PLDT Inc., the Philippines’ biggest telecommunications company, has officially filed its 2025 Annual Report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 28, 2026, according to a disclosure sent to the Philippine Stock Exchange.
What Does This Mean?
Think of an annual report like a detailed report card that a company gives to the government and to people who own shares in the company. It shows how the business did during the whole year – similar to how your school report card shows your grades and performance.
PLDT had to file this report with the U.S. SEC because the company doesn’t just sell shares in the Philippines – it also has something called “American Depositary Shares” that are traded in New York, which is one of the biggest stock markets in the world.
About the Filing
The report, called “Form 20-F,” covers PLDT’s business activities from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. This is a standard requirement for foreign companies (companies not originally from the United States) that have their shares traded on American stock exchanges.
According to the disclosure by PLDT’s Assistant Corporate Secretary Mark David P. Martinez, the document has been made available to the public on PLDT’s website under the investor relations section.
About PLDT Inc.
PLDT is the largest integrated telecommunications company in the Philippines. To put it simply, PLDT is the company that helps people make phone calls, send text messages, and connect to the internet.
The company operates through two main business areas: fixed line services (like home internet and landline phones) and wireless services (like mobile phones and mobile internet). PLDT runs the most extensive fiber optic network in the Philippines – these are special cables that help internet and phone signals travel really fast.
PLDT is traded on two stock exchanges: the Philippine Stock Exchange where it uses the symbol “TEL,” and the New York Stock Exchange where it uses the symbol “PHI.” The company is one of the biggest in terms of market value among all companies listed in the Philippine stock market.
What This Filing Represents
This submission fulfills PLDT’s legal obligations under Philippine securities regulations, specifically Section 17.1 of the Securities Regulation Code, which requires companies to report significant developments to regulators and the public. The filing ensures transparency and keeps investors informed about the company’s performance and operations during the 2025 fiscal year.
