Converge mobilizes relief efforts for areas affected by severe tropical storm Kristine

Business centers in hard hit areas such as Naga, Legazpi, Bayombong, Gapan, Candon, Vigan, and Laoag served as temporary shelters, provided charging stations, and offered free Wi-Fi to stranded residents. Particularly in Naga, in partnership with Ravenous Communications, Converge distributed sustenance to those affected.

Converge business centers across the country have opened their doors to communities impacted by severe tropical storm Kristine (international name: Trami), as flooding and power outages continued to affect towns and municipalities in Luzon.

“Where we can, we’ve deployed resources to those affected by severe tropical storm Kristine. We’ve made it a practice to stop business center operations so that these can serve as temporary shelters for those in need. As we speak, we are earmarking funds for distribution of relief packs in some of these affected areas,” said Converge CEO and Co-Founder Dennis Anthony Uy.

Converge also assures subscribers that it has deployed repair teams since the brunt of the typhoon hit yesterday and assessment of some areas’ power requirements are ongoing. In areas with massive power outages, Converge deployed generator sets to temporarily power up its network until commercial power becomes available.
