Enterprise Sustains Growth Momentum on ICT Expansion and Network Modernization

Tweet

The Enterprise business reported revenues of ₱12.4 billion for the first quarter of 2026, a 4% year-on-year increase, supported by sustained demand for ICT and digital infrastructure services, alongside strong Wireless performance.

Growth in the quarter was primarily driven by Corporate Data and ICT, which reached ₱9.3 billion, continuing to account for the majority of Enterprise revenues. This reflects organizations increasingly consolidating toward integrated, managed, and analytics-driven platforms to improve efficiency, scalability, and decision-making.

Within ICT, PLDT’s ICT subsidiary, ePLDT, recorded 34% year-on-year growth in technology services revenues, driven by strong performance in managed services and Data & AI solutions. These gains reflect the growing demand for solutions that allow customers to operate in an environment where speed, adaptability, and continuous innovation are critical for maintaining competitiveness.

In the data center segment, ePLDT's subsidiary VITRO Inc. delivered strong double-digit revenue growth. This performance was driven by robust demand from key enterprise industries and hyperscalers, reflecting the continued and growing need for data center infrastructure.

The Fixed business remained broadly stable, supported by sustained enterprise investments in network transformation and modernization initiatives. Fiber lines grew by 6% year-on-year, while SD-WAN lines increased by 17%, reflecting the continued shift of enterprises toward highly resilient fiber connectivity and software-defined networking solutions to support cloud adoption, multi-site operations, and centralized network management.

Meanwhile, PGC Enterprise revenues grew by 26%, highlighting momentum across international connectivity and digital platform services. Together, these developments underscore Enterprise’s continued efforts to enable digital transformation through scalable, resilient, and future-ready connectivity solutions.

On the Wireless front, the business sustained strong growth momentum, expanding by 13% in the first quarter—an acceleration from the 3% growth recorded in 2025. This was driven by the continued performance of Wireless platform solutions such as A2P, Bizload, and IoT, which are expanding the role of Wireless beyond core products like Enterprise Postpaid and Enterprise Broadband. A2P growth was further supported by higher SMS traffic, with an additional 1.4 billion messages versus the same period last year, as messaging aggregators continued to power business communications at scale. Meanwhile, Bizload and IoT supported enterprises in automating load distribution across workforces and improving operational efficiency through connected solutions.

Overall, the Enterprise segment’s performance in the quarter highlights a structural shift toward ICT-led growth, supported by a solid connectivity backbone across Fixed and Wireless solutions. This integrated approach—combining ICT, Fixed, and Wireless—enables enterprises to operate more seamlessly across locations while strengthening the reliability and scalability of their digital infrastructure.

Looking ahead, the Enterprise business is expected to sustain its momentum through continued expansion of ICT services, ongoing network modernization initiatives, and enhancements in service quality and customer experience. These efforts position the segment to capture evolving enterprise requirements as demand for secure, scalable, and intelligent digital infrastructure continues to grow.

PLDT Enterprise and 6D Technologies Help Businesses Bring IoT Closer to Everyday Operations

Tweet

PLDT Enterprise and 6D Technologies formalize their partnership to expand scalable IoT connectivity and support enterprise digital transformation across the Philippines. (L–R): Gilbert Gaw, First Vice President and Head of IT and Transformation Office, PLDT and Smart; Nico Alcoseba, First Vice President and Head of Product Management and Innovation, PLDT Enterprise; Manish Arora, Executive Director and Chief Revenue Officer, 6D Technologies; and Abhishek Bhalla, Vice President for APAC, 6D Technologies.

For many businesses, growth depends on being able to see what is happening across their operations in real time — where assets are, how devices are performing, when systems need attention, and how teams can respond faster when conditions change.

This is where connected technology becomes more than just infrastructure. It becomes a way for businesses to make better decisions, reduce delays, improve visibility, and serve customers with greater confidence.

PLDT Enterprise is taking another step toward making this possible for more Philippine businesses through its strategic partnership with 6D Technologies, a global telecommunications software company specializing in BSS/OSS platforms, IoT connectivity management, and digital transformation solutions for mobile network operators. Through the collaboration, PLDT Enterprise is strengthening its IoT capabilities to support more scalable, flexible, and enterprise-ready connectivity services across the country.

