PLDT Global Corporation, the international unit of leading telco and digital services provider PLDT Inc., has announced a strategic collaboration with Staffhouse International Resources (Staffhouse), a top deploying agency for Filipino workers overseas. This cooperation aims to enhance the connectivity and support services available to overseas Filipino workers through the Tindahan ni Bossing (TinBo) app, an essential digital companion for OFWs.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with Staffhouse to bring digital convenience and seamless access to the global Filipino workforce at every level of their journey. TinBo is more than just an app; it's a lifeline that connects OFWs to their loved ones and essential services back home," said Albert V. Villa-Real, President & CEO at PLDT Global.
Exclusive benefits for OFWs deployed through Staffhouse
Under this partnership, OFWs deployed through Staffhouse who download and register on the TinBo app will receive a free 6-month subscription to the Smart Virtual Number (SVN) and a ₱399 mWell Health Pass voucher. The SVN subscription allows OFWs to maintain a Philippine virtual mobile number, access OTPs from Philippine e-wallets, banks and government apps, access the OWWA Helpline 1348 and CFO Anti Human-Trafficking Hotline 1343 for free, and will allow them to receive calls and texts at local rates.

As Staffhouse marks over 25 years of industry leadership, with a strong track record in ethical recruitment, and a non-fee charging policy, these initiatives reflect its commitment to providing the best employment opportunities to Filipino skilled workers and professionals worldwide. They also reinforce Staffhouse's dedication to supporting worker welfare, even after deployment.
"Our partnership with PLDT Global underscores our commitment to providing ethical recruitment and comprehensive support to Filipino workers. By integrating TinBo into our pre-departure orientation seminar, we ensure that the overseas Filipino workers we deploy are not only prepared for their new roles but also have the tools they need to stay connected and manage their finances effectively," said Rocky Dela Vega, Chief Strategy Officer at Staffhouse.
This partnership marks a significant step towards empowering OFWs with the digital tools they need to thrive in their overseas endeavors.
Powered by PLDT Global—PLDT's international unit—TinBo is a one-stop online marketplace that enables Filipinos overseas with relevant and value-packed products and services catered to address their connectivity, bills payment, digital banking, entertainment, and gifting needs. This is aligned with the much broader goal of PLDT to serve Filipinos in every corner of the world.
