Phil-Tower Consortium Inc. announced Monday the full operations of 250 towers in the Visayas and Mindanao which it acquired from Globe Telecom Inc.
“This is yet another big milestone for us of full operational handover of towers from Globe. PhilTower believes in its organizational pillars such as people, process, technology readiness and a faster way of asset management to achieve takeover in a short span of time,” said Phil-Tower chief executive Devid Gubiani.
“We have ensured smooth transition through detailed planning, performing drone audits, setting up regional offices and resources and onboarding existing Globe O&M and security partners. We look forward to extending further operational savings to Globe from the establishment of the 24/7 operational capability and distributed field operations teams in the challenging territories of Visayas and Mindanao,” he said.
PhilTower and Globe in September last year signed a sale and leaseback deal for the acquisition of 1,350 Globe sites, with the first batch of 578 towers turned over in February 2023.
