Globe has enhanced its digital infrastructure in Pangasinan, building four cell sites and upgrading 13 existing ones to support connectivity needs in the province, known for agricultural bounty and a burgeoning tourism industry.
The new sites, built in Bayambang, Binalonan, Mangatarem, and San Manuel, aim to deliver robust mobile and internet connectivity throughout these strategic locations.
Pangasinan, an agricultural powerhouse in Northern Luzon, boasts vast farmlands and a rich coastal environment, supporting both traditional and innovative agricultural practices. It is known for the best-tasting bangus, bocayo, and bagoong.
The new and expanded Globe sites are expected to benefit the local agricultural sector, enabling farmers to access up-to-date information on weather, market prices, and modern farming techniques. These improvements in digital connectivity will help farmers optimize their operations, leading to increased productivity and profitability.
Tourism in Pangasinan, a vital contributor to the local economy, will also receive a substantial boost. Enhanced connectivity will make it easier for tourists to plan their visits, navigate the region’s attractions, and share their experiences in real-time.
The province offers numerous natural and historical attractions such as the Hundred Islands National Park, Bolinao Falls, Cape Bolinao Lighthouse, and the Minor Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag, which draws many local and foreign visitors every year.
Globe’s expanded network in Pangasinan aligns with the local government’s efforts to digitize services and promote economic development.
“Our efforts in Pangasinan are designed to support the province’s key industries by providing the digital tools necessary for innovation, growth, and success,” said Joel Agustin, Globe SVP and Head of Service Planning and Engineering.
The company’s investments in the region provide a foundation for more robust economic activities, better public services, and improved access to education and healthcare.
