School support reaches mountain communities in Nueva Vizcaya, an Aeta school in Zambales, and classrooms in Samar.
Converge ICT Solutions is supporting remote schools through device donations, satellite connectivity, and classroom repair assistance.
In Nueva Vizcaya, the company partnered with adventure motorcycle group RAMTAT Ph to deliver tablets, school supplies, and snacks to Ansipsip Elementary School and Domolpos Elementary School.
An 11-rider team traveled difficult roads and trails, taking about an hour and a half from Kayapa Municipal Hall to Ansipsip and another hour to Domolpos.
Barangay Ansipsip community chief Angel Caruncon said the distance means some learners stay in a school dormitory for extended periods, returning home only occasionally.
The deliveries address part of that learning environment by bringing resources directly to schools that are difficult to reach.
A Year of Connectivity in Zambales
At the ADB Spouses’ Association Aeta Integrated School in Zambales, Converge provided a Starlink Mini unit with 50GB of monthly data for one year, at no cost to the school.
The institution serves more than 300 elementary and secondary students.
School head Romualdo Montefalcon Cañeda said the connection would help teachers access instructional materials and expand learning opportunities.
Converge worked with managed service provider Probus Ventures Inc. on the initiative.
Classroom Repairs in Samar
The company also extended financial assistance to San Isidro National High School in Samar to repair ceilings that had deteriorated following years of typhoon exposure.
Together, the projects address different barriers: access to devices, internet connectivity, and usable classroom facilities.
The satellite support has a defined allocation and duration. Its value lies in giving the Zambales school another route to online resources while recognizing that reliable access involves both equipment and continuing service.
