TOKYO, JAPAN, August 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Smiles Mobile Remittance marked a major milestone with the grand opening of its new office building in Plaridel, Bulacan. The modern five-story facility not only reflects physical growth but also highlights Smiles’ ongoing commitment to customer satisfaction, service excellence, innovation, and future expansion.

Smiles Mobile Remittance is Japan’s absolute no. 1 remittance app and the only 100% digital, mobile-centric remittance operator powered by Digital Wallet Corporation. Leveraging Japan’s advanced technology and infrastructure, Smiles is connected to more than 77,000 ATMs nationwide.

Congresswoman Pancho praised the company’s contribution to the community, saying

“Life is short, and what we truly need are little smiles that connect us all. We are grateful to Smiles and its investors for trusting the province of Bulacan, especially the town of Plaridel. This investment brings not only opportunities for additional income and employment but also hope for a stronger community. With the support of the LGU of Plaridel under Mayor Jocell Vistan, we look forward to many more fruitful and meaningful years ahead.”

Mayor Vistan also shared her message of support, noting,

“I am truly amazed at how quickly Smiles has grown, from its humble beginnings in a garage to this impressive five-story building, one of the tallest in our municipality. Thank you for trusting the town of Plaridel and for engaging our youth by giving them purpose, livelihood, and jobs. I hope that through Smiles, more people will be touched by the opportunities you create, especially for the younger generation.”

Following the ceremony, Bishop Jonel Milan conducted a blessing of the new office, with attendees lighting candles to symbolize this new chapter for the Smiles Philippines team.
