PLDT Global, through its platform TINBO (Tindahan ni Bossing), has expanded its digital offerings with online shopping and food e-gift vouchers for Filipinos overseas.
“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,” said Albert Villa-Real, president and chief executive officer of PLDT Global, the international retail arm of PLDT Inc.
This enables overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) to purchase Lazada and Shopee e-gift vouchers for their families and loved ones in the Philippines via TINBO.
OFWs can also buy and send Lazada or Shopee vouchers to their loved ones as gifts — a convenient and more practical alternative to the traditional balikbayan boxes, saving OFWs time and money, PLDT Global said.
The e-gift vouchers allow the recipients to buy the items that they like from online shopping apps, it added.
Powered by PLDT Global, TINBO is the one-stop marketplace that enables Filipinos around the world to buy load and send food vouchers, e-gifts, healthcare PINs from mWell, and gaming PINs for their families in the Philippines.
TINBO enables overseas Filipinos access to a convenient and secured online bill payment platform for their Philippine utilities, and other digital services while outside the Philippines.
PLDT Global has also worked with the PLDT-Smart Foundation and the Asian Carriers Conference to extend grants to deserving OFWs, offering them opportunities to upskill or support their growing businesses back home.
