Eastern Communications Backs Government Agenda for a Digital-First PH

MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Eastern Communications upholds its support for the Philippine government’s digital-first agenda, rolling out initiatives that enhance connectivity, promote digital literacy, and expand access to quality education.  From supporting the May 2025 electoral count and bringing internet access to remote schools to expanding its regional footprint, Eastern Communications is exceeding expectations in strengthening the country’s digital foundations.

“As a trusted technology partner, Eastern Communications is proud to stand alongside the government and like-minded private organizations in advancing digital transformation across the country,” said Atty. Aileen Regio, Co-Coordinator of Eastern Communications. “Through our efforts in connectivity, digital education, and regional expansion, we remain focused on enabling progress and inclusive growth for Filipinos everywhere.”

With a strong commitment to nation-building, Eastern Communications reinforces its mission of making technology more accessible for every Filipino by empowering institutions, communities, and individuals in today’s increasingly digital society.

Reliable connection for 2025 elections and remote classrooms
Eastern Communications played a vital role in supporting the May 2025 electoral process by providing stable and secure connectivity during the official vote count held at The Manila Hotel in Ermita, Manila. The telco provider’s reliable services enabled seamless real-time reporting and operations throughout the high-stakes national event.

“[Eastern’s] provision of reliable and high-quality connectivity services played a crucial role in ensuring the smooth and uninterrupted transmission of data and communications throughout the entire electoral process,” said Atty. Joey Lina, President of The Manila Hotel, expressed his gratitude in a formal letter for Eastern Communications’ support during the official vote count.

“In moments when precision, efficiency, and transparency were paramount, [Eastern’s] commitment to service excellence significantly contributed to the integrity and success of this important national event,” Lina added.

Eastern Communications also strengthened its advocacy for inclusive digital access through its reaffirmed partnership with global non-profit Unconnected.org and the Department of Education (DepEd) to connect remote and underserved schools across the country. The initiative aims to bring internet connectivity to learners and educators in far-flung areas, providing them with the tools and opportunities to thrive in an evolving digital world.

Under this partnership, Eastern Communications has begun delivering internet connectivity to several schools this year, including Panicuason Elementary School in Naga on July 15, San Jose Elementary School in Dipolog on July 22, and Namabbalan Integrated School in Tuguegarao on July 24.

Additional schools slated for turnover in August are Paopao High School in General Santos, Capisan Elementary School in Zamboanga, Patrocino A. Lachica Integrated School in Aklan, and Alambre Elementary School in Davao. These schools represent a significant step in the initial phase of the program, with three more schools to follow in the coming months.

Growing presence in Mindanao, educating local IT talent
Eastern Communications is accelerating its regional expansion, with a particular focus on Mindanao. The telco provider is set to officially launch its services in Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte on July 22, 2025, followed by General Santos City in the third quarter. These launches are part of the company’s broader effort to strengthen its presence in emerging business centers and help stimulate local economies through improved digital infrastructure.
To provide a secure and robust infrastructure, Eastern expands its reach through an ultra high capacity backbone transmission Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Network. This cutting-edge technology delivers Terabits per second (TBPS) bandwidth, ensuring highly reliable and scalable connectivity across the country. Its capacity can also be replicated or expanded based on the demand, with spare fibers connecting various islands.
Alongside its connectivity rollouts, Eastern Communications continues to drive awareness and skills-building through its educational campaigns. Programs like “Access Eastern” and “Brown Bag Sessions” offer hands-on workshops, panel discussions, and learning opportunities for local IT professionals and community leaders, arming them with essential tools to participate meaningfully in the digital economy.

“These initiatives are about more than connectivity, they’re about empowerment,” said Eastern Communications Co-Coordinator Jaeson Evangelista. “We believe that every Filipino deserves a seat at the digital table, and we’re doing our part to ensure that nobody is left behind.”
With over 145 years of service, Eastern Communications remains committed to its “High Tech” and “High Touch” promise, combining cutting-edge technology with personalized service that builds trust and drives impact.

TinBo Brings Home to Hong Kong: A Celebration of Freedom and Filipino Pride at HK Fest 2025

For four vibrant days, Hong Kong felt like home for thousands of Filipinos living and working there. HK Fest 2025 was more than a celebration—it was a tribute to the strength, heart, and unity of the Filipino community abroad.

From June 12 to 15, PLDT Global Corporation (PLDT Global), through its one-stop online marketplace Tindahan ni Bossing (TinBo), together with partners MQuest Ventures and Philippine Airlines, led the celebration of Philippine Independence Day with a series of events that brought the best of Filipino culture, cinema, and entertainment to the city. It was a reminder that no matter how far Filipinos are from the Philippines, home is always within reach.

 

“HK Fest is our way of honoring every Filipino in Hong Kong,” said Albert Villa-Real, President and CEO at PLDT Global. “We’re grateful to our partners and the community for making this possible. TinBo is proud to be part of your journey. This celebration is also a tribute to the strength and resilience of overseas Filipinos—their ultimate sacrifice to care for their families and secure a better future is nothing short of heroic.



On June 12, the Philippine Consulate General in Hong Kong hosted a National Day Reception for overseas Filipinos and guests. Consul-General Romulo Victor M. Israel, Jr., Mrs. Catherine Joy P. Israel, and the honorable Secretary for Justice of Hong Kong Paul Lam were in attendance. The crowd was serenaded by Filipino musicians based in Hong Kong, and Asia's Diamond Soul Siren Nina. 

 


Overseas Filipinos have fun at the TinBo booth during the Makabayan Film Fest in Hong Ko



Fans in Hong Kong got to meet stars like Enchong Dee, Sid Lucero, Sue Ramirez, and Cedrick Juan in intimate conversations hosted by Ana Ramsey.

 


On June 14, the spotlight turned to the Philippine Association in Hong Kong Charity Ball held at The Ritz-Carlton. The evening honored Filipino excellence, including a special tribute to business leader and PLDT Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan for his contributions to nation-building and support for overseas Filipinos. The night sparkled with performances from Randy Santiago, K Brosas, Donita Nose, Nina, and Richard Poon.

 


The celebration peaked on June 15 at Chater Road with Saludo 2025 -- a whole day event that featured the best of Philippine talents, from Filipino Communities in Hong Kong representing the different regions in the Philippines to the exciting performances by celebrities. Senator Raffy Tulfo joined the crowd, and the cast of Eat Bulaga—led by Bossing Vic Sotto—brought joy and laughter to the stage. The event also marked the official launch of TinBo’s newest campaign, Alagang Bossing, featuring Vic Sotto, which celebrates the everyday heroism of overseas Filipinos. TinBo also awarded a loyal ePadala user in Hong Kong with the Alagang ePadala certificate and P100,000. Winners from New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, and Australia were also announced during the event. Another lucky TinBo user in attendance won P100,000 on the spot during the raffle draw.    

TinBo is a one-stop digital platform that empowers overseas Filipinos abroad to support their families in the Philippines. From bills payment and mobile load to healthcare, insurance, and e-gift vouchers TinBo makes caring across borders simple and meaningful. Filipinos abroad can download the TinBo app via Google Play or the App Store, or visit www.tinbo.ph to start sharing the love with their families in the Philippines.

HK Fest 2025 was a celebration of freedom, family, and Filipino pride. And through it all, TinBo stood by every kababayan—proving that distance can never break the bond of home
