PLDT and its wireless subsidiary Smart have reaffirmed their commitment to back the Government's digitalization efforts. They aim to streamline and transform government processes, narrow the digital divide, and implement policies aligned with the Government's vision of a Bagong Pilipinas.

PLDT Chairman and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan believes that a partnership between the Government and the telco sector is crucial in connecting remote, rural areas—officially referred to as Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs).

PLDT and its wireless unit Smart bolster their commitment to support President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s digitalization mission, by expanding reliable internet access to Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs) across the Philippines.
