Globe is elevating connectivity across Cebu’s renowned travel destinations, celebrated for their natural beauty, cultural heritage, and adventure tourism. This initiative enhances the experience for both locals and visitors while bolstering the province’s local industries.
The new cell towers are strategically installed in Brgy. Cantabaco in Toledo City, Brgy. Esperanza in Poro, Brgy. Maya in Daanbantayan, Brgy. Tabagak in Madridejos, and Brgy. Linao in Talisay City.
“Globe is committed to bridging the digital divide and delivering world-class connectivity in the country, ensuring communities have access to advanced digital infrastructure, providing opportunities for growth,” said Joel Agustin, Globe SVP and Head of Network Planning and Engineering.
“By improving internet access in Cebu’s key tourist areas, we’re not only enhancing the experience for visitors but also opening up new opportunities for local communities,” he added.
Brgy. Cantabaco, Toledo City
As the Philippines’ top climbing destination, Brgy. Cantabaco attracts adventurers worldwide. However, the mountainous terrain has posed challenges for communication. The new Globe infrastructure enables climbers to share their experiences and communicate in real-time, enhancing their adventure. It also provides crucial support for the nearly 10,000 residents, particularly students in their academic pursuits.
Brgy. Esperanza, Poro
Brgy. Esperanza, the gateway to the Camotes Islands, is rich in history and eco-tourism attractions like marine sanctuaries. The new Globe tower improves connectivity, driving more tourist traffic to the community and supporting local businesses and its over 3,400 residents. Key areas covered include the Esperanza Barangay Hall, Lucky Farm Aloguinsan Mj, Lola Hermenia’s Place, Maktang Beach, Buho Rock Resort, and Tangub Cave.
Brgy. Maya, Daanbantayan
Known for its white sandy beaches and world-class diving spots such as Malapascua Island, Daanbantayan benefits from the new tower in Brgy. Maya. Tourists can easily share their beach photos and diving adventures online. Local fishermen, farmers, and the barangay’s 10,000 residents also gain better access to information and services. The tower supports essential services like early warning systems and emergency response in the typhoon-prone area.
Brgy. Tabagak, Madridejos
The new tower in Brgy. Tabagak serves over 2,000 residents, supporting the local fishing industry and showcasing the area’s picturesque coastal landscapes and beautiful beaches.
Brgy. Linao, Talisay City
Despite its urbanization, Talisay City retains a rich historical heritage and agricultural roots. The tower in Brgy. Linao, with nearly 10,000 residents, enhances connectivity, supporting the barangay’s growing status as a tourist destination. It also serves the city’s expanding residential areas, trading centers, and various tourist attractions, including hotels, recreational centers, and food establishments.
As Cebu continues to establish itself as a premier tourist destination in the Philippines, Globe’s network expansion is crucial in meeting the growing demands of both residents and visitors. By bridging the connectivity gap, Globe enhances the tourist experience and contributes to the sustainable economic development of these communities.
