Full Phils receives a generous donation from PLDT-Smart Foundation, Metro Pacific Investments Foundation, and One Meralco Foundation during the Kapangyawan Festival
PLDT Global Corporation (PLDT Global), the international arm of the Philippines’ leading telco and digital services provider PLDT Inc. (PLDT) has rolled out several initiatives to uplift the lives of Filipinos in Hong Kong.
“As we celebrate Philippine Independence Day, we hope to give our fellow Filipinos in Hong Kong the freedom to enjoy their hard-earned money and send it to their loved ones hassle-free. We want to empower them and their families by bringing in digital solutions that improve their lives and strengthen their connection back home,” said Albert V. Villa-Real, President and CEO at PLDT Global.
To help overseas Filipinos in Hong Kong send their support seamlessly to their loved ones back home, TINBO (Tindahan ni Bossing) has brought in the newest cash-in solution for Filipinos in Hong Kong via the ePadala service. Through TINBO ePadala, powered by Starpay Corporation (Starpay), Filipinos overseas can directly send cash-in vouchers in P1000, P3000, or P5000 denominations to their family member’s electronic wallets and bank accounts for a very minimal transaction fee. This service is especially relevant, especially during emergencies when they need to immediately send financial assistance to their loved ones in the Philippines.
A heart for OFWs
With a heart for overseas Filipinos, TINBO together with PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF), Metro Pacific Investments Foundation, Inc. (MPIF), One Meralco Foundation (OMF) and Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan turned over a ₱1 million-peso donation to Full Phils Association, a non-profit organization founded by 16-year old Lauro Emilio Baja, with the mission of empowering overseas Filipinos in Hong Kong by providing scholarships through online education. The donation will fund the enrollment fees of selected OFWs who would like to finish their college education online with the organization’s partner learning institutions in the Philippines.
A former OFW himself, Chairman Pangilinan has always supported initiatives that benefit these modern-day heroes. “Overseas Filipino workers are among the most important constituents of the country’s economy and we are glad to have this opportunity to help our kababayans improve themselves through education and hopefully uplift their lives as a result.”
