PLDT Global Corporation (PLDT Global), through its United States business arm PLDT US Ltd. and the US-Philippines Society is working on a strategic partnership aimed at bridging US-based business with investment opportunities in the Philippines. PLDT Global is the international unit of PLDT Inc. (PLDT), the leading integrated telco network in the Philippines.

The partnership between the US-Philippines Society and PLDT Global leverages the strengths of both organizations to streamline the investment process and provide guidelines to US companies interested in setting up operations in the Philippines. With its extensive network and industry expertise, PLDT serves as a preferred partner - offering US businesses access to network infrastructure, subsea investments, and global standard data center builds.

“PLDT’s digital and infrastructure investments are anchored to its commitment to nation-building. Our collaboration with the US-Philippines Society will enable PLDT Global to engage and encourage US businesses to expand their presence in the Philippines and maximize the robust, compliant, and resilient network of PLDT. This in turn can boost the local economy, generate jobs, and uplift the lives of Filipinos,” says Roselle Dela Cruz, Vice President - Americas and EMEA of PLDT Global.
