PHI

Pldt Inc.

A Philippines telecommunications giant, PLDT runs the country's largest network of wireless, fixed-line, and fiber services, with everyday brands like Smart, TNT, and PLDT Home used by households across the islands. It began in 1928 when the government merged four separate phone companies into one to finally link the nation's disconnected, city-by-city "intercom" phone systems. A fun retell: just a year after founding, it strung the first long-distance call between Manila and the mountain city of Baguio.
