PLDT has reaffirmed its commitment to intensify industry-wide collaboration to protect telco infrastructure as it joins fellow members of the National Telecommunications Security Council in mapping out key initiatives for 2026.

Telco stakeholders and government agencies are stepping up their collaboration to address threats, aiming to establish a long-term, coordinated national program to protect telco assets and ensure uninterrupted connectivity.

As threats to telecom infrastructure escalate—from cable theft to cyberattacks—the National Telecommunications Security Council (NTSC) is evolving into a full-fledged national defense body, uniting telcos and state forces in a historic security push.
