Donning a gray suit jacket and a casual shirt, businessman, sports patron, and chairman of PLDT Inc. and the MVP Sports Foundation (MVPSF) Manuel V. Pangilinan came into the small studio at Cignal TV to have an almost no-holds-barred conversation on “Thought Leaders” about his views on how sports, particularly basketball, can play a huge part in nation-building.

Amid his busy schedule, PLDT Inc. Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan sat down for #BetterToday conversations, a video series under this year’s Power Move Project -- an initiative of PLDT Inc. and Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) to promote mental resilience through sports.

A robust pool of IT professionals is key to propelling the Philippines' digitization plans, according to PLDT Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan.

Business leader Manuel V. Pangilinan expressed the commitment of his group of companies to strengthen public-private partnerships (PPP), enabling economic progress in the new normal.

A day after he returned to the Philippines for a quick break after his sensational stint overseas, Filipino champion pole vaulter Ernest John “EJ” Obiena visited the PLDT Inc. headquarters in Makati City to meet with Philippine sports patron and chairman of the country’s largest telco network, Manuel V. Pangilinan.

Going the extra mile for customers has been 50-year old Jonathan Dosdos’ long-time mantra ever since he started working in PLDT in 1995. He began as a cable splicer, which equipped him with profound knowledge of PLDT’s technology and equipment.

Over 500 leaders from various companies chaired by business leader Manuel V. Pangilinan attended a virtual discussion with Vogue Global Editorial Director and Condé Nast Chief Content Officer Anna Wintour on developing new mindsets and capabilities to lead with agility and serve customers more effectively.

The companies and employees of the MVP group have come together to support the countrywide movement of community pantries. Aid in the form of rice, produce, and other dried goods were mobilized by the group to initially benefit over 8,000 individuals and their families through select pantries that have been set-up across Metro Manila.

For over two decades, the country’s largest integrated telco PLDT Inc. has supported the computer science program of the Ateneo de Manila University, through its Professorial Chair donation. Manuel V Pangilinan and the companies and foundations under his leadership, have also donated 14 Professorial Chairs to the University of the Philippines College of Engineering to aid in their research studies on innovative and tech developments for the country. Through the Metro Pacific Investments Corporation, Pangilinan also committed to donate another professorial chair to the College of Engineering. The MVP Group also provided two more professorial chairs to the UP College of Science.
