PhilTower is honored to receive a Certificate of Recognition from the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center - CICC for our partnership and continuing support toward a safer and more secure digital environment in the Philippines.

As the country accelerates its digitalization, connectivity and cybersecurity increasingly move on the same road. While PhilTower helps strengthen the infrastructure that keeps communities, businesses and institutions connected, CICC works to help protect the digital ecosystem those connections make possible. Our partnership reflects a shared responsibility: expanding access while helping build a more informed, resilient and secure digital nation.

PhilTower MIDC and Synergeia Foundation, Inc. launched Connecting Futures, a partnership that brings free internet connectivity and digital education to selected public schools across 12 LGUs nationwide. There is one shared belief at its core. A signal reaching a school should lead to something more meaningful: better learning, stronger teaching and wider opportunity.

The launch was more than the start of a program. It was a meeting of partners who believe that connectivity and education must move together. Through Synergeia’s Digi-Education program, teachers and students are being equipped to turn access into learning, while LGUs, schools and parents help sustain that connection where it matters most: in the everyday life at the classroom.

Our heartfelt thanks to the Valenzuela City Government and Mayor WES Gatchalian, not only for welcoming Connecting Futures as our launch partner, but for standing with us as a fellow advocate for education. Valenzuela, a city that understands that investing in young people means investing in the future, gave this milestone a fitting home.

From Balamban, Cebu; Pililla, Rizal; Igbaras, Iloilo; Pototan, Iloilo; Pasig City; Iligan City, Lanao del Norte; San Fernando City, La Union; Marawi City, Lanao del Sur; Balanga, Bataan; Navotas City; Maasin, Iloilo; and Valenzuela City, Connecting Futures now carries that partnership forward.

The launch was one day. The work, and the possibilities it opens for learners, are only beginning.

Let’s watch how it unfolds.

PhilTower MIDC and Synergeia Foundation, Inc. launched Connecting Futures in Valenzuela City on September 11, bringing free internet connectivity and digital education to selected public schools across 12 LGUs.

The initial beneficiaries are Balamban, Cebu; Pililla, Rizal; Igbaras, Iloilo; Pototan, Iloilo; Pasig City; Iligan City, Lanao del Norte; San Fernando City, La Union; Marawi City, Lanao del Sur; Balanga, Bataan; Navotas City; Maasin, Iloilo; and Valenzuela City.

Backed by an AUD 100,000, or about PhP 6.23 million, grant secured after PhilTower MIDC won the Macquarie Shared Value Awards, the program pairs school connectivity with Digi-Education training for teachers and students, supported by LGUs, schools and parents.

The aim is not simply to put schools online, but to make connectivity useful in the classroom for learning, research and communication.

PhilTower Joins GSMA as Southeast Asia’s First Independent TowerCo Member

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, September 10, 2026 - PhilTower, the leading Philippine provider of shared digital and power infrastructure, has joined the GSMA as the first independent TowerCo member from the Philippines and Southeast Asia. The move gives PhilTower a seat in the global industry conversation, where it can bring the realities of Philippine deployment to the table and refine how capital becomes reliable infrastructure at home.

Philippine digital infrastructure provider PhilTower has joined the GSMA as the first independent TowerCo member from the Philippines and Southeast Asia, opening a new avenue for bringing global industry practices to efforts to expand reliable connectivity across the country.

The move comes as the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. steps up efforts to build a stronger digital infrastructure backbone, including through the National Digital Connectivity Plan, which seeks to accelerate the rollout of fast, secure and affordable broadband infrastructure and lower internet costs for millions of Filipinos nationwide.

GSMA is a global organisation unifying 700 mobile operators and more than 500 additional companies across the ecosystem to advance innovation and reduce inequalities around the world. PhilTower received its membership certificate during the GSMA Tower Forum “Better Together” Roundtable in Kuala Lumpur, ahead of GSMA M360 ASEAN 2026 on September 9-10 attended by PhilTower executives.

PhilTower joins under Industry Membership, for companies that support the mobile ecosystem beyond network operators. It can participate in GSMA working groups and standards activities alongside more than 1,200 member organizations worldwide.

“Operators make expansion decisions site by site,” said Devid Gubiani, President and Chief Executive Officer of PhilTower. “Our aim is to make every site work for them on capacity, cost and sustainability. We want to bring what we have learned in the Philippines to GSMA and bring home ideas that improve how we build, share and manage such critical infrastructure.”

PhilTower operates more than 4,500 towers from Luzon to Mindanao, serving the Philippines’ three mobile network operators: Globe, Smart and DITO.

Powered by PhilTower’s AI-assisted analysis, remote monitoring and digital tower models guide daily operations. Site data helps teams spot faults, deploy field crews, prioritize repairs and plan capacity ahead of demand.

That scalability faces its hardest test in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDAs), where land, power, permits, access and community confidence determine whether capital becomes a productive asset or a stalled plan. GSMA membership gives PhilTower a forum to compare approaches to energy, resilience, policy and deployment, then apply them in Philippine projects. Where ancestral domains are involved, as in Sagada, PhilTowers works with Indigenous communities, the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) and local authorities. The Outcome is both commercial and social: more viable network expansion and more dependable connectivity for hard-to-reach communities.

“A tower project depends on land, power, permits and community confidence,” said Kalvin Parpan, Chief Government Communications Officer of PhilTower. “Bringing those requirements together is part of our commitment. Learning from other markets matters when it helps us turn local plans into working sites and more dependable connections.”

Devid Gubiani also serves as President of the Independent Tower Companies’ Association of the Philippines (ITCAP), established in 2026 as a common voice for independent TowerCos. The association focuses on investment, infrastructure sharing, deployment barriers, power and site resilience, and engagement with national agencies, local governments and communities. Through that role, Devid Gubiani can bring Philippine operating realities into GSMA discussions and carry useful international practice back to the local industry.

For the Philippines’ nascent TowerCo industry, that flow of insight matters. It can turn global lessons on site economics, energy and shared infrastructure into better local investment decisions and, over time, more sustainable connectivity.

“Extending coverage requires infrastructure that operators can afford to use and communities can depend on,” said Vivek Badrinath, Director General of the GSMA. “We welcome PhilTower and the experience it brings from the Philippines as members share approaches to network deployment, energy management and digital twin technologies."

PhilTower will put that exchange to work across its Philippine portfolio. The measure is simple: infrastructure that performs, coverage that reaches farther and connections that hold when people need them.
