Globe continues to enhance its network infrastructure in Zamboanga City, unveiling four new towers and expanding 111 sites. This development supports the local agri-tech and tourism industries through reliable and fast connectivity.

With improved mobile and internet services, farmers can access agri-tech solutions to optimize their operations, while tourists can share their experiences in real time, boosting the city’s appeal as a travel destination.

Zamboanga del Sur, where Zamboanga City is located, boasts of highly fertile land, consistently yielding crops such as rice, corn, coconut, and rubber. The province is predominantly known for its agri-fishery industry, which employs the majority of its residents.

Tourism is another key industry in Zamboanga City, with attractions such as Pulacan Falls, Merloquet Falls, Puting Balas Sandbar, and Once Islas drawing visitors.

“Our investment in Zamboanga City reflects our commitment to empowering communities through technology. By enhancing connectivity, we aim to drive economic growth, support local industries, and improve quality of life for residents. We believe that digital transformation is key to unlocking the full potential of Zamboanga City and fostering a sustainable future,” said Joel Agustin, Globe SVP and Head of Service Planning and Engineering.

Globe’s network upgrades also contribute to disaster preparedness initiatives led by the Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (RDRRMC)-9. Enhanced telecom infrastructure ensures continuous communication during emergencies, crucial for crisis management and public safety.

The infusion of connectivity also strengthens economic resilience, encourages innovation, and facilitates access to government services.

Globe’s continued investment in Zamboanga City’s network infrastructure underscores its dedication to bridging the digital divide and supporting the region’s economic and social development. With these new sites and upgrades, Globe is poised to play a pivotal role in the city’s journey towards a digitally empowered future.
