PLDT Global extends support to Filipinos in Saudi Arabia amid ongoing incident

In response to the ongoing situation in Saudi Arabia, PLDT Global is reinforcing its commitment to supporting Filipinos in the affected areas by providing essential connectivity services that enable them to stay informed and connected with their loved ones and relevant government agencies.

PLDT Global, through its digital platform Tindahan ni Bossing (TinBo), continues to extend support to overseas Filipinos with its existing free calls to key government hotlines. Filipinos in Saudi Arabia can use their TinBo Smart Virtual Number to contact the 1348 DMW-OWWA Helpline and the 1343 Actionline Against Human Trafficking at no cost.

The service allows overseas Filipinos seeking assistance, information, or guidance to directly reach government agencies tasked with providing support to migrant workers and their families. Customers who need help accessing the free calling feature may contact TinBo through Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp.

In addition, PLDT Global is opening free calls via the Smart Virtual Number to PLDT landlines, Smart, TNT, and other Philippine mobile numbers, allowing Filipinos in Saudi Arabia to stay connected with their families, loved ones, and support networks back home during this challenging period.

The initiatives underscore the PLDT Group's commitment to leveraging technology and connectivity to support Filipinos wherever they are, particularly during emergencies and unforeseen situations.

PLDT Global continues to monitor developments and remain ready to provide further assistance to customers as needed.
