Power 89.1 FM - On the lighter side of things...

Othmann: 30 Years of Trust and Reliability in the Piping Industry!

In 1994, with nothing more than a modest rented office in Quezon City and a small but determined team of five, Othmann Inc. set out on a mission to transform the Philippine piping industry.

Fast forward to today, Othmann stands tall with over 100 passionate employees, a remarkable portfolio of 50,000 successful projects, and a reputation as the go-to provider of high-quality solutions for PPR, HDPE, and CPVC piping systems. Its partnership with nine out of 10 top developers in the Philippines and the installation of over 23 million meters of pipes speak volumes about its capability and dependability.

"We value our humble beginnings and where we came from. These milestones are not just numbers. They represent countless hours of hard work, meticulous planning, and a relentless pursuit of innovation,” says Mr. Yu, General Manager.

Revolutionizing the Piping industry

Othmann’s unwavering commitment to excellence has led to the development of advanced piping systems that set industry benchmarks. Starting with the introduction of its flagship brands, Rehau Rautitan and Polymutan PPR, Othmann has further diversified its portfolio to include some of the most trusted global brands in the piping industry, such as Geberit HDPE, Donsen PPR, and Flameblock CPVC.

In 1994, Rehau Rautitan forever changed the local plumbing industry with its leak proof plastic technology. The Geberit HDPE Sovent System reinvented drainage systems in 2010, becoming the first company to successfully supply a drainage solution that provides larger living spaces to developers and owners in the Philippines. And today, Wexan PPRCT is the newest, upgraded material from PPR.

By working hand in hand with industry-leading suppliers from Germany, the U.S., Korea, and China, Othmann consistently develops and brings innovative piping solutions into the Philippine market.

"Our achievements are rooted in providing 100% genuine, high-quality products, onsite technical and installation support, and prioritizing exceptional customer service. We ensure our clients' success by offering comprehensive sales and technical support throughout the entire project, guaranteeing a smooth and hassle-free experience from start to finish,” says Mr. Yu, General Manager.

Othmann’s primary objective has always been to introduce products that offer significant improvements over conventional products. Its products are designed to provide simpler installation and maintenance free operations for 50 years, ensuring that customers receive high quality plumbing systems that last a lifetime.

“Our commitment to understanding and meeting the unique needs of each project has driven us to offer the most comprehensive technical support and top-tier products available in the market. By fostering close collaborations and maintaining the highest standards of integrity imbued with malasakit, we have built enduring relationships that stand the test of time,” stresses Mr. Yu, General Manager.

Charting New Horizons

As the company celebrates its 30th anniversary, Othmann is excited to embark on a strategic expansion of its operations in Cebu. Recognizing the vibrant growth and immense potential of the region, Othmann is committed to enhancing its presence and capabilities to better serve its clients in the Visayas.

"Our investment in Cebu marks a crucial step in our growth strategy," shares Jessery Cuizon, Othmann Cebu Branch Head.

"In 2022, we established a larger office and warehouse space in Mandaue City. This year, we are taking our commitment a step further to meet the rising demand for high-quality piping solutions. By doing this, we aim to ensure that our clients receive the best support and products possible.”

As it marks three fruitful decades, Othmann extends its heartfelt gratitude to its clients, partners, and employees who have been part of this incredible journey and have been instrumental in the company’s success. Othmann looks forward to the next 30 years of innovation, excellence, and building even stronger partnerships.

PH improves ICT index standing but still lags globally
Globe calls for removal of barriers to connectivity...

Globe welcomes the Philippines’ advancement in the latest ICT Development Index of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as it calls for greater collaboration to remove barriers to connectivity.

This, as the Philippines continues to rate below the global average, lagging behind its neighbors in Southeast Asia.

The 2024 edition of the index released by the ITU, a specialized agency of the UN, scored the Philippines 74.4, an improvement by 14% from last year. But this score is still below the global average of 74.8 and way behind Southeast Asian neighbors such as Singapore, which scored 97.8, Malaysia with 95.0, and Thailand at 91.0.

The Philippines’ score places it among the lowest five in the region, better only than Cambodia (72.6), Laos (65.3), Myanmar (63.8), and Timor-Leste (39.2).

“We are optimistic that we can score even higher in the global ICT Development Index. This should serve as an impetus for all stakeholders including industry players and the government to work more closely to address persistent gaps in our connectivity infrastructure,” said Ernest Cu, Globe President and CEO.

