#TechPH - Bridging the Digital Divide: Eastern Communications and Unconnected.Org Partner to Power Connectivity in 10 Underserved Learning Communities

Eastern Communications, a premier telecommunications and ICT solutions provider, has teamed up with Unconnected.Org to bring vital internet connectivity to ten geographically isolated and disadvantaged (GIDA) schools across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. This initiative aims to champion digital literacy and empower unconnected communities by providing free internet access to students, teachers, and the surrounding communities in remote locations.

Starting with eight target areas within Dipolog, General Santos, Tuguegarao, Naga, Kalibo, Bais, Davao, and Zamboanga, Eastern Communications is committed to ensuring that access to the internet becomes a basic need, especially for education and access to vital information. Jed Estanislao, Chief Marketing and Experience Officer of Eastern Communications, emphasizes, “We believe that access to the internet is no longer a privilege, but a basic need, especially for education and access to vital information. Through this partnership with Unconnected.Org, not only can we help bridge the digital divide but also drive digital literacy, especially in far-flung areas.”

The project officially commenced with a signing ceremony and joint planning session involving representatives from Eastern Communications and Unconnected.Org. Providing internet access to remote areas is key for unconnected citizens to participate in the digital economy, particularly for key educational institutions in GIDA.

With reliable connectivity, students from remote schools can supplement their classroom education with up-to-date online resources and explore more opportunities on the web. Beyond just connectivity, Eastern Communications and Unconnected.Org are committed to digital empowerment, with digital literacy programs planned for these schools. Estanislao adds, “This initiative reflects Eastern’s continued commitment to nation-building. By providing not just connectivity but also the tools to use it responsibly and effectively, we are investing in the future of these communities.”
