Partner schools under the Smart Wireless Engineering Education Program (SWEEP) are leveling up to take on artificial intelligence (AI). SWEEP, the Philippines’ longest running industry-academe linkage program, itself has officially entered Phase 5, which integrates AI, automation, and intelligent systems into engineering education, aligning academic training with how modern telecom networks are now designed, operated, and optimized.

PLDT and its wireless unit Smart Communications Inc. recently marked 21 years of fostering meaningful connections and empowering Filipinos through its shared value program, PLDT and Smart Communities.
