Connectivity for all: PLDT, Smart back DICT Roadshow in Tawi-Tawi
Tawi-Tawi, the Philippines’ southernmost province, was one of the key stops in the Department of Information and Communications Technology’s ICT Month 2025 Roadshow.
As the Philippine government intensifies efforts to bridge the digital divide, PLDT Inc. (PLDT) and its wireless arm Smart Communications, Inc (Smart) are firing up around 200 sites this year to serve remote areas. This forms part of the Private Sector Advisory Council’s Digital Infrastructure (PSAC DI) commitment to build new cell sites aimed at expanding connectivity in Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs) and empowering millions of Filipinos with improved digital access.
