PLDT Global has strengthened its partnership with the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) to expand the reach of their services and provide global Filipinos with relevant tools that empower them digitally.
PLDT Global has also worked with the PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF) and the Asian Carriers Conference to extend grants to deserving OFWs, offering them opportunities to up-skill or support their growing businesses back home.
“Our partnership is a gift that has given us the chance to make a positive impact in the lives of OFWs, from providing them with free wifi access at the DMW to awarding up-skilling certifications and farming grants, the Filipino community abroad can count on PLDT Global to provide reliable and customized solutions to serve their best interests,” added Villa-Real.
Aside from the collaboration with DMW, PLDT Global has also explored a wider cooperation with the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) to empower and advocate for the welfare of OFWs. This has enabled PLDT Global to serve as OWWA’s partner in providing services to OFWs through access to OWWA Hotline 1348 and digital services on TINBO.
“With the help of our partners, this year opened many doors and opportunities for us to further serve global Filipinos and raise awareness about the digital services available through the TINBO platform, ultimately assisting them in caring for their families back home,” added Villa-Real.
