LOOK: [Dipolog City] Largest integrated telco, PLDT, with its contractor Fiberhome Phils., recently started its cable-laying operations at the Dipolog Boulevard. This segment connects the company’s submarine fiber optic cable from Zamboanguita in Negros Oriental, to Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte, beefing up services for the province and the whole of Mindanao.

Dipolog Mayor Darel Dexter Uy said, “We thank PLDT for choosing Dipolog – which is a strategic area, for this submarine cable project. This development will boost our efforts to promote digital technology, generate jobs, support livelihood and recharge our economy. Dako kaayo nig katabang. Daghang salamat. (This is a huge help. Thank you.)”

“This project will definitely improve the quality of our service and translate to an even better customer experience, with the availability of 5G. We look forward to serving more communities as we continue to expand our network, here in Mindanao,” shared Roberto Suzon, PLDT Northern Mindanao Head for Corporate Relationship Business.

This initiative is part of PLDT's nationwide network expansion efforts. As of end-December 2021, PLDT’s fiber footprint has expanded to 743,700 kilometers. This fiber infrastructure also supports Smart's mobile network, which covers 96% of the population from Batanes to Tawi-Tawi.
