PLDT wins Philippines' best telco service: Asiamoney
MANILA, Philippines, Sept. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Underscoring the company's commitment to excellent customer experience, PLDT Inc. clinched the Most Outstanding Company in the Philippines award under the Telecommunications Services Sector category of Asiamoney's 2021 Outstanding Companies Poll.
Over 1,071 fund managers, analysts, bankers and ratings agencies took part in the voting. In total, over 5,787 votes were received for publicly listed companies across 13 markets in Asia.
The most diversified and fully integrated telecommunications company in the Philippines was lauded for excelling in financial performance, management team excellence, investor relations, and corporate social responsibility. Being recognized by Asiamoney for its commitment to excellence verifies the revitalized customer-centric push of PLDT and its wireless unit, Smart Communications Inc., with customers being the North Star for all group-wide efforts.
Guided by their core corporate value of malasakit (compassion), PLDT and Smart's laser focus on elevating customer experience traces its roots to the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020.
When lockdown restrictions forced Filipinos to stay at home to work, study, and stay in touch with loved ones, PLDT and Smart's passion and purpose for the customer drove the whole organization to step up, amid the increased need for connectivity and digital services.
Under the most difficult conditions, PLDT and Smart delivered excellent service to customers, which is key to ensuring resilience for every community.
