Converge net income surges 24% yoy to P5.3 billion, revenues grow 12.4% to P19.5 billion in 1H 2024

Leading fiber broadband provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. registered remarkable growth in the first half of the year, with net income surging 23.6% year-on-year to P5.3 billion and consolidated revenues growing 12.4% to P19.5 billion on the back of strong uptake of its residential broadband and sustained double-digit growth in its enterprise business.

Net additional residential subscribers of Converge more than doubled to 223,751 during the six-month period, a whopping 142% jump from 92,302 during the same period last year. This resulted in an 11.8% yoy growth in residential revenues to P16.6 billion in the first half of the year.

On the other hand, enterprise revenues increased by 16.0% yoy to reach P2.9 billion during the six-month period, following the rollout of products targeting the micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) sector and the expansion of regional enterprise sales.

“Our industry-leading performance in the first half of the year is a promising sign that 2024 will be another banner year for us. We see the demand for fiber broadband to remain unhampered, allowing us to continue reaching more and more Filipinos across different income levels with our flagship FiberX, low-cost postpaid BIDA Fiber, and prepaid Surf2Sawa offerings,” said Converge President and Co-Founder Maria Grace Uy.

As of end-June 2024, the consolidated subscriber base of Converge reached 2.35 million, a growth of 19.4% from 1.97 million as of the same month last year.

“With our recent commercial arrangement with Sky Cable Corp., we see these numbers as just the starting point. We expect the collaboration to bear fruit in terms of revenue growth, as we are bound to see increased port utilization and further monetize our network,” noted Converge CEO and Co-Founder Dennis Anthony Uy.

Converge remains to be the Fastest Internet Service Provider in the Philippines in 2024, as Ookla’s latest, independent survey among ISPs in the Philippines show a speed score of 147.77 - the best in the industry. This is the second year running that Converge has bested its competitors in speed and digital experience.

Last month, Converge also joined hands with Nasdaq-listed firm Ribbon Communications Inc. to expand its fiber network capacity from its existing 800 Gigabits per second (Gbps) to 1.2 Terabit per second (Tbps) per channel.

Solidifying its reputation as a first-mover in innovative technology, Converge also inked a cooperation agreement with global tech leader Super Micro Computer Inc., the US-based total IT solutions provider for artificial intelligence (AI), Cloud, Storage, and 5G/Edge, to pioneer AI-powered, green data centers in the Philippines.

“While we keep a firm handle on our fiber broadband products, we are by no means limiting our technology solutions to these. With the guidance of the Founders, we will continue to expand our business to encompass Filipinos’ digital needs,” said Converge Chief Operations Officer Jesus Romero.

Universal Cultural Foundation Inc. (UCFI) Supports Effort to Address Malnutrition

Universal Cultural Foundation Inc. (UCFI), the foundation under Universal Hotels and Resorts Inc. (UHRI) which owns and operates NUSTAR Resort Cebu, in partnership with Sacred Heart School Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC), has fulfilled its commitment to uplift the nutritional needs of malnourished students in three public elementary schools in Mandaue City.

UCFI donated P2 million to SHS-AdC on September 22, 2023 to carry out the Blue Plate Project, a feeding program initiated by the private institution in 2015 with Cubacub Elementary School as pilot beneficiary. SHS-AdC later expanded the feeding program to the public elementary schools of Cubacub, Casili, and Pagsabungan.

UCFI actively supports endeavors geared towards the restoration of cultural heritage and support programs on education, environment, and health.

“We value the communities we are part of and we drive opportunities that promote inclusion and betterment, be it through education or medical projects. The partnership with Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu is one of the many projects we are looking to establish here in Cebu and around the Philippines,” UCFI Director Katrina Mae de Jesus said.

Cubacub, Casili, and Pagsabungan elementary schools were the recipients of the donation of UCFI. The sum covered the cost of the daily feeding of the children, the construction of kitchens in the schools, and the provision of kitchen items and utensils. The kitchens were manned by parent-volunteers who had been trained on proper hygiene and food preparation and handling.

UCFI attended the blessing of the newly constructed kitchens, as well as the culmination program of the Blue Plate Project on May 17, 2024.

Preschool and grade school pupils classified as wasted (low weight for height) and severely wasted (severe acute malnutrition) had access to nutritional food every school day for at least 120 days. Studies have shown that malnutrition hurts the health, school attendance, and academic performance of students.

The Blue Plate Project aims to set up a supportive learning environment that fosters the holistic development of the children of the beneficiary schools.

