Globe Telecom Builds More than 10 New Sites in Iloilo Province

Globe Telecom built over 10 new sites across Iloilo province in 2024, further strengthening connectivity through enhanced digital infrastructure to boost its economic potential.

Iloilo's economy continues to thrive, with an impressive 10.5 percent growth rate in 2023, contributing 15.6 percent to the Western Visayas region's GDP of P215.42 billion, according to data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).

The services sector, which accounted for 56.5% of the province's economy, remains a crucial pillar, followed by agriculture and fishing (22.7%) and industry (28.8%).

Globe's increased presence in the province is consistent with Iloilo's economic drivers, notably in wholesale and retail commerce, transportation, and financial services. Globe intends to help these major areas by increasing its digital infrastructure, which will enable quicker data transfers, a better customer experience, and more efficient operations.

Globe's new site developments guarantee that both urban and rural areas benefit from improved broadband and mobile services, therefore bridging connection gaps and driving regional prosperity. They also allow local companies to expand their digital footprint, simplifying online transactions and assuring smooth communication for both locals and tourists.

“Our network expansion in Iloilo reflects our dedication to empowering communities. With improved access to digital services, local enterprises can unlock new growth opportunities, contributing to Iloilo’s continued economic progress,” said Patrick Gloria, Globe Vice President for External Affairs.
