Philippine telecommunications provider PLDT offers extended free calls for overseas Filipino workers to maintain family connections during the ongoing Middle East crisis.
In response to the recent crisis in the Middle East, Philippine telecom company PLDT has announced an extension of its free call services for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) residing in the region. This initiative aims to support Filipino workers by allowing uninterrupted communication with their families back home amidst the turmoil. The extension reflects PLDT’s commitment to the welfare of the Filipino diaspora during challenging times. Official statements confirm no disruption to the offer for eligible subscribers, underscoring the importance of connectivity for overseas workers. This development is particularly significant for OFWs based in the Middle East, who constitute a large portion of the Filipino expatriate workforce. The move is aligned with broader efforts by Philippine authorities and service providers to assist nationals abroad during crises.
