True to its commitment to bringing innovative and high-performing smartphones to emerging markets, and providing support to Filipinos, one community at a time, premium smartphone and AIoT brand TECNO Mobile recently concluded its first round of CSR activities in the Philippines for 2022.
The brand celebrates everyday heroes, who power on with their day-to-day tasks in order to serve the community. For this year’s CSR activities, TECNO Mobile has partnered with Grab Philippines (GrabPH) and a number of the country’s up-and-coming content creators to reach out to local communities, inspire people, and make a difference. In line with the launch of the POVA Neo, it is hoped that this initiative will also motivate more people to participate in community outreach programs and make them see that it is not just about the size of the donation, but the sincerity to help others.
The ongoing CSR program of TECNO Mobile kicked off in 2021 with the City of Manila, the Ina ng Lupang Pangako Parish in Payatas, and the scholars of Project Malasakit as its beneficiaries.
TECNO Mobile Gives Back to Grab PH Riders & Drivers
GrabPH riders and drivers have been lauded as true heroes of the pandemic over the last two years, helping make day-to-day life easier for thousands of Filipinos by making things accessible, even from home. These drivers face various challenges each day they spend on the road, but they never stop moving and continue to provide their much-needed services to the community.
Recognizing their efforts, TECNO Mobile celebrates the everyday contributions of GrabPH by giving back to the company’s hardworking drivers and delivery riders. The meaningful collaboration between TECNO Mobile and GrabPH is reflective of the positive message that the POVA Neo campaign aims to impart.
A donation handover took place at the Grab Philippines Headquarters in Makati City last 09 April 2022, coinciding with the superapp’s “Papugay” event, which the company mounts each quarter to show appreciation to, and recognize their outstanding driver-partners. As a beneficiary, GrabPH received sixty-five (65) units of POVA Neo smartphones. The smartphone’s large battery capacity is perfect for the riders and drivers of GrabPH and will be a big help as they navigate through the city, and provide excellent on-time service. The donation was received by GrabPH Papugay awardees Grabfood riders Richard Aguilar and Michael Sales, and Grab drivers Ricky Dalansay and Arc Cabuello.
