Eastern Communications strengthens its commitment to SMEs through continued support for Cebu Business Month

Eastern Communications reaffirms its enduring support for business development in the Visayas as it takes part in the launch of Cebu Business Month (CBM) 2026 on April 24. This milestone reflects more than a decade of collaboration with the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) in strengthening Cebu’s position as a vital contributor to the country’s economic growth.

Led by the CCCI, Cebu Business Month has grown into a leading business festival, gathering entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and key stakeholders through a vibrant mix of forums, trade fairs, networking events, and collaborative initiatives. Designed as a festival-style platform, CBM promotes innovation, investment, and cross-sector collaboration, while continuously supporting the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Cebu and across the Visayas.

Eastern Comms has been a consistent presence in this journey. For over a decade, the telco provider has been a steadfast partner in CBM, supporting initiatives that promote digital readiness and business resilience. Its participation reflects a broader commitment to empowering Filipino SMEs nationwide through reliable connectivity, managed ICT services, and tailored digital solutions that help businesses adapt to an increasingly digital and competitive landscape.

“Our partnership with Cebu Business Month and the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry has grown stronger over the past decade because we share a common goal: empowering businesses to thrive in a rapidly changing environment,” said Jed Estanislao, Chief Marketing and Experience Officer of Eastern Communications. “With over 146 years of service, Eastern Communications continues to evolve into a full-fledged tech solutions provider, committed to building resilient and reliable digital infrastructure that supports Cebu’s role as a thriving business destination and strengthens SMEs across the country.”

The telco provider’s role has only grown more relevant as digitalization becomes a baseline requirement for survival in today’s economy. Eastern Comms has continued to expand its portfolio of solutions designed specifically to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) nationwide, from internet connectivity products and managed services to initiatives like PDSCN (Philippine Domestic Submarine Cable Network) that strengthens inter-island connectivity and extends robust, high-quality digital infrastructure to underserved regions across the archipelago.

Regan King, President of Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, also highlighted the importance of sustained collaboration in advancing the goals of CBM.

“Our long-standing partnership with Eastern Communications reflects the kind of collaboration CBM was built on—one that enables innovation, strengthens enterprise capability, and drives regional competitiveness. As we continue to expand CBM as a premier business festival, partnerships like this help ensure that Cebu remains a vibrant hub for business and investment,” said Regan King.

Eastern Communications remains committed to providing the infrastructure and expertise needed to ensure resilience and sustainable growth as businesses navigate challenges shaped by digital transformation, economic shifts, and regional expansion opportunities

Moving forward, Eastern Communications and CCCI aim to further deepen their partnership, united by a common goal of empowering SMEs, driving digital transformation, and promoting inclusive growth across the Philippines.
