The Home WiFi Prepaid units form part of the proceeds from the PLDT Home-sponsored virtual concert, At Home with PLDT: No Learner Left Behind held in July last year. The company supports the No Learner Left Behind movement which aims to maintain quality education of students affected by the pandemic with projects and partnerships to deliver the tools and proper learning environments.

The livestreamed concert was conducted for the benefit of students, educators, and schools nationwide. Donations during the virtual event were coursed through the PSF PayMaya and bank accounts.

“We really appreciate these donations from PLDT. Thank you! The Home WiFi Prepaid will be a great help to teachers in their online classes. These units will be distributed to them as soon as possible and we will immediately send to PLDT the list of schools actually receiving the units.”
