“Bulacan remains one of our priority targets for expansion and modernization. By upgrading our network to 4G LTE and slowly bringing in 5G, we are optimistic that more customers in the province will experience the benefits and advantages of these latest technologies now available to them,” said Joel Agustin, Globe SVP for Program Delivery, Network Technical Group.

Globe was also able to complete 154 site upgrades in Alfonso, Amadeo, Gen. E. Aguinaldo, Indang, Magallanes, Maragondon, Mendez, Tagaytay City, Silang and Ternate in Cavite province.
