The Christmas season is the longest and the most cherished holiday among Filipinos anywhere in the world. Recognizing its importance, PLDT Global Corporation, or PLDT Global, is intensifying its initiative this year to make this season even more special for global Pinoys through TINBO, or Tindahan ni Bossing.
Powered by PLDT Global, TINBO is the one-stop marketplace that enables Filipinos worldwide to buy loads, send food gift vouchers, healthcare PINs from well, and even gaming PINs for their families in the Philippines.
They can also acquire a Smart virtual number through TINBO, enabling them to receive OTPs from their e-wallets and e-banks in the Philippines, like Maya.
TINBO also provides access to a convenient and secure online bill payment from abroad to their Philippine utilities and sends e-gifts, medicines, and other digital services while outside the Philippines.
"We uniquely delight our fellow Filipinos worldwide by offering them exciting rewards and opportunities to win prizes.
These gifts are not just tokens of appreciation; they are practical aids for their families back home, opening doors to livelihood opportunities or bringing joy through thoughtful presents," Albert V. Villa-Real, PLDT Global president and CEO, said.
With this in mind, PLDT Global is launching its Register and Load to Win Promo in time for the holidays. To join, overseas Filipinos must register at TINBO (www.tinbo.ph) to get one raffle entry.
They can get additional entries for every P100 Smart Prepaid, Talk N Text, and Smart Bro load transaction on TINBO. The more load transactions, the more chances of winning.
A lucky customer can take home a brand-new motorcycle for the grand prize. Also up for grabs are brand-new mobile phones, P20,000 worth of grocery e-vouchers, and a chest freezer for business or personal use.
The raffle of winners will be on 18 January 2024, and the list will be posted on the TINBO website and official social media accounts on 29 January.