At the heart of the partnership is 6D Technologies’ IoT Connectivity Management Platform (CMP), a carrier-grade platform that helps telecom operators create, package, deploy, and manage IoT services at scale. It supports the full IoT lifecycle, including SIM provisioning, device onboarding, real-time usage monitoring, automated billing, and enterprise self-service portals.

Helping businesses see more and respond faster

The partnership is expected to support more IoT use cases across industries such as logistics, manufacturing, utilities, retail, and public services — sectors where reliable information and timely action can directly affect operations. It opens opportunities for use cases such as fleet tracking, smart metering, industrial automation, cold chain monitoring, smart surveillance, and connected car solutions.

For logistics companies, this can mean better visibility over vehicles and deliveries. For utilities, it can help improve monitoring across meters and field assets. For manufacturers, it can support smarter automation and equipment tracking. For retailers and public service organizations, it can help teams make faster decisions based on more accurate, real-time information.

Built on Smart’s 5G-enabled infrastructure, the platform is also positioned to support deployments even in hard-to-reach areas, helping bring connected solutions closer to businesses and communities that need them.

Making IoT easier to start, manage, and scale

For many enterprises, adopting IoT can feel complex. Businesses need to manage devices, connectivity, data usage, security settings, and cost — often across multiple sites and teams.

Through 6D’s platform capabilities, PLDT Enterprise can develop more dynamic bundled offerings, create more accessible starting points for SMEs and mid-market customers, and support customers as their IoT requirements grow over time. The platform’s flexible commercial engine, multi-tenant structure, and automated SIM and device lifecycle management are designed to help PLDT Enterprise respond more quickly to market demand and support enterprise growth with less back-end intervention.

With the new platform, enterprises can access capabilities such as seamless roaming support for connected devices across regions, eSIM enablement for more flexible and remote device provisioning, data pooling across multiple devices to optimize usage and cost efficiency, and enhanced APN management for more secure and customized network configurations.

The platform also introduces AI-powered IoT connectivity management — capabilities that go beyond dashboards to proactively flag anomalies, predict connectivity issues before they affect operations, and automatically optimize device performance and network usage across an enterprise’s entire connected fleet. For businesses managing hundreds or thousands of devices across multiple sites, this translates to fewer manual interventions and more reliable uptime.

Leaders from PLDT Enterprise and 6D Technologies come together to formalize their partnership aimed at strengthening scalable IoT connectivity solutions for Philippine businesses. (L–R): Manoj Jain, Global Head of Marketing, 6D Technologies; Abhishek Bhalla, Vice President for APAC, 6D Technologies; Manish Arora, Executive Director and Chief Revenue Officer, 6D Technologies; Gilbert Gaw, First Vice President and Head of IT and Transformation Office, PLDT and Smart; and Nico Alcoseba, First Vice President and Head of Product Management and Innovation, PLDT Enterprise.

A commitment to smarter, more connected businesses across the Philippines

For PLDT Enterprise, the partnership reflects a broader commitment to helping Philippine businesses move beyond basic connectivity and toward more intelligent, device-level digital operations.

“This partnership with 6D Technologies strengthens our ability to deliver more scalable and flexible IoT services to businesses across the Philippines,” said Nico Alcoseba, First Vice President and Head of Product Management and Innovation at PLDT Enterprise. “By enhancing our IoT platform capabilities, we are better positioned to help enterprises adopt connected technologies faster, support new use cases, and build smarter, more responsive operations.”

“The Philippines represents one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic IoT growth markets, and we see this partnership with PLDT Enterprise as a significant step in realizing that potential,” shared Manish Arora, Executive Director and Chief Revenue Officer of 6D Technologies. “Our platform is built to give operators the speed, visibility, and flexibility to launch and scale IoT services on their own terms — and we look forward to putting that to work for Philippine enterprises.”

