Converge ICT Solutions Inc. has joined forces with the Philippine Collegiate Championship (PCC), organized by the Central Collegiate for Esports (CCE), to elevate gaming lifestyles through education for the next generation of gamers.
This partnership is reshaping the landscape of collegiate gaming, sparking enthusiasm among esports enthusiasts, particularly in the realm of collegiate esports.
Converge and CCE have been working closely with the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) and have initiated school roadshows and accredited masterclasses across 12 schools nationwide, providing students with an enriching experience to deepen their knowledge of the gaming industry.
PCC aims to break the negative stereotypes surrounding video games by offering collegiate gamers a platform to showcase their abilities, potentially pursue a professional career, and maintain a balanced approach to their academic studies.
“Throughout the country’s history, there has been a widespread belief that indulging in video games is associated with a lack of future prospects. PCC takes pride in breaking this stigma,” said CCE Chief Executive Officer Stanley Lao.

Converge is actively expanding its presence in the educational segment, aligning perfectly with CCE’s mission to support and guide young players towards a promising future in esports.
