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.

Building on last year's successful campaign, leading integrated telco network PLDT Inc and its wireless arm Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) have partnered with Brgy 391 in Quiapo, Manila for the first 'Bayanihan' session this year.

The activity, which aims to strengthen PLDT's partnerships with barangays and local governments to protect telco infrastructure and equipment as well as deter cable theft and vandalism, was led by PLDT GMM South Asset Protection Division (APD) Head Willie S. Antalan, Jr., and Brgy 391 chair Hon. Cecilio T. Mateo.
