Over 8.6 Million reached on PLDT, Smart, Mental Health PH Twitter conversations

Tuesday, March 8, 2022

As part of its month-long efforts for Safer Internet Day, PLDT and Smart, through its Better Today program, collaborated with Mental Health PH, through its #UsapTayo program. The Twitter Conversations focused on #UsapangSafety, to be better digital citizens. To date, the #UsapTayo collaboration has garnered over 8.6 million impressions on Twitter.

The conversations on Twitter Spaces featured Sangguniang Kabataan youth leaders Councilor Levy Orcales from Baguio City, Cynth Nietes from Butuan City, Genise Delos Reyes and Christine Dizon from Tarlac City. Dr. Jake Villanueva, a Psychiatry Resident from the National Center for Mental Health, also joined the conversation.

When it comes to navigating the Internet space, SK Butuan Federation President Nietes shared that being safe online means that we understand and recognize how we’re using the Internet and how it affects us and the way we relate to other people. “Being better on the Internet means that we respect each other. We must set boundaries online, especially when we engage other people. The Internet is just like a public space where you’re not alone. You must empathize with what others are going through. When we respect each other, we are making the Internet a safe space where it can be an instrument of empowering people,” Nietes said.

For Dr. Villanueva, the Internet is a double-edged sword and a powerful platform to communicate with others. “Ultimately, the Internet can be a healthy platform to start meaningful conversations online. A safe space on the Internet is where you can be yourself, where you can share your thoughts, feelings and experiences without being discriminated [against], abused, or harassed. It makes you feel empowered,” Villanueva said.

#UsapTayo is a regular tweet-chat about mental health, happening every zeroes (10th, 20th, 30th) of the month that aims to zero the suicide cases and stigma against mental health.

Better Today is a key part of PLDT and Smart’s continuing commitment to help the Philippines contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG), particularly UNSDG #3 that stands for good health and well-being, and UNSDG #16 that stands against abuse, violence, and exploitation of children.

PLDT, Smart pilot Paybox kiosks in key stores for customer convenience

Friday, February 25, 2022

As part of its push to support and simplify the lives of their customers, PLDT and its wireless unit Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) have launched Paybox, a self-service payment kiosk machine in key stores. Through Paybox, PLDT and Smart customers can pay their phone and internet bills conveniently and safely.

Payments will also be reflected real time on their accounts. 

Soon, customers will also be able to purchase Smart and TNT prepaid load, do sales and aftersales payments, process corporate bills payments, and update their accounts without having to queue inside the store.

“We continue to develop platforms and innovations that make things simple and easy for our customers. Ultimately, it is about truly putting customers at the center of our business and being committed to best serve their interests and needs,” said Alfredo S. Panlilio, PLDT Inc. and Smart President and CEO. 

For its pilot run, Paybox kiosks have been set up in the following PLDT and Smart stores: PLDT Ramon Cojuangco Building, Makati City; PLDT Paco, Manila; PLDT Las Piñas; Smart Tower One Digital Store, Makati City; SM North EDSA; SM City Bacoor; and SM City Sta. Rosa.

PLDT drives discussion on ‘unlocking AI’s potential’ for PH business recovery

PLDT drives discussion on ‘unlocking AI’s potential’ for PH business recovery

Wednesday, January 26, 2022

PLDT led discussions on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in helping drive business process optimization for the benefit of enhancing economic activities, progres, and recovery in Cebu during the recent ICT/BPM Summit.

Along with other technical experts in the ICT sector, PLDT Technology Strategy and Transformation Office Technical Manager Paul Edward Alvarez tackled the untapped potential of AI in helping companies drive forward in their digital transformation journeys. 

“Demand for Machine learning and Ai and data skills continue to increase globally. For companies that have adopted AI, there have been very visible positive effects both on the top line with new services and cost savings in operations,” said Alvarez. 

PLDT is currently exploring Artificial Intelligence to benefit and enrich the over-all customer experience of subscribers. These include enhancing its operations through AI-Ops, better understanding of its customer journey through AI-based analytics, and automating service fulfillment through service orchestration. 

“This is technology available today which we can already start with. A lot of enterprises, globally, are just starting, and there is a huge potential that we can miss. We need business leaders today who will make AI part of their business strategies – from the very top of leadership and clearly communicated to the entire organization,” he added.

