This award is not only significant to Converge, but to our country, as this means that the world now recognizes our efforts to reach more unserved and underserved Filipinos and provide them access to world-class connectivity. We will continue to innovate to bring superior and differentiated products as well as exceptional service at the best value in the market, said Mr. Romero in his acceptance remarks.

The PTC Awards recognize international carriers and technology firms that are stretching the limits of the ICT field and providing telecommunications breakthroughs.

The awards criteria are based on qualitative such as bridging the digital gap and community effect as well as quantitative measures like revenues, profitability, and subscriber reach.

According to Converge, their customer base grew to 1.5 million in 2021 and as of the end of the 3rd quarter last year, their network had passed over 9.6 million residences. This translates to 37.6 percent household coverage across the Philippines, putting Converge on track to meet its expedited goal of covering around 55 percent of households by 2023.

In addition, PTC is an award-giving body to acknowledge Converge's impactful improvements and technological competence. Other notable award-giving bodies are the Asia Corporate Excellence and Sustainability Awards, the Asia CEO Awards, and the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards, to name a few.