Aside from the Blue Plate Project, UCFI partnered with the Emmanuel and Jinkee’s Pacquiao Heart Foundation for the Feed The Poor Project in General Santos City in December 2023. It also helped renovate health and educational facilities in the Municipality of Opol, Misamis Oriental and in General Santos City in 2023 and 2024. Also in 2023, UCFI also made a donation to support artistic and cultural endeavors of the Chapel of San Pedro Calungsod in Cebu City, Cebu City Cultural and Historical Affairs Foundation Inc., and the Asian Cultural Council of Philippines Foundation Inc.

In May 2024, UCFI also donated to the Cebu City Cultural and Historical Affairs Foundation Inc. to restore and preserve heritage buildings, monuments, and sites in Cebu City. To date, UCFI has donated more than P10 million to various causes around the country.

CREBA Cebu Chapter Urges Members to Adhere to Regulations

The Chamber of Real Estate Builders Association (CREBA) Cebu Chapter continues to advocate for strict compliance with regulations for building construction among its members.

CREBA President Catherine Cusi emphasized the importance of adhering to government construction standards set by relevant agencies and ensuring the quality of real estate projects.

Ms. Cusi underscored that compliance should be a priority for all projects as part of the chapter’s goals. "We must uphold integrity and commitment in delivering projects on time as a core group of professionals dedicated to providing decent homes to our buyers," she stated.

"No matter how simple the project, it is essential to comply with all rules and regulations governing the construction of commercial and residential developments," she added.

During the recent general meeting held at the Cebu Exchange Tower, Engr. Emmanuel Espina, Acting Division Manager for the Planning & Monitoring Division of Metro Cebu Water District (MCWD), discussed plans to increase the water supply in Cebu.

Engr. Espina noted that MCWD aims to meet 63% of the total water demand in its service area within the next 10 years, doubling the current 30%. He highlighted that most of this increased supply would come from desalination plants due to the unreliability of groundwater sources, which are affected by saltwater intrusion, nitrate contamination, and unregulated water extraction.

In addition, Bess Ann Dizon, Manager and Broker Channel Manager of Arthaland Corporation, presented the company’s various projects. Arthaland, a publicly listed company, has developed multiple office and residential projects across Metro Manila and other regions, including the Cebu Exchange Tower on Salinas Drive, Cebu City.

“We are known for being green and sustainable, and we hold quadruple certifications. All our projects are pre-certified gold,” Ms. Dizon stated. She added that Arthaland’s projects have achieved LEED and BERDE certifications, offering 40% savings in electricity and water consumption.

The meeting also featured presentations from Magna CMGN Solutions Inc. and Aventus Medical Care Inc.

Ms. Izarrah Romero of Magna highlighted the company’s product offerings, including textured paints, odorless paints, polyboards, and lighting solutions. "We also provide exterior and interior fit-outs and specialize in design. Our motto is ‘infinite possibilities.’ When challenges arise, we create solutions. We adopt a solution-focused mindset for everything,” Ms. Romero explained.

She also mentioned the company’s goal of collaborating with architects and interior designers to integrate their materials into innovative designs.

Ms. Maureen Mauricio-Licyayo, Regional Manager for Visayas Marketing at Aventus Medical, briefed CREBA Cebu members on the services provided by its outpatient clinics, including two locations in Cebu City. Ms. Mauricio-Licyayo emphasized that Aventus Medical aims to deliver high-quality, effective, and efficient healthcare services. The company focuses on preventive care through primary healthcare screening, wellness programs, and chronic disease management, aiming to prevent health concerns from escalating into major medical issues.

She also outlined the services offered by Aventus Medical's Multi-Specialty Clinics, Mobile Clinics, Managed Clinics, Home Health Care, and TelAventusMD. These services include consultations, imaging, diagnostics, and comprehensive healthcare packages. The Mobile Health Clinic, a specially outfitted truck with examination rooms, laboratory services, and advanced medical tests, provides convenient medical services to companies in remote areas and for employees who cannot easily access traditional medical facilities.

"The Sampaguita Project not only sets us apart but also honors our cultural roots while supporting local communities through the cultivation of these flowers," Navarro shared.

Recent updates to the hotel include regular maintenance and enhancements to ensure that all rooms and public areas remain at the highest standard of comfort. Additionally, the hotel has introduced new packages such as the "Sampaguita Experience" and "When It Rains," offering guests unique amenities and discounts designed to enrich their stay.

Savoy Hotel Manila’s unwavering commitment to excellence has earned us prestigious accolades, including the "Value Star" at TripZilla's Travel Excellence Awards 2024 and the title of the Philippines’ Leading Airport Hotel by the World Travel Awards for three consecutive years (2021-2023). These honors highlight our dedication to delivering exceptional value, comprehensive facilities, and top-tier amenities.