“The private sector has poured several billions in resources for ICT development. We cannot do it alone. There are barriers that can only be addressed through strong collaboration among the industry, government, and other stakeholders,” said Cu.

Greater ICT investment

Cu reiterated that the country needs more substantial investments in digital infrastructure. The private sector has invested a combined PHP 640 billion in just three years, from 2021 to 2023, to upgrade the quality of the country’s connectivity infrastructure.

Globe alone has invested Php 265 billion in capital expenditure and Php 236 billion in operational expenses in the past three years to enhance its network capabilities.

In contrast, the Department of Information and Communications Technology invested only Php 7.6 billion for internet infrastructure from 2018 to 2024.

The Private Sector Advisory Council, a Malacañang-initiated body that brings together industry players, has called on the government to allocate at least Php 240 billion to improve internet infrastructure and work with the private sector to build 35,000 new cell sites across the country.

The Connectivity Plan Task Force (CPTF), led by Cu under the PSAC, is also working with the DICT for the rollout of connectivity infrastructure in Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs). Globe’s network currently reaches over 500 GIDAs.

Policy reform

Globe also reiterated its call for policy reform to allow connectivity to flourish.

These include the provision of space for telco infrastructure in housing developments and the removal of lease fees for telco infrastructure in buildings and developments through amendments to the outdated National Building Code (1977). Bills seeking this reform are still pending in Congress.

“Telcos should not be charged for installing infrastructure inside buildings and developments that will provide connectivity, which is now a basic necessity like power and water. It is a life enabler, supporting commerce, people’s livelihood, education and leisure needs,” said Cu.

Globe also hopes for the full implementation of Executive Order No. 32, issued in 2023 to streamline the permitting process for telco infrastructure. Globe notes how certain local government units still find ways to circumvent the order, making the approval of permits difficult and slow for telcos.

Broadband access

Amid policy gaps that hinder connectivity, Globe continues to find ways to make broadband connection more affordable to Filipinos.

Last year, Globe launched GFiber Prepaid, which seeks to democratize connectivity by offering fiber-strong broadband connection for as low as Php 33/day. Rolled out in line with Globe’s drive for digital inclusion, GFiber Prepaid offers flexible and reloadable UNLI internet access with no lock ups and monthly bills.

Globe also looks forward to the implementation of the government’s National Broadband Plan, which aims to provide free WiFi connectivity across the country. This project involves the development of a neutral fiber backbone to provide connectivity for government agencies and government-led last mile projects.

PLDT, Smart strengthen anti-OSAEC efforts in Naga City, Cebu...

PLDT and its wireless unit Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), together with Bidlisiw Foundation, Inc. and Terre des Hommes Netherlands (TdHN), bolster the child safeguarding initiatives of the City Government of Naga in Cebu province, emphasizing education and awareness in combating online sexual abuse or exploitation of children (OSAEC).

“Our commitment has always been to provide a safe digital experience for all our customers, especially Filipino children. By collaborating with local government units, we can promote internet safety in more communities and encourage the public to help end OSAEC,” said Marylou B. Gocotano, Stakeholder Management Visayas Relations Head at PLDT and Smart.

Over 80 educators and barangay social workers in Naga City have participated in the training on understanding Republic Act 11930 or the Anti-OSAEC and Anti-Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM) Act, and Republic Act 11862 or the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act.

Organized by the Naga City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), this initiative aims to empower the whole community to take part in the fight against OSAEC and human trafficking by providing them with the necessary knowledge to effectively address these forms of criminal activity online.

PLDT and Smart gave a talk on the basics of internet concepts and global internet and usage statistics, as well as helpful tips on cybersecurity, highlighting the group’s efforts on child protection and internet safety.

April Dianne Bacus-Sasan, Violence Against Women and their Children (VAWC) and Gender and Development (GAD) focal person at Barangay Cabungahan, expressed her gratitude in being part of this initiative. “This training is a great opportunity for us to improve our skills and become more effective in our roles, helping us better serve the women and children in our community,” she said.

“We are grateful for PLDT and Smart’s courage in pushing forward their advocacies to protect children, together with Bidlisiw Foundation and TdHN. May this inspire other private institutions to join us in combating OSAEC and human trafficking through policy strengthening and continuous public education,” said Kathryn April Osorio-Briones, Social Welfare Officer III at Naga CSWDO.

Boosting local government units’ child protection initiatives forms part of PLDT and Smart’s commitment to help the country attain UNSDG 16 which promotes just, peaceful and inclusive societies including the end to abuse, exploitation, trafficking and all forms of violence against and torture of children.