By combining PLDT Enterprise’s network strength with 6D Technologies’ platform flexibility and automated lifecycle management, the collaboration aims to help more enterprises deploy connected solutions that are easier to manage, more responsive to operational needs, and built for long-term growth.

Keep emergency numbers within reach: A home safety reminder for Filipino families

Tweet

Emergency preparedness begins at home. Beyond keeping basic supplies such as food, water, medicine, flashlights, and batteries, every household should also have a clear communication plan in case of an emergency.

This includes knowing whom to call, keeping important emergency numbers visible, and ensuring family members have an accessible way to contact emergency hotlines, barangays, hospitals, relatives, or first responders when needed.

As families use different ways to stay connected every day, having a dedicated home phone line can be part of a household’s broader emergency preparedness plan. A landline gives family members, including children, seniors, and household helpers, a fixed and familiar way to contact emergency hotlines, barangays, hospitals, relatives, and first responders when urgent assistance is needed. More importantly, it helps give families added peace of mind at home, knowing that there is an accessible way to call for help when it matters most.

It also serves as an additional communication option at home, especially when family members need to quickly coordinate during an emergency.

Keep emergency numbers visible at home

A prepared household does not only know how to call for help. It also knows who to call.

Families are encouraged to keep a list of important emergency numbers in a visible and accessible area, such as beside the landline, on the refrigerator, near the main door, or in the family emergency kit. This helps ensure that anyone at home can act quickly, even under pressure.

Here are some important emergency numbers Filipino families may keep on hand:

●       National Emergency Hotline: 911

●       Philippine National Police: 117 / (02) 8722-0650

●       Philippine Red Cross: 143

●       MMDA Hotline: 136

●       Bureau of Fire Protection: Check the nearest local fire station or local government emergency hotline in your area.

●       Barangay / City / Municipal Emergency Hotline: Keep local emergency numbers updated and visible at home.

The Philippine Information Agency also reported that the Unified 911 Emergency Hotline handled more than 5.2 million calls from January to April 2026, showing how vital emergency hotlines have become for Filipinos during urgent situations.

Make emergency calling easier for everyone at home

To help households stay prepared, families may also consider the following:

1. Post 911 and other emergency numbers where everyone can see them. Place 911 prominently at the top of the list, followed by other important emergency numbers such as the local barangay, city rescue, fire station, hospital, and police hotlines. Keep the list beside the telephone, on the refrigerator, or in common areas where anyone at home can easily find it.
2. Teach children and seniors how to call for help. Make sure they know when to call 911, how to state their name, location, and the nature of the emergency, and who else  in the family to contact
3. Save local numbers, not just national hotlines. Barangay, city, municipal, hospital, and local rescue numbers can be reached more quickly and be more relevant depending on the situation.
4. Include communication in the family emergency plan. Aside from food, water, flashlights, and medicine, families should also prepare reliable ways to call for help and contact loved ones.

Emergency preparedness is not about relying on only one way to stay connected. It is about ensuring households have clear, accessible, and dependable ways to call for help, stay informed, and respond quickly.

Through its connectivity solutions, PLDT Home supports Filipino families in building safer and more connected homes. With fiber internet plans bundled with a landline phone, households can maintain a dedicated home communication line that supports everyday connection and emergency preparedness.

5 new ways to connect to Mom this Mother’s Day Weekend – and beyond!

Tweet

Celebrate your female inspo with these fun and fresh activities to do at Expo Mom 2026, powered by PLDT Home Fiber

Photo credit:Ketut Subiyanto via Pexels 

Mother’s Day has always had its usual hallmarks and rituals every year: the early morning bouquet while the sunshine is still soft, the frantic search for a dinner reservation (before the actual Sunday, of course), and the familiar chorus of "Thank you, Mom" when it’s time to serenade her.

But as the dynamics of the Filipino family evolve, so does the way we celebrate the women at the heart of our homes. Today’s mothers have evolved beyond their traditional roles – now more empowered than ever, they are entrepreneurs, digital navigators, and lifelong learners. And while they may not always say it, most of the time our moms crave more than just a token gift; they crave the connections with their loved ones, especially their children.

