Globe Telecom Inc. said over the weekend it deployed 20 new cell sites across four provinces in Central Luzon to boost the region’s digital infrastructure and support its predominantly agricultural economy and growing tourism sector.
Globe built six new towers including two in Marilao and one each in Angat, Doña Remedios Trinidad, Hagonoy and the city of San Jose Del Monte in Bulacan. A total of 22 other sites were also expanded across the province.
Six new towers were also 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 sites to ensure that both urban centers and rural communities gain access to faster, more reliable digital services.
Globe built an additional five cell towers to provide better network coverage in Apalit, Floridablanca, Mexico, San Luis, and Sasmuan in Pampanga.
About 15 existing sites were upgraded to expand network capacity and coverage.
Tarlac 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,” said Joel Agustin, Globe head of service planning and engineering.
“With these new towers and expansion sites, we are not only enhancing connectivity but also empowering communities to thrive in the digital age,” Agustin said.
Globe’s continuing network expansion is part of its mission to bridge the digital divide in the Philippines.
Globe said it aims to provide all Filipinos with access to the benefits of digitalization, fostering inclusive growth across the nation by continuously upgrading its infrastructure and expanding its network reach.
