Maymay and Edward took over Twitter accounts @PLDTHome and @PLDT_Cares to address customer queries particularly about PLDT HOME Prepaid WiFi, the product that they endorse.
“Sobrang nag-enjoy ako. Namiss ko yung time na nag-on-the-job training ako, kung saan para din akong nag-customer service. Hindi madali ang trabaho ng customer care representative. (I really enjoyed it. It made me miss the time when I was doing on-the-job training, where some kind of customer service was involved. The job of a customer care representative is not easy),” said MayMay.
For his part, Edward said, “It’s the first time I was able to do something like this and I have a newfound respect for everyone who does this type of job, because it’s really challenging. For one, it’s hard to communicate when you are not face to face with the other person to ask more details about his or her concern. You also have to be careful about using unnecessary words.”
Assisted by PLDT Customer Care supervisors and agents, the young celebrities were able to answer numerous customer tweets, mostly on loading and signal related concerns.
Maymay and Edward find the Internet most useful in their work as they turn to social media to constantly update their fans about their activities.
“Malaking tulong po ang Internet sa trabaho namin lalo na’t lagi po kaming nag-uupdate sa fans kung ano na nangyayari sa buhay namin. Yun po ang nagiging paraan namin para mapasaya sila. (Internet is very helpful in our work. especially that we always update our fans about what’s happening in our lives. It’s been our way to make them happy),” Maymay said.
