Pursuant to the directive of President Bongbong Marcos, Jr. to provide accessible lifelines for OFWs and their families during the crisis in the Middle East, the PLDT Group has expanded its communication assistance for overseas Filipinos, extending all free call services and setting up additional free call stations in select PLDT and Smart stores located in major malls.

This expanded effort builds on the initial order from PLDT Group Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan, who earlier instructed the Group to activate emergency communication support for Filipinos in affected countries.

Reaffirming their commitment to global excellence, PLDT Global Inc. has achieved its ISO 9001:2015 certification, the globally recognized standard for Quality Management Systems. The certification, awarded by TÜV SÜD PSB Philippines Inc., underscores PLDT Global's strong focus on customer-centricity, operational excellence, and its ability to consistently deliver world-class connectivity and innovative digital solutions to Filipino communities and enterprises worldwide.
