Eastern Communications yesterday said it has expanded its operation in Zamboanga, one of the economic hubs in Mindanao.
The company said the expansion is in line with its goal of democratizing technology across the country.
“2023 is Zamboanga’s year and we want Filipinos in the area to know that our services are now within their reach. Through this expansion, we look forward to empowering more businesses, families, and individuals through reliable connectivity and ICT services. We are confident we can provide them with an avenue to help them connect with each other and the rest of the world and enable them to grow their businesses,” said Aileen Regio, Eastern Communications co-coordinator.
Eastern said the $150-million Philippine Domestic Submarine Cable Network (PDSCN) project intends to enhance mobile and broadband connectivity by making fiber internet accessible in Zamboanga and other underserved areas in the Philippines.
To date, the company said the PDSCN project has reached a total of 33 sites, including Iloilo, Bacolod, Boracay, Cebu, Siargao, Camiguin and Zamboanga Peninsula, among others. – Myla Iglesias
