Kadayawan is a celebration of abundance—of culture, creativity, and community. This year, Converge ICT Solutions Inc. deepened that spirit by spotlighting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through Let’s Get Bizzy, held on August 14 at Asian Cow by Chef Patrick Co.

The intimate event gathered Davao’s dynamic SME community for an afternoon of insights and inspiration. At its core was Chef Patrick Co, who delivered a compelling talk titled “The Digital Advantage: Why SMEs Can’t Afford to Stay Offline.” With humor and honesty, he shared his journey building the Fat Cow Group into three award-winning restaurants: Fat Cow, Asian Cow, and Tat Cow.

Chef Patrick emphasized how digital connectivity empowers SMEs to expand their reach, engage customers instantly, and streamline operations—from supply chains to payments. “If you’re not online, you’re invisible. Digital presence isn’t optional—it’s survival,” he said, underscoring the urgency for businesses to embrace digital tools not just for growth, but for relevance.

Following his talk, Ms. Annaly Siodina, Regional Commercial Manager for Mindanao, introduced the MicroBIZ Max Plan—a fiber internet solution tailored for micro and small businesses. With speeds up to 400 Mbps for ₱2,499, and entry-level plans starting at ₱1,449, it offers budget-friendly connectivity designed to help entrepreneurs thrive.

As the event wrapped up, conversations flowed, ideas sparked, and participants left with renewed energy to grow their ventures. More than a learning session, Let’s Get Bizzy became a testament to what’s possible when local entrepreneurs are equipped with the right tools and support.

Through initiatives like this, Converge ICT continues to uplift the backbone of the economy—our SMEs. And as Davao celebrates its season of plenty, one truth stands out: abundance flourishes where connection thrives.
