Smart Communications, Inc. has strengthened its partnership with Telepreneur Corp (TPC) to provide livelihood opportunities for Filipinos through prepaid load products. TPC executives, led by President Mariel Astudillo and Founder Lorenzo Rellosa, kicked off 2025 in Quezon City, attracting hundreds of TPC members and one lucky member from the Visayas winning a brand-new car in a raffle draw.
“We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Smart and TNT for their unwavering support. We have been in partnership with them since day 1, and they have seen the growth and success of TPC,” said Astudillo.
Smart and TNT representatives also presented their 2025 plans and offerings to help boost the income of TPC members nationwide. On top of that, Smart continuously expands and enhances its mobile network, covering 97% of the population nationwide, enabling Filipinos to be more productive, entertained, and stay connected while on the go with its 4G/LTE and 5G connectivity.
“This has been our longstanding commitment to one of our biggest partners not only in making Smart and TNT load products more accessible to Filipinos nationwide, but more importantly, in providing decent livelihood opportunities to our fellow kababayans across the nation,” said Christian So, Assistant Vice President and OIC-Head of National Key Accounts at Smart.
In 2024, Smart – under its eBizNovation program — upskilled TPC members in digital marketing, with a focus on influencer marketing to help them build strong personal brands, craft compelling messages, and leverage social media to expand their reach and grow their business.
These initiatives with TPC form part of PLDT and Smart’s push to provide connectivity to all and build a more inclusive digital economy and are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth and SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.
