Globe Telecom said it strengthened its network presence in Bogo City, Cebu, with the activation of two new cell sites in Barangays Binabag and Marangog.
These installations promise significant benefits for residents, businesses and tourists alike, enhancing digital experiences and supporting local economic activities.
The first cell site was strategically placed in Barangay Binabag along the Cebu North Road, a vital artery connecting Cebu City to the Port of Hagnaya in San Remigio.
It is seen to provide better connectivity to the barangay’s 2,500 residents, many of whom are engaged in agribusiness, sugarcane production and fishery.
Globe said that with the new cell site, visitors and locals could now share their experiences in real time, enhancing the visibility of this natural treasure and potentially boosting local tourism.
Meanwhile, the second cell site, built in Barangay Marangog, addresses the critical need for improved data services for its 2,500 residents.
Better connectivity means more efficient agricultural practices, access to market information and opportunities for local businesses to thrive.
Residents will be better equipped to engage in digital learning, access healthcare services and connect with broader markets for their agricultural products.
Bogo City, renowned for its sugarcane production and fishery, is vulnerable to climate change-induced hazards such as typhoons, floods, landslides, and storm surges, underscoring the importance of robust and reliable communication networks.
Globe’s cell towers not only enhance everyday connectivity but also strengthen the city’s resilience during emergencies.
“By improving connectivity in Bogo City, we are empowering communities, boosting local economies, and enhancing the overall quality of life for residents,” said Globe senior vice president and head of network planning and engineering Joel Agustin.
