Converge ICT Solutions Inc. (Converge) has partnered with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to offer free fiber internet access at 97 BIR revenue district offices (RDOs) nationwide.
This initiative aims to help taxpayers conveniently meet the filing of their tax obligations in the current filing season.
“We at Converge are happy to partner with the BIR and provide connectivity services to our taxpayers during this busy time of the year for them,” Dennis Anthony Uy, Converge co-founder and chief executive, said.
“This is part of our commitment to serve the digital needs of our countrymen wherever they may be,” he added.
According to Converge EVP and chief commercial officer Benjamin Azada, taxpayers enjoy unlimited access to free fiber internet for their BIR transactions and various needs in several revenue district offices across the country until 30 April this year.
“As a fiber broadband company, Converge recognizes its role in nation-building by enhancing the delivery of public services. We are always ready to support the government in facilitating their processes, such as the filing of income taxes which is one of the most important mechanisms of our economy,” Azada said.
“We hope our taxpayers will get to have a seamless and hassle-free experience in our RDOs by staying connected through our provided free fiber internet,” he added.
Under the initiative of BIR Information Systems Group deputy commissioner Ma. Rosario Charo G. Enriquez-Curiba, the major telecommunications companies like Converge were encouraged to extend network connectivity via free wifi to the public, especially the taxpayers.
“Through this partnership with Converge, we aim to make the experience for our taxpayers as stress-free and efficient as possible, using the free internet connection available to them within our offices,” she said.
