PLDT SME Nation in partnership with PLDT Smart Foundation, Business & Professional Women (BPW) Makati and IBM Philippines kick-off Women’s Month celebrations with the launch of the GREAT Women ICT Platform.

PLDT-SMART Foundation's CSR, Gabay Guro, recognizes the need for regular teacher training courses. Knowing that teachers have the power to shape the future of their students, and therefore, the nation, Gabay Guro sees to it that the skills of teachers are enhanced as well.

The Department of Education (DepEd), through its Adopt-A-School Program, lauded the efforts of Smart Communications, Inc. for its support in assisting communities recover from the devastation of Typhoon Pablo which ravaged several Mindanao towns last year.

According to experts, the Philippines ranks second among the most vulnerable countries in the world in terms of threats posed by natural disasters. Not only do we have the regular visitation by typhoons but the country sits astride the Pacific “Ring of Fire” which makes us prone to earthquakes and volcano havoc as well. So the main thing that our countrymen have to deal with is how to prepare when disaster strikes; or once it hits us, as in the recent habagat, torrential rains that inundated about half of Metro Manila and heavy flooding in other provinces as well — how to come together and work in providing relief to our brethren whose homes, lives and personal well-being had been damaged or devastated.
