Fiber broadband provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. has strengthened its efforts to create a safer online environment, particularly for children, denying nearly 12 billion requests to dangerous or inappropriate websites in 2025 and blacklisting more than 72,000 associated domains.
The figures underscore the growing role of internet service providers in upholding public safety and supporting national child protection policies, aligning with government mandates to curb illicit online content and safeguard vulnerable users.
“We have always taken a hard line against dangerous and illicit content that harms the most vulnerable in our society, especially our children,” said Converge CEO Dennis Anthony Uy.
Converge invests in network defense tools to block harmful content and cyber threats. It coordinates closely with key government bodies—the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC), and Philippine National Police (PNP)—alongside international partners such as the Internet Watch Foundation to stop illegal online activities, including extreme violence.
Blocking measures follow established due process under the company’s Human Rights Policy. Converge also enforces a formal Child Online Safeguarding Policy, reflecting its commitment to shielding children from cyber threats, online exploitation, and violence.
Uy said the company will continue collaborating with the government and the industry to advance a safer internet for all Filipinos.
