PLDT’s international arm PLDT Global Corporation (PGC) continues to make the lives of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) better through its partnership with Beam&Go, an inclusive and digital marketplace.
The Beam&Go Marketplace is an alternative to remittance, where OFWs can purchase the basic needs such as groceries, medicines, and food of their families back home and manage their household budget efficiently.
“This is not the first time that PLDT Global and Beam&Go are working together to serve overseas Filipinos. That’s why this partnership is a great privilege for us because it serves as a testament to our commitment of bringing like-minded businesses closer to our kababayans. PLDT Global recognizes the contribution of migrant Filipinos to the national economy, that’s why we strive to lighten their load through digital services that support their and their families’ ever-changing lifestyle,” said Albert V. Villa-Real, President and CEO at PGC.
Under this partnership, OFWs can access Beam&Go’s Supermarket Electronic Gift Certificates (eGCs) by using PGC’s digital distribution platform, Vortex, accessed through www.myvortex1.com. They can start by becoming a Vortex partner and gift these eGCs to their families to use in supermarkets located in the Philippines.
“This partnership is an avenue for Beam&Go to expand its value to OFWs’ journey. That is one of the main reasons why we are very thrilled and grateful to be continuing this path with PLDT Global,” said Albert Christian Go, Chief Operations Officer at Beam&Go. “Together, we can make a bigger impact to the lives of OFWs and their families and bring them a better future back home within their reach.”
Beam&Go’s wide variety of products and services and PLDT Global’s evolving tools will be the OFWs’ bridge into diversifying their source of income, budgeting their savings, and making financial plans with their families.
This initiative for overseas Filipinos falls under PLDT’s group-wide commitment to Awesome Customer Experience and Quality of Service, one of the pillars that comprise the company’s sustainability framework. Helping the Philippines attain the UN Sustainable Development Goal #9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, PLDT Global empowers OFWs and their families with mobile solutions to help them better manage their finances, bringing them closer to their dreams.
