Need load to call or text someone? This happens to me at times when something urgent needs to be addressed. Now there is a fast way to reload especially when you’re at any Shopwise grocery in particular. I have been a Shopwise buyer for a good number of years and this great news from partner Smart Communications comes in perfect timing!
Customers shopping at Rustan’s Supermarket, Shopwise, and Wellcome Supermarket all over the country can now conveniently buy Smart load at checkout counters, following the recent announcement of Smart Communications that it has partnered with Rustan’s Super Center Inc. (RSCI), to make load products more conveniently available.
“We have worked with our fulfillment partner Remitbox to fully integrate the loading process effortlessly in the check-out counters of our partner RSCI, to save our common customers the time and hassle of having to proceed to a completely separate counter for their Smart load needs,” said Kat Luna-Abelarde, FVP and Head of Wireless Consumer Operations for Smart.
Entertainment was provided by TV5’s Mark Neumann who danced and sang for the audience and guests. At least 3 Shopwise grocery GCs went to three lucky winner. While major prize of a Samsung smartphone was awarded ti a female winner. Congrats!
“The partnership provides Smart a new and much wider network to reach and serve our customers, and is just one of many in the pipeline,” added Abelarde. Smart’s business expansion is geared towards providing a more convenient and efficient way for their subscribers to load up, adding to the already wide array of available loading options for them.
Present during the event were top executives from Shopwise and Smart who mingled and chatted with guests even after the launch.

RSCI is a member of Filipino company Rustan’s Group that pioneered the hypermarket concept in the Philippines through Shopwise. Its four brands — Rustan’s Supermarket, Rustan’s Marketplace, Shopwise, and Wellcome – operate a combined 53 branches nationwide. Since September 16, 2016, Smart subscribers can buy load from any Rustan’s Supermarket, Shopwise, and Wellcome check-out counters, and all loading transactions made will be conveniently printed out on the receipt together with all the other items purchased in the store.
I am looking forward as well for my Yuletide grocery shopping here at Shopwise. The discounts and promos are irresistible!
