As a hands-on mom of two, Jully Anne San Andres has always dreamed of giving her children every chance to learn and grow. But with schoolwork and everyday life moving more and more online, keeping up without a proper internet connection was becoming a daily struggle.
For years, the family would spend on mobile data, burning through load just so her son could finish assignments. Oftentimes, a hundred pesos would be gone in just a couple of days, which always left them frustrated and stretched thin.
That’s why she didn’t think twice when she discovered Surf2Sawa by Converge on Facebook. It was what they’ve been waiting for to finally get her family connected at home.
“Very affordable ‘yung Surf2Sawa at unlimited pa ‘yung internet. Dati nu’ng wala pa kaming internet, naglo-load kami ng P100, good for seven days lang siya. Pero hindi siya umaabot talaga ng seven days,” she said.
Setting up the service was quick and easy, said Jully Anne. After she inquired, they were up and running in just two days. And from the moment Surf2Sawa was installed, life at home started to change.
Schoolwork became easier for her eldest. Her baby could watch nursery videos to stay entertained. Even simple family moments became more fun as they watched TV shows together, or sang karaoke in their living room.
But more than the fun, Surf2Sawa gave her family something even more meaningful as they can now seamlessly connect with her husband working away from home.
“Para sa amin, importante ‘yung internet kasi nagagamit din namin siya sa pag-video call sa asawa ko. Sa malayo s’ya nagtatrabaho kaya minsan kapag umuuwi siya, natatakot ‘yung anak ko kasi hindi s’ya kilala. Pero dahil po sa internet, through video call, kahit wala ‘yung asawa ko, nakikita s’ya ng baby ko, nakilala s’ya,” she shared.
Jully Anne also loves how reliable and affordable Surf2Sawa has been. She no longer worries about overspending on data and even shares the connection with her relatives and neighbors in their compound.
“Bukod sa amin, ‘yung iba kong pamangkin, kapag kailangan nila ng internet, nakaka-connect din sila sa amin kasi may slot pa naman. Hindi lang kami ‘yung nakakagamit kung hindi pati ‘yung iba. Nakakatulong kami sa kapitbahay namin,” she added.
For the homemaker, Surf2Sawa has become a life changer for it helps her care for her family, keep them close, and fill their home with happy moments.
Sa Surf2Sawa, wala kaming naging problema kahit nu’ng nagsimula kaming magpakabit. Okay s’ya. Smooth ‘yung internet connection,” she said.