If you’re looking to change it up and move past the usual routine of lunch, flowers, and a gift for Mama, here are a few meaningful ways to bond with her this Mother’s Day weekend at Expo Mom, hosted by Mommy Mundo and powered by its official broadband partner PLDT Home Fiber:

1. Artistic reflections with mom

Instead of buying a card, spend an hour in a creative flow. Creative spaces at Expo Mom, like junk journaling and portrait painting offer a rare moment of pause. It’s a chance for moms to reconnect with their own identities through art, while children – young or grown – get to see a different, more expressive side of their mothers.

2. Disco dancing during the day!

There is a unique kind of joy found in movement. When was the last time Mom danced her heart out? If it’s been a while, take her to a "Daytime Disco for Moms,” as dancing should be a high-energy reminder that motherhood shouldn't mean the end of fun. Let her let loose, shake off the weekly stress, and simply enjoy the rhythm of being together.

3. Shopping with a story

Support can be a form of celebration. Browsing through the MamaMarket lets the whole family meet mompreneurs behind the brands and products your family will love. It’s an inspiring way for families to see the creativity and resilience of the community while picking out something special that supports another family’s dream.

4. Listening to insightful talks

Motherhood was never meant to be a solo act. Attending support group sessions or listening to onstage talks provides a sense of "I see you." For families, hearing these honest conversations about the realities of parenting at the Community Connections space fosters a deeper empathy and understanding for what Mom handles every day.

5. Strutting it out!

Confidence is the best outfit, and seeing moms walk the runway during the fashion show is a vibrant celebration of style at every stage of life. It’s a moment for the whole family to cheer from the sidelines, celebrating the individuality and grace that Mom brings to the household.

Simplifying how businesses equip and scale teams

For organizations, deploying devices across teams often involves multiple vendors, contracts, and activation processes. By consolidating these into one solution, the bundled offering helps streamline sourcing and onboarding while improving visibility for IT and procurement teams.

The Great Pirate Era isn’t just streaming – it’s landing in real life. In the Philippines, the journey begins at select PLDT stores, complete with an exclusive one month free broadband promo when you apply for Fiber Netflix 1599

GMA actor Vince Maristela (center) joins content creators Klen Cos, Awie De Guzman, Cholo Tolentino, and Prince De Guzman (left to right) set sail as the Straw Hat crew, bringing the world of One Piece to life at the PLDT Store 

With two successful seasons and a recently confirmed third one, One Piece on Netflix has transcended the screen. What started as a beloved manga and anime has become a global phenomenon, arriving just in time for summer, when the call to adventure feels impossible to ignore. The Great Pirate Era is here, and fans everywhere are answering it.

Across the world, One Piece has evolved into an “experience.” At the famed Netflix House Philadelphia, for instance, fans can step inside an escape room where teams of 6-12 race against time to uncover clues, solve puzzles, and find the hidden Devil Fruit through the show’s iconic locations.

If you’re dreaming of your own grand escape this summer – stepping onto the Going Merry or testing your mettle against the sea’s most notorious villains without having to fly to the States – you’re in luck. You can do all of that right in any of these real-life One Piece gimmicks and activations which are already making waves around the world.

For one, it’s no surprise that the birthplace of the series – Japan – offers the wildest experiences: from the towering life-sized statues in Kumamoto (the creator’s hometown) to the immersive Tokyo One Piece Tower (which long served as a pilgrimage site). Beyond these landmark installations, fans can also find themed cafes and pop-up events in Shibuya as if they’ve just walked into a panel of the manga.

In Australia, the One Piece buzz has reached fever pitch with exclusive screenings and massive fan gatherings. Major cities have seen public installations that celebrate the show’s record-breaking viewership on Netflix. The One Plus Piece Cafe in Melbourne, for one, features a large-scale Tony Tony Chopper installation and series-themed memorabilia.

But if all of that seems daunting – or downright expensive – you don’t need to cross the Red Line to join the adventure. Right here in the Philippines, home to one of the largest One Piece fandoms in the whole world, PLDT Home is transforming its physical stores into an immersive One Piece experience. It’s also the only telco in the country to bring this Netflix partnership to life.
