GLOBE ENHANCES CONNECTIVITY IN METRO MANILA WITH NEW TOWER BUILDS AND CAPACITY UPGRADES

1 September 2025

Metro Manila stands among the densely populated areas in the country, growing as a dynamic digital hub with a population of over 13 million.

Globe is enabling the residents of Metro Manila by rolling out new cell towers to boost capacity, improve internet access and overall experience. These enhancements are concentrated in high-density areas such as schools, major thoroughfares, and residential communities, ensuring that the city’s busiest areas have the connectivity they need.

The impact of these upgrades is far-reaching. Entrepreneurs can reach more customers online and run their businesses more efficiently, employees can stay productive wherever they work, students enjoy uninterrupted access to online learning and research, and families remain connected while easily accessing essential services such as banking, healthcare, and government transactions. Reliable and fast internet also supports the growing demand for entertainment, from seamless streaming to social media.

Major Network Gains in Education and Community Hubs in Quezon City
Quezon City, considered Metro Manila’s most populous city with nearly 3M residents, has been a focal point for Globe’s recent network improvements. New towers have been built in key barangays such as San Agustin, Bagong Silangan, Doña Imelda, Pasong Putik, and Loyola Heights.

These areas host prominent educational institutions, and the upgrades enhance learning experiences for students while improving connectivity for residents, professionals, and small businesses.

Stronger Network Ahead for Makati and Taguig’s Top Growth Areas

Makati and Taguig, two of Metro Manila’s leading business and lifestyle hubs, are set to enjoy even stronger Globe coverage in 2025.

Newly built sites in Guadalupe Nuevo, Pio del Pilar, Napindan, Lower Bicutan, and Bonifacio Global City are boosting capacity, supporting the growing number of professionals, entrepreneurs, and students who rely on high-speed internet for work, collaboration, and communication. These upgrades will keep pace with the cities’ rapidly expanding digital ecosystems, from corporate offices and co-working spaces to residential developments and entertainment destinations.

Expanding Network Coverage Across Parañaque
Parañaque, already enjoying a reliable Globe network, is undergoing targeted enhancements to meet the city’s rising digital demands. Upgrades in Pacific Avenue and Barangay Don Bosco will sustain high performance and support the increasing number of connected devices used by residents and businesses.

This expansion benefits a diverse community that includes online entrepreneurs, remote workers, students attending virtual classes, and families enjoying digital entertainment, ensuring Parañaque remains a dependable hub for digital activity.

Metro-Wide Connectivity Upgrades
Globe’s network transformation covers all corners of Metro Manila. Cities such as Caloocan, Las Piñas, Marikina, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Manila, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Pasay, Pasig, San Juan, and Valenzuela are also seeing targeted upgrades in schools, major transportation hubs, commercial centers, and residential communities.

Every new cell site built and network upgrade reflects Globe’s commitment to deliver the most consistent network in the Philippines, a promise of seamless, reliable connectivity whenever and wherever it’s needed.

With the most consistent network in the country, Globe ensures Filipinos can work, learn, share, and thrive in today’s digital world.

“Metro Manila is always on the move, and connectivity has to keep up. Globe is building new sites and boosting capacity where people learn, work, and live to make sure our network can meet real, everyday demands not just today, but in the years to come,” said Joel Agustin, SVP for Network Planning and Engineering.

To ensure customers can fully maximize the upgraded network, Globe offers value-packed data promos such as Globe Prepaid Go+99 with free 5G data, TM EZ50 5G, and Globe At Home WiFi services in selected areas.

By investing in stronger, more resilient infrastructure, Globe is not only keeping pace with the demands of the digital era but is also actively shaping it. These network expansions reaffirm the company’s commitment to empowering Metro Manila’s communities, opening doors to new opportunities, and driving progress in the digital age.
