The top telecommunications company in the Philippines, Eastern Communications, won a Bronze Stevie Award at the 2024 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, gaining recognition on a global scale. The organization that bestows awards recognizes exceptional commercial accomplishments throughout the area, honoring companies and individuals that exhibit success in a range of industries.
“We are honored to be recognized once again by the APAC Stevie Awards. This win reaffirms our role in driving the digital transformation in the Philippines. We will continue to empower businesses and communities through our infrastructure expansion and ICT education initiatives,” said Atty. Aileen Regio, Co-Coordinator of Eastern Communications.
With its statewide push to strengthen its infrastructure, increase its footprint, and service varied telecommunication demands throughout the Philippines, Eastern won the bronze award for Innovation in Technology Management, Planning & Implementation (Telecommunications Industries).
By the end of 2023, the company had effectively expanded its network reach by over 98% with a dedicated expenditure of Php 4.3 billion. One of its primary strategic objectives was the installation of terrestrial and submarine cable infrastructure in underserved areas, enabling improved connectivity and access to digital services.
Eastern’s continued support for the nation’s digital transformation was exemplified through its collaboration in the Philippine Domestic Submarine Cable Network (PDSCN) project, establishing resilient undersea fiber-optic connectivity to 24 segments and 33 points of interconnection (POIs).
Moreover, the company maintained its position as an industry thought leader by securing the bronze recognition for Thought Leadership Campaign of the Year once again. Its B2B campaign for focus industries provided valuable insights and support across key industries to navigate the challenges of the post-pandemic market.
Through strategic partnerships with industry associations and business chambers, Eastern Communications launched the Ehuddle and Eastern Huddle campaigns that featured webinars, on-ground learning sessions, and events focused on topics such as resilience, digital transformation, and future-proofing businesses.
“We believe that digitalization will propel businesses forward. By sharing our expertise to Filipino enterprises, we not only support their individual growth but also contribute to the economic progress of our community and stakeholders,” said Vince Tempongko, Eastern Communications’ Co-Coordinator.
“As we continue to launch new products and build meaningful partnerships, we endeavor to bring innovations that will drive sustainable growth and progress across the nation,” he added.
