PLDT Announces PLDT and Me Online Promo on Their 85th Anniversary

Home is always where the heart is. And before computers and cellular phones ever evolved in the homes of the Filipinos, PLDT and the telephone is the priceless device you can ever have, to talk to your loved ones wherever they may be.

As a daughter to an OFW dad, my family relied to PLDT in keeping in touch with him while working abroad. I can still remember how it can be a link to communicating with him especially when he can't make it to the holidays and the most special occasions in our life. In essence, my brother and I are instilled with the values of my Dad's hard work because even though we cant be with him, we always have PLDT landline to hear his advices and greetings. That I can say, PLDT is really changing lives. 

With its 85th anniversary, founded on November 28, 1928,  PLDT continues to reward its loyal and potential subscribers with exciting activities for everyone. Over generations, PLDT has been an integral part of homes, schools and businesses. During my high school days, I have never known anyone without a PLDT landline. And even if we've already seen each other at school, my friends and I still talk over the phone with our personal lives. It has changed the course of communication for years, until our love for the company evolved us to getting the myDSL for our home. These milestones are important because it is a part of who we are, and they share the same for every Filipinos.
