In a statement, the telecommunications giant said it provided PLDT HOME service to residential areas in BGC such as One Serendra, Two Serendra, Bellagio One, and One McKinley Place, as well as upcoming properties like the Grand Hyatt Manila Residences and Uptown Parksuites.
“As a cosmopolitan community, BGC residents have a strong demand for high-speed broadband given their digitally-driven lifestyles. PLDT HOME Fibr fulfills this demand,” PLDT First Vice-President and Head of Home Business Marco Borlongan was quoted as saying.
