History

PUPHAM-RCG INC has been founded by four active Polytechnic University of the Philippines students in 1997

The founders are

  • Jimjay Ocampo
  • Dennis Flores
  • Dave Hernandez
  • Rico Soriano

Their first motive was to create a communications group that in the event of disaster and emergency, it would provide assistance.

That time communication played a vital role in providing timely response. However, communication facilities failed during those critical times due to loss of power, destruction of facility or complexity of returning the facility to operational status. Since then PUPHAM-RCG have developed the expertise of pooling manpower in limited amount of time and setting up communication equipment both for land based fixed and mobile station.
