 The
GLOBAL PINOY
Discipline, perseverance and
competence are just some of the many traits that
Filipino workers are renowned for all over the globe.
Apart from these, they are also known for putting their
families' interests ahead of their own at all times.
Sold family ties have always been a strong driving force
for the Global Pinoy.
Eking out a living abroad is
no easy feat, even for naturally resilient Filipinos:
the necessity of learning an entirely new language and
assimilating into a different culture, and the emotional
turmoil caused by being away from loved ones are just
few of the hurdles that OFWs brave to provide a better
future for their families. These, among many others, are
similar to the difficulties also faced by OFWs working
in Japan.
WORLD COM JAPAN recognizes
the great sacrifice that Filipinos do for their families
back home, and has long endeavored to provide assistance
to them in any way possible.
THE GLOBAL PINOY and
WORLD COM JAPAN

THE HEART and SOUL of
WORLD COM JAPAN
Who can better know the needs of OFWs in Japan than
Filipinos who have worked there themselves?
WORLD COM JAPAN was founded in 1999 by Ms. Luisa Kondo.
Being a Filipina and having worked in Japan for over two
decades, Ms. Kondo understands the predicament of
foreign workers in the country.
World Com Japan was borne out of an aspiration to
provide much needed assistance to fellow Filipinos and
somehow help ease the distress that being an OFW in
Japan usually entails. Loneliness is a tough ordeal to
battle, especially for someone who is used to being
surrounded by friends and family. Hence, when World Com
Japan was birthed in 1999, one of its main objectives
was to keep the OFWs' support system strong and help
them stay connected to their loved ones in the
Philippines through constant and affordable
communication.
At the outset, World Com Japan (first known in 1999 as
Pidro Com Japan) served as an Internationall Call
Service Provider that caters mainly to the Filipino
market. Each year since then, it continued to expand. As
its clientele grew, so did its lineup of products and
services.
In 2002, World Com introduced the Discovery Paradise
Magazine, a montly publication that keeps Pinoys in
Japan updated about Philippine information and
entertainment.
Year 2004, World Com Japan provided a minimum of 5kgs
and maximum of 10 kgs. free baggage allowance to all
PIRDO COM JAPAN, Pidro Prepaid Cards Promo to PHILIPPINE
AIRLINES per travel from Japan to Philippines (Scratch
and Win promo) for OFWs.
There is no stopping the evolution and progress of World
Com. In 2007, it officially changed its name from Pidro
Com Japan to World Com Japan. This is a more apt name
for what once was a humble venture that had already
transformed into a global business. With the name change
came more innovative developments: World Com introduced
a lineup of beauty products especially made for
Filipinos through World of Beauty.
Year 2008 was yet another era of enormous milestones for
World Com Japan. The business expanded outside Japan
with the inclusion of World of Satellite. This new
branch operated as a distributor for Smart Link, both in
the Philippines and in the international seas. In the
mid-part of the same year, World of Satellite signed a
contract with Thuraya becoming its legitimate Service
Provider for the Philippine Maritime Scene. 2008 was
also the year
when a partnership between Japan's telecommunications
giant, Softbank Telecom, and World Com was forged. This
further broadened the already wide reach of World Com in
terms of telecom service.
In 2009, World Com Japan created a second magazine.
Through its new affiliation with ATOS, began the
production of the TFC TV Guide. This magazine is
published and distributed exclusiveley for the
subscribers of TFC. TFC is a satellite TV service that
carries Filipino shows produced by ABS-CBN, which is one
of the biggest TV networks in the Philippines.
Now, World Com Japan also provides cargo, satellite and
Internet TV, realty services, and even fashion items. In
the coming years, the Company could be expected to
continue doing what it does best: anticipating what
Filipinos in Japan need, and making it accessible to
them.
The world is an ever-expanding place. World Com Japan
strives hard to keep up and spread its wings further to
embrace every change - and it takes the Global Pinoys
with it as it flies.
That is definitely world-class service from Filipinos,
for Filipinos. |
