Top billed by the country’s music icons and artists, the initiative aims to raise funds to address the needs and challenges of Filipinos as they face the new normal in digital learning.

The virtual concert gathers Filipino musical artists led by National Artist for Music Maestro Ryan Cayabyab together with OPM icons Regine Velasquez-Alcasid alongside husband, Ogie, Martin Nievera, and Pops Fernandez.

Also joining the initiative are musical theater artists including 8 Taal Ensemble, Sheila Valderama, Yanah Laurel, Lara Maigue, Gabriela Pangilinan, Gian Magdangal, Arman Ferrer, Flord Tena, and David Ezra.

Surely, music unites people as PLDT Home’s free online concert brings Filipinos together in helping students, teachers and schools overcome the challenges they are facing in digital learning.

With the theme “At Home with PLDT: No Learner Left Behind,” PLDT Home partners with PLDT-Smart Foundation to aid schools and communities in providing “education for ALL” as they adapt to learning and teaching in the “new normal.” In support of the PLDT-Smart Foundation, PLDT Home banners the “No Learner Left Behind” movement – which has also been enacted as a “No Filipino Child Left Behind Act of 2010” – that will make education accessible to more students and teachers nationwide by making digital technology available and integrated in their learning activities.

For over 12 years, PLDT-Smart Foundation has been helping “build the nation, one teacher at a time” through its Gabay Guro education program that is anchored on the following core pillars: scholarship grants, teachers’ training, livelihood projects, teachers’ tribute, housing, broadbanding, computerization, and innovation.
