A sari-sari store owner from Valencia, Negros Oriental, wins a brand-new motorcycle through Smart Communications Inc. (Smart)’s Ka-Partner Rewards program. This is a yearly incentive program that allows Smart’s partner retailers to enjoy instant rewards and exclusive perks by using the Smart Ka-Partner App.

Shirley Sabanal Din, 44, a load retailer for over 20 years, expressed her gratitude for this unexpected gift, which is a great help for their family and small business. “We will be using this as our service vehicle for our daily errands and to safely bring our child to school. Thanks to Smart and the Ka‑Partner App for the continued support and the valuable benefits you provide to us retailers,” said Shirley.

The Ka-Partner App is Smart’s retailer-focused platform that simplifies load selling and management. It also lets users earn points from selling regular load, which can be redeemed for instant rewards such as free SMS and airtime, load wallet credits, or e‑raffle entries.

“Congratulations to our winner from Negros Oriental. This initiative is our way of saying thank you to our valued Ka-partners who have helped us reach more customers and serve Smart subscribers nationwide,” said Ed Tinio, Center Head/AVP for Regional Customer Development Visayas at Smart.

It reflects Smart’s commitment to supporting its partner retailers by using technology and innovative solutions to improve their livelihood. This also aligns with the PLDT Group’s efforts to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 1: No Poverty, and SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.
