PLDT SME Nation beefs up support for business sector
MANILA, Philippines - PLDT SME Nation reinforced its support for the country’s business sector through its sponsorship of a series of conferences mounted by the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI).
Serving as the sponsorship highlight was the awarding of 24 netbooks to the local chamber presidents and regional governors who have submitted the complete list of their membership database.
“Wherever there is an opportunity to help in the growth of the business sector, especially the new ones, expect PLDT SME Nation to give it a strong backing. PCCI’s database shows the potential of this sector and that is where we come in,” said PLDT SME Nation community consultancy head Gabby Cui, who was present to hand out the netbooks.
The event was held at the Heritage Hotel and coincided with the culmination of the 34th Philippine Business Conference and Expo, one of the series of conferences that PLDT SME Nation had supported.
The 24 netbooks that were given away were on top of other units that PLDT SME Nation provided to the best performing local chapters.
Three netbooks were also given to the major awardees of the Best Workplace POPDEV Programs and Policies (Local Chamber, Corporations and Corporate Foundations), five netbooks for the major awardees of the Best Local Chamber (NCR, North Luzon, South Luzon, the Visayas, Mindanao) and three netbooks for the major awardees of the Excellence in Ecology in Economy (small, medium, large).
The 34th Philippine Business Conference and Expo held at the Manila Hotel was the fourth and culminating gathering of the PCCI members that PLDT SME Nation sponsored.
PLDT SME Nation earlier had sponsored the 16th Metro Manila Area Business Conference, the 17th Visayas Area Business Conference, the 17th Mindanao Area Business Conference, and the 17th North Area Business Conference.
PLDT SME Nation was created to support the growth and development of small and medium-scale businesses in the country.
It has been creating business-enabling solutions that help ease the workflow and operations of startup and developing businesses.
The netbooks form part of the needs of startup businesses today, and PLDT SME Nation continually creates solutions for the benefit of Filipino entrepreneurs.
