Original article: Businesses in North Luzon gain competitive edge through PLDT Enterprise
CLARK, Pampanga—As North Luzon emerges as a powerhouse for growth in sectors like construction, health, and professional services, PLDT Enterprise is stepping in to ensure businesses in the region stay ahead of transformation.
Through the Clark leg of its “Wireless Product Summit,” held at Royce Hotel, PLDT Enterprise showcased how mobile-first technologies can power regional enterprises to operate smarter, scale faster, and serve more communities.
With the theme “Mobilize Your Success,” the summit gathered over a hundred business leaders from across North Luzon to explore how innovations in wireless technology can unlock opportunities, drive productivity, and bridge connectivity gaps across the Cordillera, Ilocos, Cagayan Valley, and Central Luzon regions.
North Luzon: A region on the rise
The summit comes at a time when North Luzon is gaining momentum across key industries. According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), provinces in the region have posted growth rates in sectors such as construction, financial services, and public administration that lead national averages. As more enterprises expand beyond Metro Manila, the demand for agile, reliable, and cost-efficient connectivity becomes increasingly urgent, especially in emerging economic hubs across North and Central Luzon.
Over a hundred business leaders gathered at the Clark leg of PLDT Enterprise’s Wireless Product Summit where mobile-first innovations took center stage, empowering regional enterprises to work smarter, grow faster, and reach farther.
“We’re here in Clark for a reason as we see it as a symbol of how fast North Luzon is growing,” said Josh Montecillo, Assistant Vice President and Head of Enterprise and International Wireless Product Management at PLDT Enterprise. “With the region’s potential, we’re committed to empowering local businesses to seize it through the right mobile solutions.”
Wireless solutions that work where it matters
During the event, PLDT Enterprise zeroed in on how its wireless portfolio solves real business problems:
• 5G Fixed Wireless Access enables high-speed connectivity ideal for regional offices, clinics, or retail branches.
• Smart Internet of Things (IoT) helps businesses monitor assets, track logistics, and manage dispersed operations with precision
• Mobile Private Networks offer secure, enterprise-grade mobile connectivity for large campuses and critical infrastructure like hospitals and industrial zones.
Each solution was presented as a path to better service delivery, streamlined operations, and smarter decision-making.
A long-term commitment to regional growth
PLDT Enterprise also reinforced its long-term commitment to the region. Infrastructure investments, including mobile cellsite expansion and prioritization of 5G and 4G in Nueva Ecija, La Union, and the rest of Central and North Luzon, are underway to further improve wireless coverage and resilience. These are complemented by Smart’s mobile network, which already covers 97% of the Philippine population.
“This summit is part of a broader strategy to bring enterprise-grade wireless to where the real growth is happening,” Montecillo emphasized. “We’re not just showcasing solutions, we’re building partnerships that will fuel the future of business in North Luzon.”
