This global commitment was extended to the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC), with Samsung Philippines proudly serving as the official mobile partner. The Philippines recently bid farewell to its Olympic-bound athletes in a send-off ceremony at the Ayuntamiento De Manila in Intramuros. The event was graced by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., POC President Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino, SEPCO Head of Marketing Yna Quimson, and SEPCO Head of Mobile Experience Blue Avelino.  

As the athletes prepare for their journey to the Paris Olympics 2024, each of them is now equipped with a Galaxy Z Flip5, part of the brand’s commitment to keeping them connected with fans and loved ones throughout their Olympic adventure. This support ensures the athletes can share their experiences and stay in touch with their supporters, amplifying their voices and stories on a global stage.
