GLOBE Telecom Inc. has built a new tower and has upgraded cell sites in Mindanao to enhance mobile connectivity.
Globe said it built a new tower in Malaybalay City. It also upgraded 16 sites across Bukidnon, with three each in Libona, Manolo Fortich and Quezon; two each in Malaybalay City and Valencia City; and one each in Lantapan, San Fernando and Maramag.
“We are excited to bring better connectivity to Bukidnon, a province that plays an important role in the nation’s agricultural and tourism sectors,” Joel Agustin, Globe head of service planning and engineering, said in a statement.
These developments reinforce Bukidnon’s position as a major player in the agri-fishery and tourism sectors. With faster and more reliable internet, local businesses can leverage digital technologies to optimize operations and expand market reach as well as offer enhanced services to tourists, Globe said.
“By expanding our network infrastructure, we are empowering local communities and businesses to thrive in a digital world and supporting regional development and economic growth,” Agustin added.
Network improvements in Bukidnon also align with the local government’s efforts to boost digitalization and infrastructure development.
This is particularly necessary for the province’s young entrepreneurs and farmers, who are increasingly turning to digital tools to innovate and grow their businesses.
The site upgrades will also support Bukidnon’s tourism industry. The province, known for its picturesque landscapes and attractions such as the Dahilayan Adventure Park, Lake Apo and the Del Monte Pineapple Farm Plantation, will benefit from better digital connectivity that enhances visitor experience.
Tourists can enjoy seamless online experiences to share their travels in real time, access travel information and stay connected with loved ones, Globe said.
Globe’s ongoing investments in its network infrastructure are pivotal in driving socio-economic progress in Bukidnon. As connectivity improves, the province is poised to attract more investments, create jobs and enhance the quality of life for its residents, the company added.
