In a powerful tribute to love, family, and inclusivity, PLDT Global Corporation (PLDT Global), through its digital platform Tindahan ni Bossing (TinBo), has created a video tribute to celebrate both Father’s Day and Pride Month this June. The moving video tells the story of a father and his daughter who lives overseas and is a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. Despite the distance and differences, the story captures how love, acceptance, and “alaga” (care) can transcend borders. Through the TinBo app, the daughter overseas finds meaningful ways to stay connected with her father, proving that unconditional love always finds a way.
“This story is a reflection of what TinBo truly stands for — alaga that is inclusive, resilient, and rooted in love. We want to honor all fathers and families, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community, by showing that every expression of love deserves to be celebrated,” said PLDT Global President and CEO Albert V. Villa-Real. To make the celebration even more meaningful, TinBo is also offering exclusive discounts on select food, e-commerce, and streaming e-vouchers for its users. Filipinos abroad can download the TinBo app via Google Play or the App Store or visit www.tinbo.ph to start sharing the love with their families in the Philippines. These PLDT Global and TinBo initiatives align with parent company PLDT’s broader commitment to diversity and inclusion. PLDT has an anti-discrimination policy in place and has also been active in enabling its workforce with inclusivity learning sessions to foster a safe, respectful, and empowering environment for all.
