PLDT and Smart joined the summit at National University Baliwag to help equip young entrepreneurs with tools and knowledge for starting and growing small businesses.

PLDT is further strengthening its on-ground partnerships with barangays in Metro Manila and nearby areas as part of intensified efforts to protect cables and telco equipment, especially amid the rise in cable cutting and theft incidents.

For Michael Sta. Maria, success didn’t begin with software. It started with sacrifice.

Long before he led a growing enterprise resource planning (ERP) software company serving clients across the country, Sta. Maria was a young professional from Norzagaray, Bulacan who spent many years working away from home, missing important family moments in pursuit of stability.

Persons with disabilities in San Miguel, Bulacan, reap the benefits of PLDT and Smart’s digital training, expanding their livelihood opportunities.
