Huawei donates $200,000 to PLDT Smart Foundation (PSF) to help fund the corporate responsibility (CSR) programs of PLDT Inc. and Smart Communications Inc.
The CSR initiatives for funding to be determined by both PSF and Huawei will include disaster response, rehabilitation and recovery, promotion and enhancement of education in the country, environmental conservation, and the use of the technology in health services.
"I would like to thank Huawei for the $200,000 donation to PSF, which will go a long way in supporting our CSR programs like education, disaster relief, environment, telehealth, and many more," said PSF Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan.
The partnership between Huawei, PLDT and Smart began years ago when the tech giant donated disaster relief equipments such as tents, rechargeable lights, and other tools for PSF's disaster response program. From there, Huawei also contributed 13 sets of school-in-a-bag that contains Huawei laptops for Smart's education program, and the recent telehealth equipment for Makati Medical Center and Cardinal Santos hospitals.
The company intends to continue the partnership and support more programs and initiatives of PSF according to Daniel Guo, Huawei Vice President.
Huawei operates in over 170 countries and regions, and serve more than three billion people around the world. It is the leading global provider of ICT infrastructure and smart devices.
"The initiatives were chosen to align with the program sectors of PSF, as well as to highlight the technology solutions of Huawei. These programs are also aligned with Huawei's overall CSR strategy," said Ma. Esther Santos, PSF President.
"Moving forward, PSF project will try to inject technology solutions enabled by technology companies Huawei and PLDT-Smart. This is also aligned with PSF's vision-mission of a connected, empowered, progressive Philippines," added Santos.
PSF, which serves as the social outreach arm of PLDT and Smart, has created programs focused on education, livelihood and social enterprise, disaster response and recovery, youth, arts, and sports development.
