Known as a fishing community, the municipality of Cardona in the Rizal province is gearing towards centralization of its Internet and voice connectivity for improved public service, official business, and delivery of education in the today’s wave of technology.
Gur Lavi Corp. (GLC), one of the fastest growing telecommunications distributors in the country, will provide the technology for this ground-breaking initiative in Cardona using one of its flagship brands — TeLavi Cloud — considered to be a pioneering all-in communication platform in the Philippines today.
Cardona Mayor Teodulo C. Campo said, “This initiative will positively impact not only our business and public service sector but also the educational sector especially that Internet is a necessity right now because of the online classes. Also, with this program, certain processes in local government will be alleviated.”
GLC President and CEO Erwin Co believes, “Having Telavi Cloud gives huge advantage for Municipality of Cardona. It will not just improve the communication inside their organization but also their collaboration. They can join an audio conference call with a single click, use individual and group messaging to communicate with colleagues quickly and easily, and it creates workspace for teams where they can chat in real time and share important information especially during calamities.”
Co also said that employees of Cardona LGU can stay connected with the Telavi Cloud App. Alternatively, they can deploy IP phones at home during this era of remote work. This allows residents of Cardona to reach the agencies and the offices of the municipality via a single number.
Mayor Campo assures that the Cardona LGU has always been in fact interested in having a centralized Internet and voice connectivity, so when they received a proposal, he immediately acted on this because he knows that this project will improve the lives of his constituents.
“To my constituents here in Cardona, I hope that this initiative shall ease your daily plight when it comes to Internet connectivity and swear that there will be more projects in the future that will be geared on improving the lives of everyone in here. So, let us continue our support for our municipal leaders from yours truly up to the vice mayor, councilors, barangay captains, and barangay social workers,” Mayor Campo said.
Hernandez emphasized that GLC in partnership with PLDT is always trying to serve LGUs from Barangay as the smallest administrative division to Municipality up to the Provincial Government and are now coordinating and having meetings with different municipalities of Rizal to the Provincial Government to enhance their infrastructure and communication tool.
