Bridging the Digital Divide: Access Eastern Initiative
Recognizing the importance of inclusivity in the digital age, Eastern Communications is extending its reach to regional cities through the “Access Eastern” thought leadership program. Launched in May 2024, the program covers key locations like Clark, Laguna, Cavite, Baguio, and Dumaguete, with more areas to follow. By engaging with businesses in regional hubs, Eastern aims to bridge the digital divide and ensure all Filipino enterprises have access to transformative ICT solutions.
