 PLDT Home subscribers from across the country took home life-changing prizes, including ₱1 million in cash, a brand-new Toyota Fortuner, and Free Broadband for Life, during the grand awarding ceremony of the One Mega Giveaway (OMG) promo held in Manila.

PLDT Home celebrates the inspiring stories of the One Mega Giveaway (OMG) winners together with Toyota Motor Philippines. (L-R) PLDT Home Sr. Marketing Specialist Jester Javier; PLDT Home AVP & Head of Home PR, Influencer Management and Brand Advocacies Maxine Loyola; Toyota Motor Philippines’ Brand Officer Jerome Arcilla, Brand Management Officer JC Gaon, Vice President for Marketing Services Elvin Luciano; PLDT Home AVP & Head of National Acquisition Marketing Byox Gonzales, Sr. Marketing Specialist Shy Pantinos and AVP & Head of Home Fiber Irwin de Guzman.

 

Now on its second year, the nationwide promo celebrates inspiring stories of everyday Filipinos whose lives have been transformed through the power of reliable connectivity. The awarding event gathered PLDT Home and Toyota Motor Philippines executives in a meaningful celebration of connection, resilience, and hope.

“Every year, we meet subscribers whose stories remind us why we do what we do,” said

Patrick S. Tang, PLDT First Vice President and Head of Home Acquisition Marketing. “At

PLDT Home, we aim to make every connection truly meaningful, not just by providing strong and reliable internet, but also by creating opportunities that empower families to work, learn, and thrive while winning life-changing rewards.”

A Simple Life, a Million-Peso Blessing

A million-peso dream come true for PLDT Home’s OMG grand winner Geresa Constantino 

Each morning before sunrise, Geresa Constantino puts on her red cap and apron at the small fast-food stall where she has worked for two years. Her partner, an electrician, heads to a nearby construction site while their five-year-old daughter stays with her in-laws. Life is simple, and every peso counts for this hardworking family.

When Geresa decided to apply for a PLDT Home Fiber connection, she only wanted to make the most out of her earnings by ensuring her family stayed connected every day. Weeks after installation, her phone buzzed with a message that would change her life forever. She had just won ₱1 million.

“May nag-text po na nanalo ako. Akala ko isang libo lang ’yon, one million pala!” she laughed. “Blessing po talaga ito. Hirap po ng buhay namin kaya ang laking tulong nito. Pinag-iisipan namin magtayo ng maliit na grocery o piggery at baka pwede makasal na rin kami.”

For Geresa and her family, the win is more than luck. It is a testament to faith, hard work, and the possibilities that come with staying connected.

A Brand-New Journey on the Road Ahead

It’s going to be a brand-new journey for the family of PLDT Home’s OMG grand winner of Toyota Fortuner, Andrea Sartorio.

In Bacolod City, Andrea Sartorio, a medical intern, was busy adjusting to her hospital duties when she learned she had won a brand-new Toyota Fortuner through the OMG Promo. She had just applied for PLDT Home Fiber on the day she moved to Bacolod, following her landlady’s advice that PLDT Home was the most reliable in their area.

“Honestly, just having Wi-Fi that fast already felt like a win for me,” Andrea shared. “Then I found out I won a Fortuner, I couldn’t stop smiling.”

Toyota Motor Philippines celebrated a key OMG moment and presented the grand prize, a 2025 Toyota Fortuner, to Andrea Sartorio. Present at the event were Toyota Motor Philippines Vice President for Marketing Services Department Elvin Luciano, Brand Management Officer JC Gaon, and TGR Brand Officer Jerome Arcilla.

 

Andrea plans to give the vehicle to her parents in Iloilo as a family reward and as a new asset to support their poultry business. Her story shows how meaningful connections can open doors to new opportunities and shared blessings.

Winning Free Internet for Life

In Quezon Province, Mirasol Cura, 52, found her own version of winning big. A mother of two, she subscribed to PLDT Home Fiber simply to ensure stable internet for her children’s schooling. What she didn’t expect was to receive Free Broadband for Life.

“Hindi ko po talaga akalaing mananalo ako,” she said. “Kinuha ko talaga ang PLDT Home para sa pag-aaral ng mga anak ko. Ngayon, hindi ko na iintindihin ang bayad buwan-buwan. Ang laking ginhawa po talaga. Parang nabigyan kami ng tulong para siguraduhin ang kinabukasan nila.”

For Mirasol, the prize is more than convenience. It is a lifeline that secures her children’s education and her family’s future.

Aside from the grand prizes, ten winners took home P100,000 in cash, while another ten winners received free broadband for one (1) year.

Through the One Mega Giveaway (OMG), PLDT Home continues to go beyond connectivity by empowering Filipino families to live better, dream bigger, and stay meaningfully connected. Each winner’s story is a reminder that every PLDT Home connection holds the power to transform lives and create life’s biggest OMG moments
