On a bright day in Baseco, in the heart of the Port Area, color slowly spread across the walls of the Manila Child Development Center Cluster 2 — brushstroke by brushstroke. What was once an ordinary, flood‑prone facility began to take on new life, not just through paint, but through the collective effort of volunteers and employees from PLDT and Smart who chose to serve beyond their desks.

Amid the more frequent and intense calamities brought about by climate change, the Filipino bayanihan spirit shines through.  

The Monsantos are a perfect example of this. As the latest winners of PLDT Home’s One Mega Giveaway (OMG) promo, Marlowe Monsanto and family opted to donate their ₱100,000 cash reward to PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF)'s relief operations for the benefit of typhoon Uwan survivors and upcoming holiday assistance programs for displaced communities.

In every community development program of the MVP Group lies a shared vision -- that no Filipino is Left Behind. Guided by this vision, the PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF) and the MVP Group of Companies’ corporate social responsibility consortium, Tulong Kapatid, have officially partnered with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed on April 10, 2025.
