ePLDT Inc., the country's leading enabler of digital solutions, has been awarded the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Service Provider of the Year Award for Fiscal Year 2019.

ePLDT's strong commitment to outstanding service, generation of substantial revenue impact leading to a positive Year-over-year (YoY) business growth, and delivering impressive solutions with partners that create real value, have led to this award.

We are very much honored by these awards and they further compel us to keep to our promise of delivering global-class ICT solutions."
