PLDT and Smart are inspiring the next generation to take the lead in protecting the planet.

In partnership with the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP), the two organizations rolled out the Xtrash Challenge School Partnership Program—a youth-centered campaign supporting the call of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) for environmental stewardship.

As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes newsrooms, journalists are exploring ways to adapt. In Cebu, local journalists and communications educators gathered for a full-day workshop designed to equip them with AI skills, while reinforcing the values of ethical and responsible journalism.

PLDT Inc. (PLDT), the Philippines’ leading fully integrated telecommunications network, continues to expand the adoption of greening solutions as it increases renewable energy (RE) sourcing for 17 facilities, including its main offices in Makati City. 

Under its agreement with Meralco’s local retail electricity unit, MPower, PLDT gains access to an increasing amount of RE from the Competitive Retail Electricity Market (CREM) for select high-power consuming facilities with a combined electricity demand of more than 15,000 kilowatt (kW) per month.
