NEW GLOBE TOWERS POWER LOCAL COMMERCE, ECONOMIC GROWTH IN CEBU

16 September 2024

Globe has activated new towers in key areas of Cebu Province, providing robust internet services to help drive commerce and foster economic growth.  The additional infrastructures are located in Danao City, Cordova Municipality, Naga City, Toledo City, and Cebu City.

Danao City: A Hub of Tourism and Industry

Danao, renowned for its breathtaking views from Mount Lantawan, is set for a boost in local businesses and tourism with Globe’s new towers in Barangays Maslog and Taboc.

Enhanced connectivity will enable tourists and locals to instantly share their trek to Mount Lantawan, attracting more visitors and supporting the local economy.

The tower in Brgy. Maslog is situated near a mall and popular food establishments, supporting digital transactions in this commercial area.

Brgy. Maslog has a population of nearly 12,000 while Brgy. Taboc is home to about 7,000 residents.

Cordova: Gateway to Economic Opportunities

Cordova, a first-class municipality with a population of over 70,000, is seeing rapid growth due to its proximity to the Mactan-Cebu International Airport and major urban centers such as Cebu, Mandaue, and Lapu-Lapu cities.

The new tower in Brgy. Dapitan is strategically positioned to capitalize on the economic surge brought by the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX), expected to boost real estate values and create numerous trade opportunities. It is also seen to boost the tourism industry in this coastal town known for its beaches, resorts, and marine sanctuaries.

Naga City: Bridging Growth and Connectivity

While Naga City enjoys prosperous industrial development, its small, remote mining community of Brgy. Pangdan, home to over 6,000 residents, faces connectivity challenges due to the area’s mountainous terrain.

Globe’s new facility addresses this issue, delivering much-needed internet services that could support the growth of local industries, fostering economic stability and development in Brgy. Pangdan.

Toledo City: Enhancing Industrial and Community Connectivity

The tower in Brgy. Don Andres Soriano, which has around 19,000 residents, will enhance internet services for key establishments including a powerplant and mine.

Improved connectivity will also support farming and fishing communities, providing access to markets while also addressing the area’s history of being earthquake-prone with better disaster response capabilities.

Cebu City: Empowering Aspiring Entrepreneurs

In Barangay Basak Pardo, the infrastructure near Natalio Bacalso Avenue will benefit a population of 18,000. This area, with various establishments including the University of San Jose-Recoletos and Ace Medical Center, will see better connectivity supporting local entrepreneurs in carpentry, plumbing, hair salons, and welding.

“The new towers in Cebu Province are a testament to our dedication to empowering communities, driving economic growth, and supporting local businesses. We believe that strong connectivity is the backbone of progress, and we are proud to play a role in the development of these vibrant communities,” said Joel Agustin, Globe SVP and Head of Network Planning and Engineering.

Globe continues to strengthen its presence in Cebu Province and the rest of the country, ensuring that every business and citizen stays connected in today’s digital world.
