Many universities must now pivot to adapt to the new learning environment that has become digital-first. In its commitment to empower institutions of high education through digital solutions, PLDT Enterprise, the B2B arm of the country’s largest fully integrated telco PLDT, is equipping the University of Northern Philippines (UNP) in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, with technologies to enhance its services and operations.

PLDT is supporting UNP in improving information access, streamlining processes, and expanding learning opportunities for both students and educators.

“Finding the right technology and integrating them into teaching, especially in today’s evolving learning environment, is crucial,” says Mitch Locsin, First Vice President and Head of Enterprise and International Business Groups of PLDT and Smart. “That is why we are proud to be part of the solution that provides the University of Northern Philippines with digital services that will create a positive impact towards their transformative change.”

PLDT will be upgrading UNP systems with Microsoft O365, providing faculty and students easier and smarter ways to engage in their academic work, and enabling them to communicate better through email, Teams, and other O365 functions.

“PLDT remains committed to providing world-class ICT solutions that promote university-wide digital transformation,” reiterates Vic Tria, First Vice President and Head of Enterprise Revenue Group for Domestic Enterprises and Public Sector at PLDT Enterprise.

“We trust PLDT and its proven expertise in providing top-notch digital services,” says Dr. Erwin Cardona, University of Northern Philippines President. “With PLDT’s capabilities and our university’s readiness, we are confident in going into this transformative journey that will change the academic community for the better.”

The University of Northern Philippines is a premiere State University located in Vigan, Ilocos Sur providing future-ready learning environment for students through technology and innovation.
