DAVAO City is truly a league of its own. As the Crown Jewel of Mindanao, the city offers a unique culture, rich harvests, and a majestic beauty where nature and progress meet.
But beyond its amazing views, the real heartbeat of Davao is its people. The city is full of young creators, passionate gamers, and digital storytellers who are ready to show the world what they can do. And for years, these bright minds have been waiting for the right moment to step onto a bigger stage. They already have the skills and the big dreams, and all they needed was the right opportunity to help them shine.
Seeing the huge potential of the youth in the region, Converge brought the Season 2 of its Student League Ambassador Program straight to the heart of Mindanao. Held at The Velvet Suites and Hotel last August 14, the launch was a celebration of the Davao youth’s vibrant spirit and a promise that true opportunity now reached their shores.
Bridging islands and dreams
Instead of keeping all the fun inside the ballroom, Converge brought the celebration to the streets, setting up two mobile stages in Visayas and Mindanao at the exact same time.
In Davao, the massive LimitlessXPRESS truck became an instant hangout spot with host Manjean Faldas’ live audio session as the crowd of students buzzed with excitement. Inside the venue was a digital playground with program segments such as intense game competitions where students cheered for their friends, a dedicated XPlay zone where players gathered to test their skills and unlock rewards.
Meanwhile in Cebu, another truck was parked at the University of Cebu Banilad, where gaming personality Cherizawa led a live broadcast. Powered by the fast fiber connection of Converge, Cherizawa gave a live and smooth shoutout to the Davao crowd, perfectly connecting the two islands in real time.
Driven to inspire and connect
Running on pure fiber power, the LimitlessXPRESS truck is designed to visit different schools and bring opportunities right to the students. Inside the truck is a special gaming zone for fun 1v1 gaming battles and a professional broadcast setup ready for live audio sessions and podcasting.
“Having our trucks in Cebu and Davao at the same time shows what our network can really do. It proves that Converge is going the extra mile to meet and support the youth exactly where they are,” shared JP Aguilar, SVP & consumer business group head of Converge.
Finding your ‘X’ in Davao
Back inside the venue, the energy was just as high. Lucky students won premium gadgets and gift vouchers, while a hopeful youth in the crowd got to bring home the grand prize: a brand new PlayStation 5.
But the most exciting part of the day was seeing the brand’s leaders join the fun. Converge executives gladly picked up gaming consoles and stepped into the arena to play games side by side with the students.
“As you can see, we are trying to break down the barriers for our community,” said Orange Ramirez, VP and brand & marketing head of Converge. “Here in Davao, we are not just launching our campaign. We are bringing a mobile arena directly to the students with our LimitlessXPRESS truck, so they don’t have to go far to find support and opportunities”.
With Converge leading the way, the bright and talented youth of Davao finally have the fast connection and the big stage they deserve. Now, it is finally time for the youth of the South to find their “X” and conquer the world.
