Thousands of Filipino seafarers and their families have bridged vast distances across oceans with ease for over the past decade-and-a-half on the back of the enduring partnership between PeopleLink Inc., a member company of the Magsaysay Group, and PLDT Enterprise, the corporate business arm of PLDT Inc.
In 2023, a total of 578,626 Filipino seafarers were deployed, marking a significant increase from 385,239 in the previous year, according to the Department of Migrant Workers. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas attributed around 21 percent of the USD33.49 billion in cash remittances from overseas Filipino workers to sea-based workers, including seafarers and hospitality staff on cruise ships, contributing approximately USD6.9 billion to the gross domestic product.
Lagdameo highlighted Bizload, a solution which facilitates the distribution of mobile loads to Magsaysay seafarers and employees, as an example of one of the services that could be tailor-fit for businesses.
