Held at the CCEAP headquarters in Taguig, the session was more than a corporate training\u2014it was a strategic move to future-proof a mobile workforce. PLDT Empowers Coca-Cola Employees with Cyber Readiness<\/p>\n
The goal? Equip Coca-Cola employees\u2014especially those frequently on the move\u2014with the knowledge and tools to manage devices, navigate roaming, and avoid digital threats.

From Roaming Woes to Roaming Wins<\/h3>\n
One of the key highlights of the workshop was helping employees master international roaming. PLDT\u2019s experts broke down how to configure roaming settings, monitor data usage, and subscribe to Smart\u2019s Gigaroam packages based on travel needs. These packages offer seamless and affordable connectivity abroad\u2014no more hunting for Wi-Fi in hotel lobbies or racking up surprise charges.<\/p>\n
Participants also learned how to identify the right customer support touchpoints, ensuring help is just a call or tap away. It\u2019s the kind of practical know-how that turns tech from a headache into a helper.<\/p>\n
Cybersecurity: The New Travel Essential<\/h3>\n
Cyber threats don\u2019t take vacations, and neither should your security protocols. The workshop tackled mobile-based threats like SMShing and phishing\u2014those sneaky scams that can compromise sensitive data with just one click.<\/p>\n
PLDT\u2019s team walked employees through best practices for device care, password hygiene, and threat recognition. The message was clear: cybersecurity isn\u2019t just IT\u2019s job\u2014it\u2019s everyone\u2019s responsibility. Especially when your office is a hotel room and your network is public Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n
Percival Lawrence Ramos, Technology Services Director at Coca-Cola Philippines, put it best: \u201cHaving a partner like PLDT Enterprise who guides us even after deployment\u2014translating complex solutions into real-world usage\u2014makes all the difference in driving smarter and more secure business operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

That means ongoing support, tailored solutions, and a relationship built on trust\u2014not just tech.<\/p>\n
Addressing Enterprise Pain Points<\/h3>\n
Let\u2019s be real\u2014managing mobile plans, roaming settings, and data usage can be a logistical nightmare for enterprise teams. The workshop was designed to tackle these pain points head-on, offering clear, actionable strategies for streamlining mobile operations.<\/p>\n
From choosing the right plan to optimizing device performance, the session helped Coca-Cola employees cut through the noise and focus on what matters: staying connected and staying secure.<\/p>\n

By closing knowledge gaps and providing hands-on training, PLDT is helping manufacturers future-proof their workforce\u2014one SIM card at a time.<\/p>\n
Why It Matters<\/h3>\n
This initiative isn\u2019t just about tech\u2014it\u2019s about trust. It\u2019s about giving employees the confidence to travel, connect, and collaborate without fear of digital disruption. And it\u2019s about showing that when enterprise partners invest in people, not just products, the results speak for themselves.<\/p>\n
Because in the end, a secure workforce is a productive workforce. And that\u2019s a win for everyone.<\/p>\n
