Eastern Communications, a leading telecommunications company in the Philippines, strengthens local businesses in Cagayan de Oro, through the launch of its full product portfolio and active participation in industry association initiatives.
Recent data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Regional Office 10, shows an impressive 7.2% surge in the economy of Northern Mindanao in 2022. This growth translates to a substantial economic output of PHP 935 billion (at constant 2018 prices), presenting an opportunity that can be maximized for its localities.
“At Eastern Communications, we acknowledge the pivotal role we play in fostering growth, connectivity, and innovation within the local business community. We are honored to contribute to Cagayan de Oro’s thriving success, as it has always been our goal to inspire localities and businesses to evolve every day with our help,” said Eastern Communications’ AVP and Head of Marketing Jed Estanislao.
Eastern Communications entered the city in 2021. As part of its ongoing expansion, Eastern Communications reaffirmed its commitment to establishing a strong presence in Cagayan de Oro by partnering with the local government and local industry associations, engaging with more businesses to introduce its diverse and robust product portfolio, tailored to meet the specific needs of local enterprises. Its goal is to see the city as a thriving first-class urbanized district in Northern Mindanao,

Meeting Local Businessmen Where They Are
To expand its presence in the city and connect with local businesses, Eastern Communications sponsored the Cagayan de Oro Investment Forum, an initiative by the government of Cagayan de Oro and Cagayan de Oro Chamber of Commerce and Industry Foundation. This forum aims to attract potential investors interested in expanding their businesses in the city, aligning with the government’s efforts to reinforce and enhance the city’s economic growth.
Moreover, Eastern Communications actively participated in the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) Business & Beers Event. This event served as a platform for dynamic conversations, idea exchange, and knowledge sharing among industry experts and thought leaders.
Meanwhile, the Via Eastern Cagayan de Oro was held on October 18, 2023, at the KaVe Restaurant in Limketkai Luxe Hotel, Cagayan de Oro. The signature launch event provided an avenue for stakeholders and local media to connect and foster collaboration and innovation in the city.
