Connecting Globally, Serving the Filipino Way: Eastern Communications at BATIC 2026

Eastern Communications brought its warmth and dedication to world-class Filipino service to the global stage as it participated in the Bali Annual Telkom International Conference (BATIC) from August 25 to 28, 2026, at the Bali International Convention Center (BICC) at The Westin Resort, Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia. The pioneering Philippine telecommunications company joined alongside global telecom leaders, digital innovators, and enterprises as they came together to explore the future of digital connectivity and the technologies shaping an increasingly connected world.

For Eastern, connectivity has always been about more than technology. It is about honing a Filipino spirit of service that creates meaningful relationships for organizations around the world.

At the heart of its nearly 150-year legacy is a distinctly Filipino approach to service, one that is built on genuine hospitality, malasakit (care), and an unwavering commitment to go the extra mile for every customer and partner.

Taking the Filipino Heart of Service Beyond Borders

Eastern’s participation in BATIC 2026 marked an opportunity to represent not only the company's connectivity expertise, but also the values that continue to define its approach to business.

As the Philippines strengthens its role in the global digital economy, Eastern brings a distinctly Filipino way of connecting to the world. Beyond reliable technology and digital infrastructure, Eastern believes that meaningful connectivity begins with understanding the people it serves. Its Heart of Service reflects a commitment to not simply connect businesses, but to build relationships that help them thrive. At BATIC 2026, Eastern proudly carries this Filipino spirit of service into the international spotlight.

“Technology may connect the world, but it is people who make those connections meaningful,” said Atty. Aileen Regio, Co-Coordinator of Eastern Communications. “At Eastern, we take pride in bringing together trusted connectivity expertise with the warmth and dedication that Filipinos are known for. We are [also] proud to represent the Philippines and showcase how the Filipino heart of service can create exceptional experiences for businesses and partners.”

This philosophy has long shaped Eastern Communications’ relationship with its customers. Beyond providing connectivity solutions, the company prioritizes understanding the unique needs of the organizations it serves, building lasting partnerships, and ensuring customers receive the same care and dedication synonymous with Filipino hospitality.

Where Technology Meets the Human Touch

At BATIC 2026, Eastern showcased its enterprise capabilities and explored opportunities for collaboration with organizations and industry leaders from across the region.

The company’s participation also reflected its continued commitment to evolving alongside the changing needs of organizations. As enterprises navigate an increasingly digital landscape, Eastern continues to strengthen its portfolio of connectivity and digital solutions while remaining grounded in a simple belief: the best service begins with genuinely caring for the people behind every connection.

“At BATIC, we hope to bring together the best of both worlds. The strength of our technological expertise and the warmth of human-centered service. Just like our “High Tech, High Touch” philosophy, we believe that this balance is what makes connectivity truly meaningful, and it is also the distinctly Filipino perspective we are proud to bring to the global conversation,” said Mr. Jaeson Evangelista, Co-Coordinator of Eastern Communications.

Connecting Filipinos, businesses, and communities, Eastern steps onto an international platform alongside industry-leading players and innovators, carrying the same values that have guided its journey through generations. Because while technology may continue to evolve, the Filipino way of caring, serving, and connecting remains timeless.
