GLOBE Telecom Inc. said Sunday that it was advancing digital inclusion in Aklan and Antique to help strengthen connectivity and resiliency.
The telco said that as part of its 2026 roadmap, it will be rolling out network enhancements designed to improve mobile coverage, increase data capacity and deliver a better digital experience for residents, enterprises, schools, health care facilities, and government offices throughout the two Panay provinces.
In Aklan, Globe currently operates more than 100 sites that provide coverage across all 17 municipalities, reaching 72 percent of the province’s population. In Antique, Globe said it was operating more than 80 sites that provide coverage across all 18 municipalities, reaching 74 percent of residents.
Globe said it was also expanding its Fiber-to-the-Home services to bring faster and more dependable Internet access to more households.
The telco also highlighted its collaboration with Starlink to strengthen network resiliency and provide additional connectivity support in areas where traditional infrastructure may be affected by outages or natural disasters.
In a recent multisectoral dialogue, Globe shared plans to expand its initiatives to enhance network infrastructure, expand broadband access and support long-term development priorities across the two provinces.
Stakeholders present included the Aklan Information and Communications Technology Council, National Electrification Administration, Department of Energy, National Grid Corp. of the Philippines, Antique and Aklan electric cooperatives, local governments, and the Department of Information and Communications Technology.
“By strengthening our network, expanding broadband access, and investing in solutions that keep people connected during critical situations, we are helping build stronger communities and opening more opportunities for every Filipino,” Globe Chief Commercial Officer Darius Jose Delgado said.
