PLDT-Smart Foundation, Inc. (PSF), the social outreach arm of the country's largest telecommunications conglomerate, the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) and its wireless subsidiary, Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) is now online.
"Through the PSF website, we aim to inform the public on our activities, raise awareness and generate support for projects." said Butch Meily, PSF President.
