PLDT Kaasenso Cyberya offers livelihood opportunities to teachers

MANILA, Philippines - PLDT KaAsenso Cyberya announced its special offer to public school teachers as the country celebrates the National Teachers’ Month. All teachers who apply for a Cyberya package will get one month’s worth of free monthly service fee (P1,300) and free installation, originally priced at P1,100.

Cyberya is PLDT KaAsenso’s offering for entrepreneurial Filipinos who are looking to start their own business. It is an all-in-one Internet café package that allows users to surf the Internet for just P1. The package can be easily set up with two major requirements—a minimal capital investment and at least a barangay permit to operate.

“Internet access is now a basic need, especially in this digital age where almost anything and everything is online,” Ariel Fermin, PLDT executive vice-president and head for HOME business, said. “PLDT KaAsenso Cyberya has two-pronged objectives: while we help more micro-entrepreneurs to easily set-up their own business, we will also pave the way for the democratization of Internet access especially for the Filipino youth.”

 During the event, Department of Education assistant secretary Toni Umali acknowledged PLDT KaAsenso Cyberya’s unique potential as source of additional income for the teachers.   “In partnership with PLDT, Gabay Guro wants to empower teachers with the financial independence needed to build a better life for their families,” he added.

 Gabay Guro is PLDT-Smart Foundation’s flagship education advocacy project, working to help improve the quality of Philippine education by empowering its oft unsung heroes—teachers.
