Converge partakes in Fiber Network Council APAC 2024
The Fiber Network Council APAC, the Asia Pacific’s organization of broadband and telecommunications industries, held its flagship conference in the Philippines on November 5.
Learn MoreConverge business centers across the country have opened their doors to communities impacted by severe tropical storm Kristine (international name: Trami), as flooding and power outages continued to affect towns and municipalities in Luzon.
“Where we can, we’ve deployed resources to those affected by severe tropical storm Kristine. We’ve made it a practice to stop business center operations so that these can serve as temporary shelters for those in need. As we speak, we are earmarking funds for distribution of relief packs in some of these affected areas,” said Converge CEO and Co-Founder Dennis Anthony Uy.
Business centers in hard hit areas such as Naga, Legazpi, Bayombong, Gapan, Candon, Vigan, and Laoag served as temporary shelters, provided charging stations, and offered free Wi-Fi to stranded residents. Particularly in Naga, in partnership with Ravenous Communications, Converge distributed sustenance to those affected.
Converge also assures subscribers that it has deployed repair teams since the brunt of the typhoon hit yesterday and assessment of some areas’ power requirements are ongoing. In areas with massive power outages, Converge deployed generator sets to temporarily power up its network until commercial power becomes available.
As of Friday afternoon, Converge has restored over 70% of its network facilities affected by the typhoon. Most of its business centers have also returned to normal operations.
Converge is also taking stock of the needs of its more than 2,000-strong workforce and aiding the most vulnerable and those mostly affected by the typhoon.
