Filipino athletes take part in meaningful conversations on TikTok by way of the Better Today program.

Powered by PLDT Inc., (PLDT) and Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) and done in collaboration with the MVP Sports Foundation (MVPSF), the program is designed to promote wellness, safe spaces, and change-making in the digital world.

For its third series, Better Today will have Olympic gold medalist and weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz, Olympic silver medalist and boxer Nesthy Petecio, basketball stars Dwight Ramos and Kai Sotto, esports player Jhayzee Rivera, and PLDT Home Fibr Hitters setter Rhea Dimaculangan headlining Power Move: Better Today.

The conversations this time around will revolve around sports and mental resilience.

The Power Move Project follows those of Better Today Conversations in 2020, and Better Today Time Capsule Project 2021 earlier this year. Combined, the two have recorded 186,000 views.

“We are proud to be driving inter-generational conversations on mental health awareness anchored on our advocacy on sports through the Power Move Project,” said Alfredo S. Panlilio, PLDT and Smart President and CEO, in a release.

“We Filipinos love sports so much that it has the power to bring us together as a nation. It gives us a deep sense of community, camaraderie, and pride. We want to share a message anchored on a deep sense of connection, and more importantly, a message of hope that you are not alone,” added Mr. Panlilio, who also serves as the president of MVPSF and first vice-president of the Philippine Olympic Committee.
