Globe has installed a total 20 new sites across four provinces in Central
Luzon, aiming to boost the region’s digital infrastructure and support its
predominantly agricultural economy and growing tourism sector.
In Bulacan, Globe built six new towers: two in Marilao and one each in
Angat, Doña Remedios Trinidad, Hagonoy and the city of San Jose Del Monte.
A total of 22 other sites were also expanded across the province.
Six new towers were also recently built in Nueva Ecija, with one new site
each in Aliaga, Gapan City, General Tinio, San Isidro, Santa Rosa, and
Talavera. Globe also expanded 11 existing sites to ensure that both urban
centers and rural communities gain access to faster, more reliable digital
services.
In Pampanga, Globe built an additional five cell towers to provide better
network coverage in Apalit, Floridablanca, Mexico, San Luis, and Sasmuan.
In addition, 15 existing sites were upgraded to expand network capacity and
coverage.
Tarlac, meanwhile, got three new sites in Bamban, Concepcion and Tarlac
City, with other sites also upgraded, further enhancing the province’s
overall network coverage.
“Globe’s network expansion across Central Luzon underscores our commitment
to providing world-class connectivity to every Filipino. With these new
towers and expansion sites, we are not only enhancing connectivity but also
empowering communities to thrive in the digital age,” said Joel Agustin,
Globe Head of Service Planning and Engineering.
Better connectivity in the four provinces are seen to benefit various
industries, including agriculture, food processing, aquaculture, handicraft
and tourism, among others. Improved digital access can lead to greater
adoption of innovative techniques, digitalization of business processes,
and access to a wider market.
Globe’s continuing network expansion is part of its mission to bridge the
digital divide in the Philippines. By continuously upgrading its
infrastructure and expanding its network reach, Globe aims to provide all
Filipinos with access to the benefits of digitalization, fostering
inclusive growth across the nation.
