A PLDT Home subscriber who recently won ₱100,000 in the company’s One Mega Giveaway (OMG) promo has chosen to donate the entire cash prize to support relief operations for communities affected by Typhoon Uwan.
Marlowe Monsanto and his family, the latest OMG winners, turned over their winnings to the PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF) to help fund assistance for typhoon survivors as well as upcoming holiday relief programs for displaced families.
“When we learned about the ongoing Uwan recovery efforts, we knew we wanted our winnings to serve a greater purpose,” Monsanto said. “Through this, we hope to contribute to rebuilding communities.”
PSF president Esther O. Santos welcomed the donation, saying it would be used to purchase relief packs and support logistics for aid distribution in hard-hit areas.
“This reflects our shared responsibility for community welfare,” Santos said. “Their contribution will help bring stability to families who are rebuilding their lives after the disaster.”
With the holiday season approaching, PSF said its relief initiatives are shifting toward sustained recovery and morale-building activities for affected communities.
The foundation added that the One Mega Giveaway has also become a channel for subscribers and the company to work together in extending help to those in need.
PLDT Home said the OMG promo is part of its broader effort to reward customers while encouraging acts that strengthen community resilience, highlighting how individual contributions can support recovery efforts during times of crisis.
