GLOBE Telecom Inc. has built 20 new cell site towers across four provinces in Central Luzon, aiming to boost the region’s digital infrastructure and support its predominantly agricultural economy and growing tourism sector.
“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.
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 recently built in Nueva Ecija, with one new site each in Aliaga, Gapan City, General Tinio, San Isidro, Santa Rosa and Talavera.
Globe said it 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, the company said.

Globe said its 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.
