“As digital platforms increasingly shape how Filipinos live, learn, work, and transact, online safety must be embedded into the infrastructure that connects them,” PLDT Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer Menardo “Butch” Jimenez, Jr. said in a statement.
“The PLDT Group continues to strengthen cybersecurity, advance responsible AI, and apply security‑ by‑ design across its networks,” he added.
Data from the group showed that it has blocked 49 billion access attempts to malicious domains, and 208,000 access attempts to Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) URLs and content.