The hotel’s strategic partnerships also play a key role in enhancing guest experiences. Renewed collaborations with PAL Mabuhay Miles and HSBC offer exclusive discounts on accommodations, meals, and spa services, further cementing Savoy Hotel Manila as the preferred choice for travelers seeking both convenience and comfort near the airport.

"Our strategic location, vibrant Newport City surroundings, and exceptional value make us stand out among airport hotels. We’re committed to providing an experience that resonates with travelers, combining the best of Filipino hospitality with modern comforts," Navarro concluded.

CEBU City – Filipino FIDE Master Mario Mangubat is set to compete in the FIDE World Senior Chess Championships in Porto Santo Island, Portugal from Nov. 19 to 26.
"I will just try my very best and we'll see where my best will take me," the 65-year-old Mangubat said on Monday.

Mober EV delivery is now in Cebu

CEBU City — Dennis Ng, the Founder and CEO of Mober, the pioneer of green logistics services in the Philippines, has officially launched a sustainable delivery service in Cebu to support the regional expansion of Swedish home furnishing retail giant IKEA Philippines.

As IKEA Philippines' green logistics partner, Mober will use its 100% EV fleet to support home deliveries in Cebu and other in the Visayas, underscoring zero-emission deliveries. This not only supports IKEA's growing demand for high-quality and affordable home products in the regional areas but also displayed Mober's commitment to eco-friendly logistics solutions.

In addition to the sustainable delivery services, Mober will assist the furniture brand's warehousing solutions via a collection hub located in Cebu City that will speed up delivery times and increasing product accessibility for Filipino households in Visayas.

The collection hub serves as the last-mile delivery point for IKEA Philippines’ sustainable products and houses Mober’s EV charging stations.

The Cebu City facility includes Mober's latest 15kw OCPP chargers, compatible with type 2 and GB/T standards, ensuring efficient support for Mober's EV fleet serving IKEA.

"We are thrilled to embark on this groundbreaking journey, expanding our green delivery solutions to the Visayas. This represents a leap forward for the Philippines in embracing sustainable practices across the logistics industry. As EV ownership gains momentum, Mober is well-positioned to further its commitment to providing sustainable business solutions towards a net-zero carbon emission future by leveraging our all-electric fleet. Together, let us roll up our sleeves and reduce our carbon footprint one delivery at a time," said Mober Founder and CEO Dennis Ng during the launching event held at the Summit Galleria Hotel.

As the leader in green logistics in the Philippines, Mober supports the end-to-end supply chain sustainability of major FMCG and retail brands. Besides IKEA Philippines, Mober has partnered with SM Appliance Center, Unilever Philippines, Nestle Philippines, and Nespresso, as well as renowned logistics companies Maersk and Kuehne+Nagel.

Mober offers a unique partnership model that provides an unprecedented advantage to businesses, allowing them to transition to green delivery operations with zero capital expenditures (CapEx) or upfront costs, effectively democratizing access to green logistics. This hassle-free collaboration is pivotal in encouraging more companies to embrace sustainable logistics, reinforcing Mober's role as game-changer in the sector.

"Our vision extends beyond just providing a service, but it's about pioneering a movement towards sustainability that we hope will inspire other businesses and communities across the country. As we look to the future, Mober is committed to being at the forefront of this green revolution. This is just the beginning of a more sustainable Philippines, and we are proud to lead the charge," shared Ng.

In September 2023, Mober unveiled its 800-square-meter flagship electric vehicle (EV) charging hub in Pasay City, which was aimed at bolstering the efficiency of its exclusive EV fleet strategically designed to provide relentless service for IKEA Philippines.

Aligning with the mandates of the Electric Vehicles and Charging Systems (EVIDA) Act, Mober's strategic partnerships with key FMCG and retail players underscore the Philippines' commitment to eco-driven policies. With Mober's pioneering approach, businesses have a definitive roadmap to swiftly decarbonize their last and mid-mile delivery systems, heralding a new era in business sustainability.

With a current fleet of 60 vehicles – made up of 39 e-trucks, 17 e-vans, and 4 three-wheelers, Mober is targeting expanding its green delivery services across Southeast Asia, aiming for a fleet of 500 EVs within the next two years.

Looking ahead, Mober plans to establish a network of charging stations from Pasay City to Tacloban, positioned every 150-200 kilometers, to support its growing fleet and underscore its leadership in green logistics.

As the EV market in the Philippines continues to grow, supported by favorable government policies and increasing consumer awareness, Mober's initiatives are well-positioned to contribute to the country's green transition. With an expanding fleet and innovative solutions, Mober is poised to lead green logistics in Southeast Asia, starting in the Philippines, paving the way for a sustainable future in the logistics industry.
