Philippine Long Distance Telecommunications also known as PLDT is said to be

the largest telecommunications company in the Philippines. It is also the leading
telecommunications service provider in entire country. With a wide range of services
across the Philippines, it offers the most extensive fiber optic backbone and fixed line.
Even though there is a wide and wanton changes happening around the world, there is
one will remain steadfast, their company commitment of serving the nations and
providing communications solutions to every Filipinos. What the new law hoped to
achieve was to interconnect these "intercom" systems into a seamless nationwide
network that would facilitate communication and delivery of services to the people, as
well as spur economic development in the countryside. Today, Manuel V. Pangilinan is
the Chairman of the Board of PLDT and Napoleon L. Nazareno is the President and
CEO.
We are really blessed and grateful to have plant visit in a company that is really
related to our course. Knowing for a fact that PLDT is one of the famous
telecommunications company, if not the most, it is really a big pleasure for us to conduct
a tour even if it is just their sub-office in Paraaque. The plant tour started. After a talk to
our coordinator, we are instructed to go into a place where it is called the Main
Distribution Frame, also known as the MDF room. Guess what we saw? From what we
expected, it is almost the same, just not that the feeling of being amazed and dont
forget the chill of too much aircon. And maybe the reason to that is the maintainance of
equipment in good condition. The feeling of likeness to be in a Telecom company is
what I had felt inside. Let me tell you what I saw, there were wires, posts, towers, boxes
and shelves connecting to each other. At first I am a bit odd but after the information has
given, we are become mindful. It is told to us that this solid wires coupled to each routes
is a way of telephone coupled to PLDT server. Also impart of it is the records, the
duration and signal it possess. The wires in each shelves is called the Krones; inside of
it are ports where you can actually record the conversations that you had. This becomes
more interesting for us because it is something that might be useful and different. This,
we had learned that this room is the genuine connection all subscribers of PLDT to each
other. This plant tour makes me really want into the field of Telecommunication. Maybe
not for the salary from what I heard but for information that this will imposed to me,
maybe this plant tour serves as a reminder.
