Smart, TPC continue to enable livelihood opportunities for Filipinos

PLDT wireless unit Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) has strengthened its partnership with Telepreneur Corp (TPC) to continue to enable livelihood opportunities for Filipinos through prepaid load products.




Kicking off 2025 in a members-only event in Quezon City, TPC executives led by President Mariel Astudillo and Founder Lorenzo Rellosa recapped their 2024 and rallied the small- and medium-sized business owners for the new year. Hundreds of TPC members attended the annual event, and one lucky member from the Visayas also won a brand-new car in the 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 in providing connectivity to all and building 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.
