Converge is considered as the youngest and most robust end to end fiber network in the Philippines and has been narrowing the digital divide and advancing digital democracy as the world undergoes rapid digitalization.

The company’s mission is to extend connectivity to the farthest and least developed areas of the Philippines to empower all Filipinos and businesses, Uy concluded.
