Eastern Communications has allocated P1.04 billion for capital expenditure (capex) this year in line with its ongoing national expansion and rollout of fiber network services.
Eastern said the capex was allotted to augment expansion efforts into more emerging sites and business hubs, while continuing its network infrastructure improvements and restoration across the country in 2023.
This year, the company said it will continue its Via Eastern expansion campaign and extend its coverage across Visayas and Mindanao to provide more services to Filipinos. Eastern added its cutting-edge technology and customer service through its Philippine Domestic Submarine Cable Network, which recently landed in Zamboanga, will also be available in the remaining sites, Liloy and Dipolog in Zamboanga del Sur; Maasin, Leyte; and Mactan, Cebu.
Eastern said it will soon hold its Via Eastern launch in Zamboanga, one of its major expansion areas, to offer business-grade connectivity and digital solutions to customers in the area.
“Because of the expansion and the increase in the number and the quality of our services, there has to be a shift in our competency to provide the quality service that our customers need and expect so Eastern Communications and its people will continue to evolve,” said Aileen Regio, Eastern’s co-coordinator.
“Our nationwide expansion will be completed by the end of the year,” added Vince Tempongko, Eastern co-coordinator.
