CLARK FREEPORT – “We at Converge reiterate our commitment to help raise the quality of education in the country, but most especially here in Pampanga, because this is where the heart of Converge is. Pampanga is our home.”

Thus, Converge ICT Solutions co-founder and CEO Dennis Anthony Uy reaffirmed his company’s corporate social responsibility to the home community at Thursday’s signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Mabalacat City government led by Mayor Crisostomo Garbo on the installation of free internet service and provision of free learning tablets.

The MOU is in support of the CDC-OB-Bloomberry Pagsasarili Family Care Centers in Barangay Marcos Village and Sitio Calapi in Mabalacat City.

Initiated by then Clark Development Corp. chair and now Converge chair Jose “Ping” de Jesus in 2019, the Aeta Pagsasarili project is supported by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. and Bloomberry Cultural Foundation Inc., which built two of five learning centers in Sacobia through a P47 million grant.

The OB Montessori Center developed the education modules and trained teachers to mentor in two centers for young students in Pampanga and Tarlac.

Aside from Uy, Garbo, and De Jesus, the other signatories to the MOU were CDC chairman Atty. Edgardo Pamintuan, CDC president-CEO Atty. Agnes VST Devanadera, CDC assistant VP for administration and finance Engr. Mariza Mandocdoc, and CDC assistant VP for external affairs Rommel Narciso. Punto News Team/Contributed photos