Highlighting further possibilities with AI, he stressed how it is estimated that over 40 billion people and devices can be served with AI in the next five years. “There is a lot of fear with AI but understanding AI will help us do our work better and serve customers better. AI has grown to be very powerful – it has given design thinking, lean methodologies, and learning/failing fast a tailor fit tool for the job,” he added.

PLDT continues to forge ahead on nation-building through pioneering new and rising technologies in the country. To further create the platform ready for the adoption of AI and future ways of working, it is accelerating the roll out of 5G services, constructing new and enhancing existing globally recognized state-of-the-art data centers with Hyperscalers, and aggressively expanding its fiber footprint and network coverage across the archipelago.

Priority for AI implementation should be trust, not regulation – UnionBank data science, AI expert

Priority for AI implementation should be trust, not regulation – UnionBank data science, AI expert

Wednesday, January 12, 2022

Dr. David Hardoon, UnionBank Senior Adviser for Data & Artificial Intelligence, was recently invited to discuss his views on data science and artificial intelligence (AI) at an EFMA Sustainability & Regulation Community Best Practice Forum. 

The Data & AI expert believes that “regulating AI is the wrong goalpost,” arguing that the objective must be safety first and equality, promoting trust in the technology. Adding that there are safety nets to mitigate the risks associated with it. 

"Data, and to an extent, the AI as a mechanism and tool which manifests possibilities out of data, is an onion,” Hardoon said. "And what you find with this onion is that it's not just about data. It's not just about application. It's not just about consumer engagement. It's also about history. It's also about our understanding of our own current behavior. It's essentially opening up an immense view that potentially, previously, we were completely unaware of.”

Dr. Hardoon explains that AI may broken down to at least three buckets. First is data, which may be historically good or bad as it is a genuine representation of issues or errors that happened in the past or may happen moving forward. Then there is the AI system itself, specifically the approach of extracting information from the available data. And finally, there is the operationalization of the information that comes out.

"When thinking about operationalizing AI governance, it is imperative to have a broad appreciation of the risk that comes from your available historical data—the potential disadvantages, or errors, or issues, or elements that may result in lack of trust that may come from that," Dr. Hardoon cited.

He emphasized that the most important thing about operationalizing AI within an organization is trust. Dr. Hardoon likened this on how individuals trust their closest friends and family members.

"Our trust in them isn't that they always are correct or even always tell the truth, but it is in their ability to say 'I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Allow me to correct myself.' That is the exact same principle which we need to hold ourselves accountable for when we're applying new technology, in making sure we're putting in place safety nets, in assuring that we are able to validate what we're doing and making sure that we are doing the right thing."

Dr. Hardoon said that part of the ‘peeling’ process, especially of a new set of technology, is best to still have people in the loop.

"Not that the human may be any better, but we trust humans so far a bit more right now, until we get to that stage of realizing it's good. Or perhaps in certain areas, we must simply accept that AI should never play a role, because we want to have the ability of continuous intervention in terms of outcome," Dr. Hardoon concluded.

It also takes into account localized behavior unique among communities such as nationality. 

“Nudgyt is like Jarvis for your business. Just a very intelligent system that uses Behavioral science and machine learning to help organizations make better decisions about their people. Nudges are essentially a prompt that changes behavior,” explains Yu. 

Yu’s winning pitch also expounded on the program’s potential to analyze customer behavior that could help sales and relationship managers prepare and offer custom-fit solutions to potential customers based on data and analytics. She further elaborates how companies like Google and Facebook are widely using nudges to increase sales for their customers. 

“We at Nudgyt have already been able to deliver value to some of our clients, increasing their productivity by over 500%, increasing sales by 600% as well as helping them hire and retain talent who perform twice as better, and stay twice as longer,” she added. 

The team behind Nudgyt took home Php 150,000 as cash prize, 5G Smartphones, Fortinet routers, 1-year free subscription to PLDT’s Beyond Fiber service, and the opportunity to collaborate with the PLDT Group to further develop their solution.

TECNO, a rising superstar as a global smartphone brand of the new generation, releases its latest CAMON 18 series in the Philippines - CAMON 18 Premier, CAMON18P and CAMON18, pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a professional camera smartphone in anti-shaking and clarity. The new CAMON 18 Premier brings together the best of the CAMON series, such as TAIVOS, Super Night Mode, and Selfie Mode, and combines this with an all-new Ultra-steady Gimbal Camera, a 60X Hybrid Zoom, and even more enhanced AI features for achieving professional videography.
