“We are glad to have partners in Government like ARTA who believe in nurturing a business environment where bureaucracy can truly serve the people and help entrepreneurs prosper. This reaffirms our commitment to supporting the PBBM administration in whatever way we can, and our dedication to helping the country achieve its goals of inclusive growth and improved ease of doing business through technology,” Pangilinan said.

“This is more than just a partnership—it’s a catalyst for meaningful change, a bridge between the public and private sectors, and a testament to our shared belief in the transformative power of technology to improve lives. We extend our deepest gratitude to the PLDT group for placing its trust in ARTA to forge this partnership. Your unwavering support has been invaluable to our mission,” Secretary Perez said.

This initiative is also aligned with the PLDT group’s endeavors to narrow the digital divide, bring the benefits of the internet closer to more Filipinos across the country, and support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) particularly on SDG No. 9 – Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.
