Converge ICT Partners with FHMoms to Help Power Freelance-Working Women

Tweet

MANILA, Philippines, June 11, 2021 — Converge ICT, the country’s fastest-growing pure fiber internet service provider, has partnered with Filipina Home-based Moms (FHMOMS), one of the most influential online communities today. The partnership was officialized through an exclusive pure fiber connectivity program called Converge M.A.M.A. (Making All Moments Awesome). The program intends to ensure more meaningful connectivity experiences for WFH or freelance-working women.

“We have always been committed to upgrading the Filipino online experience, and that is rooted in our families. Mothers play a major role in that. Forging partnerships with such groups as FHMOMS can only amplify our efforts to help improve qualities of life through our pure fiber technology.” said Jesus Romero, Converge ICT Chief Operating Officer.

The Converge M.A.M.A is a program dedicated to strengthening the community of women who are committed to enriching how they take care of their families by continuously improving themselves through technology. They are forward thinkers who leverage on sharing fresh ideas, new concepts, and meaningful trends. Since the majority is at home, these women have maximized the use of the internet for tutorial videos, informative podcasts, Zoom meetings, video calls, and social media interactions. With the reliability of pure fiber connectivity, these power women can better exchange insights and pursue passions to enable them to do what they do best.

“As mothers who, like everyone else, are trying to pursue our dreams and improve our ways of life, FHMOMS is happy to partner with Converge. The pandemic has made it more challenging for freelancers or small-business owners like us. Having an internet connection that we can truly depend on is important now more than ever.” Said MK Bertulfo, founder of FHMOMS.

The said program is designed to provide easier access to reliable connectivity to the community members by offering easy payment options and customizable internet plans such as the Converge FiberX Time of Day. Members will also get to take advantage of exclusive content to help them learn about a wide range of topics like business, technology, social media strategies, housekeeping, inspirational/motivational stories, and more.

“We’ve been working hard to provide our market with products that can address the market’s true needs. For the modern women of FHMOMS, such innovations like our Converge FiberX Time of Day – which allows you to double your speeds without doubling the price – will bring great value to what they are trying to accomplish every day.” quipped Romero.

Such efforts have helped establish Converge ICT as one of the top-performing Filipino companies with a 54% market share of fixed broadband net subscriptions and 1.04 million residential subscribers in December 2020. The company-wide performance was the primary reason for them to be included in the inaugural Philippines’ Growth Champions 2021 prepared by the Philippine Daily Inquirer and international market research firm Statista.

“While we grow as a company, we will never lose sight of why we are doing what we do - to serve everyone, especially communities that celebrate the strength of the family. Your small wins are our big wins,” added Romero.

4 Creative Ways to Strengthen Your Loved Ones’ Immunity & Blood Health

Tweet

The past year has been tough for many — all the while adapting to the new routines to stay healthy and safe, relationships were altered in unimaginable ways. Being around your loved ones 24/7 can cause a strain in the relationship.1 The idea of being under one roof with them might seem enjoyable but not until the boredom sets in, followed by conflict. Meanwhile, those who are in an LDR situation have limited to no assurance of being able to visit each other. These situations can lead to stress which then affects your immune system and blood health.

But all hope is not lost. Whether you spend most of your time with your loved ones or are miles apart, here are four ideas on how to express TLC — because they deserve to feel cared for, especially for their well-being.

1. For those who appreciate words than actions

This gift is maybe for that friend who saves your most meaningful conversations or your parent whose face brightens up when you send them a thank you message. This is for those who think that words speak louder than actions. Writing a heartfelt letter to a loved one who’s fond of affirmation, is already enough for them. But you can always go beyond. Include friends, family, and loved ones to write a short letter for them and compile it as a notecard or as notes in a bottle. This way they are reminded that they are loved even at times that they feel the most need to.

2. When they would rather spend time with you

Not everyone is able to appreciate the usual V-day staple gifts. Sometimes, material things aren’t always ideal for those who just want to spend time with you — all they need is time with you. Your full presence and attention are greatly appreciated by people who enjoy spending quality time. Also, being with your loved one knows no distance. A video call for them matters so much more than you may imagine, especially when you’re miles apart. So, whether if it’s just a movie marathon night, a virtual game night, or a weekend spa day at home, they’ll definitely feel cared for and grateful for your time and attention.

3. Be there when they need your help

Helping your loved ones in need of extra help is also another way of making them feel loved through actions. This is for those who are always swamped with work, chores, and daily tasks that they would feel most taken care of when others are able to notice that they also need help. This can be expressed through doing their chores for them, serving them breakfast in bed in the morning, or running an errand that they may have mentioned before. Doing deeds is how they may show their affection and that’s how they best receive it too.

4. Gift them a healthy blood for strong immunity when they most need it

Attentiveness to your loved ones’ needs is one of the many ways to make them feel special and appreciated. Paying attention to their lifestyle, and health condition should be of top priority given the current situation. When you notice and feel that they’re having little to no sleep, looking paler, and easily gets tired — they might be experiencing Iron deficiency anemia. This occurs when the blood has a lower amount of red blood cells or hemoglobin than normal. Iron deficiency anemia can cause the body to feel weak, tired, dizzy, look pale, and experience headaches. 2

------------------

Offer your loved ones the help they need by cooking them nutritious meals, encouraging regular exercise, getting proper sleep, and taking Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) to help maintain their blood health.

Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) is an iron supplement with vitamins and minerals that helps to replenish iron stores and increases red blood cell levels in the body. It has ferrous gluconate, a type of iron salt which allows better absorption of iron in the body, Folic acid, and vitamin B12 which are vital for production of red blood cells and during pregnancy. It also contains Vitamin C which helps improve iron absorption, and Copper sulphate and manganese sulphate that helps in the metabolic processes of blood cell production. 3

Recommended intake is one to two capsules daily, during or after meals, or as prescribed by your doctor.

Love knows no bounds, just as much as stress knows no limits. Keep your loved one’s blood healthy through maintaining a healthy diet, encouraging physical activity, and taking with Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) that treats iron deficiency anemia that can lead to weakened immunity and increased susceptibility to infection.

When you feel like you’ve ran out of ideas on how to express your affection to someone, you can always try these four recommendations. In these times, grand or not, what matters most is your loved ones maintain strengthened immunity and a heathy blood with the help of Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+).

If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
