In the heart of Metro Manila, the MVP Cup 2024: One Invitational Golf teed off at the prestigious Manila Golf and Country Club, commemorating a landmark gathering of over 400 golf enthusiasts from the country’s leading business communities. Organized by PLDT and Smart, with PLDT Enterprise playing a pivotal role, the friendly tourney served as a venue to celebrate leadership, camaraderie, and the collaborative spirit that is shaping the modern business landscape.
The MVP Cup 2024 wasn't merely a golf tournament; it was a celebration of enduring partnerships and a showcase of PLDT Enterprise's commitment, beyond traditional telco solutions, to foster meaningful experiences for its clients. Amidst the lush greens and challenging fairways, clients, and influential business leaders, including PLDT and Smart First Vice President and Head of Enterprise and International Core Business, Mitch Locsin, gathered not just for the love of the sport but for the spirit of unity and collaboration it fosters.
In his address, Locsin highlighted the essence of the event where "The MVP Cup has been a cherished year on year relationship tradition, and it is our way to say thank you for your continued patronage to all our customers. This year it’s made even more special as we bring together our Smart and Smart Infinity subscribers, PLDT Home Fiber subscribers, and most importantly, our valued PLDT Enterprise customers and partners. An MVP Cup first”.
Jojo Gendrano, Senior Vice President and Head of Enterprise Business Group at PLDT and Smart, echoed Locsin's sentiments and added, "This event symbolizes that golf is more than just a game; it's a manifestation of the solid partnerships we've built over the years. The MVP Cup showcases our commitment to excellence and innovation, not only in the field of telecommunications but in fostering a community that thrives on mutual respect, support, and a shared vision for the future. It's these values that enable us to provide unparalleled service and support to our clients, making each achievement a collective success."
The event's success was emblematic of PLDT Enterprise's leadership in creating platforms that not only challenge the physical and strategic capabilities of its participants but also strengthen the bonds within its community. The day was filled with competitive spirit, but the underlying theme was the power of coming together for a noble cause, supporting the Manuel V. Pangilinan Sports Foundation (MVPSF) to aid Filipino athletes in need.
Thanks to the donations from all the participants, the National Golf Association of the Philippines (NGAP) is set to receive a cash donation of P350,000 from the MVP Sports Foundation (MVPSF). The symbolic check was presented during the fellowship night hosted by the PLDT Group officials led by PLDT Chairman and CEO Manny V. Pangilinan.
The participation of PLDT Enterprise in the MVP Cup 2024 underlined the company's dedication to building not just professional relationships but genuine connections with its clients. Through friendly competition and networking opportunities, PLDT Enterprise reinforces its commitment to supporting its clients beyond the confines of business transactions, nurturing a community where leadership, camaraderie, and collaboration thrive.
As PLDT and Smart continue to lead initiatives that bridge the gap between business and community, the MVP Cup 2024 stands as a testament to the transformative power of collective effort and shared values in achieving societal progress and supporting local talent.
PLDT Enterprise extends its gratitude to all participants, sponsors, and supporters who contributed to the success of this landmark event and looks forward to fostering more opportunities for collaboration and engagement in the future.
