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.
