Amidst the manicured greens and prestigious fairways of the Manila Golf and Country Club, the MVP Cup One Invitational emerged as the quintessential rendezvous for Smart Infinity members
In the lush expanse of the Manila Golf and Country Club, the recently concluded MVP Cup One Invitational set the standard for premium golfing events and showcased the unparalleled lifestyle that Smart Infinity members enjoy. As the sun cast its golden hue over the manicured greens, the air was filled with anticipation and the spirit of camaraderie, underscoring a day where sport and sophistication met.
The MVP Cup serves as a testament to the commitment of Smart Infinity, the premium postpaid brand of Smart, to providing its members with exceptional service and access to premium experiences.


Richard Mathew "Shing" Dimagiba, the VP/head of postpaid for Smart Postpaid Marketing, articulates the brand's philosophy on providing such premium offerings. "We aim to deliver an elevated experience for our customers, starting with our relationship manager, the inclusions of our product, and, importantly, the exclusive events you can participate in," he explains.
This event vividly illustrates how the brand goes beyond the conventional to empower its members, offering them opportunities to network and forge meaningful connections in settings that reflect their stature.
Through its dedication to sports, Smart extends its influence beyond digital connectivity, fostering real-world relationships among its members. The MVP Cup, with its prestigious venue and the gathering of notable personalities such as John Estrada, Richard Gomez, and Aga Muhlach, Tito Sotto, Derek Ramsay, Chot Reyes, Jojo Lastimosa, among others, provided a perfect backdrop for building these connections. "Historically, golf has been used to seal deals. Similarly, we are connecting our consumers or Infinity members to have that common bond within the game," explained Jude Turcuato, FVP and head of sports at PLDT-Smart. This approach highlights Smart's innovative way of enhancing the community spirit, emphasising the importance of personal interactions and shared experiences.
Smart Infinity's mantra of providing an elevated membership experience shone brightly throughout the event. From exclusive dinners to the chance to play in the country's most prestigious golf course, Infinity members are accorded luxurious and meaningful privileges. "The fact that you are here elevates your experience," Turcuato added, underlining the essence of what Smart Infinity offers—unrivalled access to premium events and experiences that resonate with their members' aspirations.
The tournament was punctuated with memorable highlights, including a raffle that saw lucky winners walking away with golf gear from J. Lindeberg, Samsung gadgets, tickets to Miss Saigon from UnionBank, and even multiple cars. Moreover, the speech by Manuel V. Pangilinan not only thanked the participants but also emphasised the depth of partnership and friendship beyond the fairways, which resonated with everyone present. "Ours is a friendship that goes beyond the green...to deepen the friendship and partnership with you," Pangilinan remarked, capturing the essence of the event's spirit.
As the day drew to a close, the MVP Cup One Invitational stood as a vivid embodiment of the premium lifestyle and the rich tapestry of experiences Smart Infinity offers its members. It's a reminder that in a world where connections are often digital, there are exceptional moments to be had—moments enriched by the joy of sport and the warmth of new friendships. With Smart Infinity, the journey beyond the digital realm into the realms of exclusive experiences and deep-rooted connections is not just possible—it's a given.
