With a surge in cases and lockdowns in place, the PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF), PLDT group’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm, has reached out to far-flung communities to provide aid, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

PLDT group ups the ante on women empowerment in the new normal.

PLDT-Smart Foundation distributed boxes of face masks, PPE, disinfecting kits and carboys of ethyl alcohol to local hospitals, local government offices, media offices and schools in Cebu. PSF and its partners have prioritized Cebu as it is one of the COVID-19 hot spots in the country due to the recent rise in its cases.

PLDT-Smart Foundation provided over 500 families in Barangay 473, Manila with food packs. This was made possible through a fundraising campaign done in partnership with PLDT-Smart People Group and Your200Pesos.

PLDT Chairman and CEO Manuel V Pangilinan, who is also known as MVP for short, marked his birthday on July 14 through various activities to help schools which face the difficult task of preparing to reopen classes.
