#PLDT88 Hackathon Challenge held to commemorate PLDT’s 88th year

TELECOMMUNICATIONS and digital services provider PLDT continues its search for the most innovative solutions in enhancing customer experience by bringing the #PLDT88 Hackathon Challenge to Visayas and Mindanao.

As part of its 88th anniversary celebration on Nov. 28, the #PLDT88 Hackathon Challenge highlights the PLDT Group’s commitment to continuously enhance customer experience. It is also an avenue through which the company can provide support for the local developers nationwide, finding innovative solutions designed to enhance customer experience for the millions of PLDT HOME and SME Nation subscribers.

“This hackathon is a fitting way to celebrate our 88th anniversary. Developing innovative digital solutions to improve customer service is fully aligned with our ongoing digital transformation,” said PLDT chairman and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan.

Organized by PLDT Innolab and the public affairs group, the VisMin leg will be held simultaneously in Cebu and Davao on Nov. 19 and 20 where teams from the Visayas and Mindanao will pitch their ideas and solutions. The Davao hackathon will be held at the PLDT Innolab in Ponciano, Davao City, while the Cebu hackathon will be held in PLDT Innolab in Mabolo, Cebu City.

During the two-day event, each group will be tasked to create a digital solution based on the suggested categories of customer experience concerns defined by experts during the pre-hackathon event. Each group is given five minutes to pitch their ideas and present their prototypes in front of the judges. Judges can ask their questions, and participants can demonstrate and expound on their solutions given the challenge.

The top three groups with the best ideas and digital solutions will be declared the winners of the VisMin leg. The winners for the VisMin leg will receive P15,000 each as a group, along with some exciting prizes. All winning groups will then compete at the Ultimate Pitch, along with the three winners from the Luzon leg.

The three winning teams from the VisMin leg will compete in the ultimate pitch event in Manila on Nov. 24 against the winning teams from the Luzon leg for the chance to win P100,000, other exciting prizes, and an opportunity to get their ideas fully developed and implemented.
