PLDT and its wireless unit Smart Communications, Inc. are ramping up their sustainability initiatives. In partnership with the Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Training Institute and the Mennonite Economic Development Associates, the Group is set to equip cacao farmers with digital technology while promoting sustainable farming practices for the cacao industry in Mindanao.

Committed to improving the lives of Filipinos all over the world, PLDT Global Corporation (PLDT Global) and the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) recently awarded a livelihood package to Annalyn Fernan, a beneficiary of an overseas Filipino worker who passed away in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia last year.

“Forty years passed like a breeze without noticing the time,” said Gene de Guzman, who is among eight employees recently feted by the country’s largest integrated telco PLDT for 40 years of loyal service.
