Converge ICT Partners with FHMoms to Help Power Freelance-Working Women

Converge ICT, the country’s fastest-growing pure fiber internet service provider, has partnered with Filipina Home-based Moms (FHMOMS), one of the most influential online communities today. The partnership was officialized through an exclusive pure fiber connectivity program called Converge M.A.M.A. (Making All Moments Awesome). The program intends to ensure more meaningful connectivity experiences for WFH or freelance-working women.

“We have always been committed to upgrading the Filipino online experience, and that is rooted in our families. Mothers play a major role in that. Forging partnerships with such groups as FHMOMS can only amplify our efforts to help improve qualities of life through our pure fiber technology.” said Jesus Romero, Converge ICT Chief Operating Officer.

The Converge M.A.M.A is a program dedicated to strengthening the community of women who are committed to enriching how they take care of their families by continuously improving themselves through technology. They are forward thinkers who leverage on sharing fresh ideas, new concepts, and meaningful trends. Since the majority is at home, these women have maximized the use of the internet for tutorial videos, informative podcasts, Zoom meetings, video calls, and social media interactions. With the reliability of pure fiber connectivity, these power women can better exchange insights and pursue passions to enable them to do what they do best.

“As mothers who, like everyone else, are trying to pursue our dreams and improve our ways of life, FHMOMS is happy to partner with Converge. The pandemic has made it more challenging for freelancers or small-business owners like us. Having an internet connection that we can truly depend on is important now more than ever.” Said MK Bertulfo, founder of FHMOMS.

The said program is designed to provide easier access to reliable connectivity to the community members by offering easy payment options and customizable internet plans such as the Converge FiberX Time of Day. Members will also get to take advantage of exclusive content to help them learn about a wide range of topics like business, technology, social media strategies, housekeeping, inspirational/motivational stories, and more.

“We’ve been working hard to provide our market with products that can address the market’s true needs. For the modern women of FHMOMS, such innovations like our Converge FiberX Time of Day – which allows you to double your speeds without doubling the price – will bring great value to what they are trying to accomplish every day.” quipped Romero.
