In celebration of the National Farmers and Fisherfolk Month this May, PLDT and Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) recently piloted the #FarmSmart Farm program in Santa Cruz, Occidental Mindoro in partnership with social agri-enterprise Farmvocacy. 

Leading integrated telco PLDT and its wireless unit Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) with their technology collaborator AST SpaceMobile have met with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to express their support for the government's overall thrust to provide connectivity to Filipinos across the country, including those in far-flung areas.  

Leading mobile services provider Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) will bring to the table its expertise and knowledge on global best practices as it continues to work with government to ensure consumer protection through measures like the SIM card registration bill.

Thirty-three-year-old medical student Ariel Abantes never thought he would actually win anything when he joined Smart’s ‘Balik Tuition Promo 2’ in 2021. And when he did, he thought he only won load credits. But what the sophomore student at Our Lady of Fatima University (OLFU) found out later on was that he was actually taking home the 100-thousand-peso grand prize.

PLDT’s wireless subsidiary Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) held the #CyberSmart caravan in De La Salle Lipa for its Parents and Educators Nourishing and Cooperating in La Salle (PENCIL) association. As one of Smart’s long-time academe partners, this particular engagement with De La Salle Lipa and its parent community aims to bring cybersecurity and internet safety to parents, faculty, and students.

Farming, they say, is a huge gamble. With farmers saddled with debt even before they till the soil, they can only hope to literally reap everything they’ve sown. Crop damage is not an option.  

Stephanie V. Orlino, Head of Stakeholder Management at Smart, says the initiative aims to modernize cooperatives.

In celebration of the 2022 National Women’s Month, Smart continued working with women-led organizations to help ensure food security in low-income communities. With the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting the flow of goods from farms to markets, Smart has been advocating home gardening, supporting the evolution of ‘plantitas’ nationwide.

PLDT wireless unit Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) throws its support behind the presidential and vice presidential debates organized by the Commission on Elections (Comelec). Teaming up with Impact Hub Manila, the organization behind Vote Pilipinas, the official voter information campaign partner of Comelec, Smart is an official partner and official network provider of ‘PiliPinas Debates 2022: The Turning Point.’
