Premier telecommunications company Eastern Communications pledged
over half a million-peso worth of support for those affected by the recent
Typhoon Odette through the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Operation
Blessing.
Committed to its call to bring back the human connection in
everything they do, Eastern Communications started a pledge project among its
employees. This allowed them to collect more than Php 572,000 monetary support,
which they donated to the said organizations in order to buy goods in kind for
affected families in Typhoon Odette-devasted areas.
The recent virtual donation turnover was held between representatives of Eastern Communications, Cebu Chamber and Operation Blessing. The pledged amount will be distributed by the groups in Cebu and other areas affected by the typhoon.
Moreover, Eastern Communications has extended support to its
affected employees by allocating part of the pledge to them, on top of the
company's calamity grant to ensure that they have the means to quickly recover.
Eastern Communications Covid-19 Task Force and Safety Committee
Chairman, Rene Castillo, who also heads the company’s task force for Typhoon

wanted to do what we can to help all the victims of the typhoon. By partnering
with Cebu Chamber and Operation Blessing, this gives us an opportunity to help
the people throughout multiple locations. We also want to focus on helping our
employees who have been challenged by the storm, in order to better serve the
