Valuable drivers of Philippines’ connectivity - BusinessWorld Online

PLDT-Smart Foundation , PLDT and Smart, FiberHome Technologies, and the Department of Education recently turned over three School-in-a-Bag packages to Batangas City schools to help make sure that there will be #NoLearnerLeftBehind. Each package includes a laptop, a Smart Bro LTE Pocket WiFi, and tablets pre-loaded with #LearnSmart applications and content, for the learning needs of students of Conde Labac Elementary School, Conde Labac Integrated School, and Dumuclay Elementary School.

“Amid the calamity and continuing pandemic, we transformed and performed. Addressing the sustained and shifting demands for connectivity, we scaled new all-time highs on revenues and EBITDA ,” the chairman wrote. “We expanded our fixed and mobile networks nationwide, powering more hybrid workspaces and online learning, enabling more businesses to thrive.”

Alfredo S. Panlilio, president and chief executive officer of both PLDT and Smart Communications, Inc. , noted that within data/broadband revenues, information and communications technology and corporate data increased by 14% and 6% y-o-y, respectively. “Strategic brand building campaigns and product innovations, funneled mainly to more than 10 million users of Smart’s GigaLife mobile app, increased brand relevance and enabled stronger customer digital adoption,” Mr. Panlilio added.

Not only is PLDT Group progressing in connectivity, but it has also been an active participant in the fintech space by maximizing the synergies between PLDT, Smart, and PayMaya, the group’s financial technology affiliate, which has recently rebranded as Maya — around six months after Voyager Innovations, Inc. secured a digital bank license.
