Leading telecoms and digital services provider PLDT has signed a strategic partnership agreement with the Subdivision and Housing Developers Association, Inc. (SHDA), the country's leading real estate developers’ organization, to deliver high-speed fiber-powered connectivity and digital services to its members’ subdivisions and condominium buildings.

“PLDT’s strategic partnership with industry leader SHDA will enable us to provide total building solutions that best serve the connectivity needs of their residents and future-proof the developers’ projects such as subdivisions and condominium buildings,” said PLDT VP and Head of Building Industry Consultancy Services (BICS) Ronaldo David R. Mendoza. 

“To enable residents and tenants to fully embrace the digital lifestyle, the subdivisions and condominium buildings will be equipped with the high-speed fiber connectivity which delivers hi-resolution video, as well as telecoms and smart home digital services,” Mendoza added.

“This partnership has given our developers a direct communication line with PLDT to better serve our needs,” said 2019 SHDA National President Raphael B. Felix.

He explained that, “Utility applications in this country are not that easy to apply for. Given the infrastructure requirement and how it has to pass through poles, roads, and other rights of way, it takes some time to get the utility services in place for the use of our homebuyers. The continuing partnership between SHDA and PLDT has kept our members at the forefront of new fixed and wireless technologies, products and services from the PLDT Group.”

“These services - which include telecom, internet and satellite TV on Cignal - are essential items to our homebuyers’ list of requirements, especially in these digital times. It’s really a privilege to work with PLDT as partner,” Felix said.

The SHDA is a nationwide housing organization that seeks to provide adequate and decent housing to Filipinos. It is composed of 138 members from Metro Manila, 179 from eight other regions, and 32 affiliate members who have continuously pursued and advocated for laws and measures that have been instrumental in helping create a more conducive business environment for its industry players resulting to more Filipinos having their own home.
