THE IDEAL TIME TO BE A SMART SUBSCRIBER
“Now is the best time for Filipino basketball fans to be a Smart subscriber,” remarked Alfredo S. Panlilio, PLDT and Smart President and CEO and head of the FIBA local organizing committee.
Panlilio added, “With Smart, we are empowering our basketball-loving nation to make the most of our country’s historic hosting of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup. Enjoy virtual front-row seats, as if you are there, to the world’s biggest stage in basketball by downloading the Smart Livestream app.”
Subscribers and fans can rally behind Gilas Pilipinas, led by Utah Jazz's Jordan Clarkson, along with Team USA and other basketball luminaries as they vie for FIBA supremacy.
As echoed by Clarkson and Slovenia's Luka Doncic in a recent FIBA commercial, "Once you put on your country's jersey... nothing else matters."
