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.
