For thirty-seven years now, the Philippine Telegraph and Telephone Company (PT&T) continues to be one of the dominant domestic corporate entities. Incorporated in 1962 to answer the need of the Filipinos to communicate, PT&T continues to play an important role in the lives of many Filipinos, extending its reach even worldwide.

PT&T's strength lies in the vision and determination of its management team and shareholders. Investments in network, technology and people are all deeply grounded in what customers want and need. PT&T is one of the few companies that has strategically built itself to adapt to the rapidly changing market environment.

As trade and commerce among the islands progressed, so did the need for better, faster and more cost-effective means of communication. Realizing this, PT&T invested in the installation and operations of its own fully digital terrestrial microwave backbone. This gave the Company a competitive advantage of having a flexible and reliable telecommunications network with the widest domestic coverage possible.

Anticipating the demand for faster and more sophisticated telecommunications services, PT&T re-engineered its network to support broadband applications. Now, PT&T is moving to strategically position itself as a nationwide video, interactive and inter-carrier service provider and shall continue to be the provider of choice of multinationals with requirements for convergent applications.
