LEADING wireless services provider Smart Communications Inc. (Smart) is donating various urgently needed goods and materials worth P3.285 million to efforts to help survivors of Tropical Storm Sendong to rebuild their lives.

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY—Filipino-American apl.de.ap of Black Eyed Peas, also Smart brand ambassador, brought relief and cheered up evacuees at the West City Central School in Barangay Carmen to help ease suffering caused by Tropical Storm Sendong.

PLDT-Smart Foundation supports We Can Be Anything, an education advocacy campaign born of the partnership between Apl.de.Ap Foundation and the Ninoy and Cory Aquino Foundation (NCAF). The campaign was conceived after apl.de.ap (a.k.a. Allan Pineda), the Filipino-American member of the world-famous Black Eyed Peas, expressed his desire to help improve the education situation in the Philippines.

The PLDT Smart Foundation's Gabay Guro Program has recently won an Anvil Award of Merit in recognition of its achievements as an outstanding public relations program aimed at improving education in the country in a sustainable way.

PLDT and Smart Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan graced the inauguration rites of the PNP National Operations Center (NOC) at Camp Crame, the main monitoring center of the police force nationwide.
