The country’s largest integrated telecommunications company PLDT and telco newcomer DITO have recently entered into an agreement for the construction of a transmission facility that will serve as the point of interconnection for their subscribers.

PLDT, in partnership with the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP), launched a project that adopts the Food Always In The Home (FAITH) principle for Marikina Watershed communities.

PLDT Chairman and CEO Manuel V Pangilinan has committed to support the Bureau of Internal Revenue's digital transformation as it sets its eyes on higher targets this year.

PLDT, the country’s largest integrated telco, supported the digital celebration of the world-class Dinagyang Festival in Iloilo. With the pandemic forcing the whole world to become more digital, the Dinagyang Festival took place online as Iloilo celebrated the Feast of Señor Sto. Niño, the festivities and the tradition from the comfort of their homes.

Internet speeds in the Philippines have improved between 2017 and 2020, as Philippine telcos including leading integrated telco PLDT and its wireless arm Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) continued to significantly invest in their networks.

Manuel V Pangilinan serves as the longest serving Chairman of the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP), a prestigious organization that gathers business leaders across the country to create various efforts for sustainable development and poverty reduction. Now on its 50th year, the PBSP continues to change the lives of the Filipino people by changing the landscape of corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate citizenship and responsible business practices.

The Philippines’ largest integrated telco PLDT Inc. and its wireless unit, Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), continue to fortify protection from online sexual abuse and exploitation of children (OSAEC) during the coronavirus pandemic. To date, the PLDT Group has taken down 3,011 sites that host illicit content featuring children as mandated by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC).

Manuel V Pangilinan’s Tulong Kapatid, the corporate social responsibility consortium composed of the companies and foundations under his leadership, turned over rescue boats, trucks and a chopper to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to aid in their disaster preparedness as well as rescue operation.

The Chairman of PLDT, Inc, and the PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF), Manuel V Pangilinan recently pledged a P4-million scholarship grant to the chosen scholars of his alma mater, San Beda College. Equivalent to P1 million for the next four years, this pledge matches the P4-million-donation of the PSF to the San Beda College Alumni Foundation (SBCAF).

As part of the MVP Group’s Tuloy Pa Rin Ang Pasko (TPRAP) movement, PLDT, Smart and the PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF) reached out to over 5,000 families and communities nationwide.
