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.
