Smart Wi-Fi is now available at the Baler Municipal Plaza, Baler Central Terminal and Museo Baler, the latest additions to Smart Wi-Fi-powered establishments across the country. Smart has also signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Mount Carmel College of Baler and launched Smart Wi-Fi in their campus. 

“With Smart Wi-Fi now available in Baler, we are putting world-class connectivity within the reach of residents, tourists and students alike, uplifting their everyday lives and helping them be more productive while on-the-go,” said Juan Victor Hernandez, senior vice president and head of Enterprise for PLDT.

“By working with our government and school partners, we are able to better empower our customers in Baler with consistent and reliable high-speed connectivity,” said Alex O. Caeg, PLDT-Smart senior vice president and head for Consumer Business-Customer Development. 

“With Smart Wi-Fi in place, tourists traveling through the Baler Central Terminal and Museo Baler can stay connected, residents dropping by the Baler Municipal Hall can also access online services, and students at Mount Carmel can use the internet for their data-intensive academic work,” Caeg added.
