THE local government of Tuguegarao City has tapped Globe Telecom Inc. to provide its citizens with free Internet access in public places.
Globe Business Senior Vice President Peter Maquera said his group’s solutions will help the local government unit to improve its delivery of government services and exchange of information
He added that the partnership with the City of Tuguegarao “is also in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 9, which emphasizes the need for investment in infrastructure and innovation, being identified as crucial drivers of economic growth and development.”
For his part, Tuguegarao Mayor Jefferson Soriano said this will help his office deliver better services to the citizens of the northern city.
“Aside from the need to have fast and reliable Internet connectivity to effectively cater to the communication needs of all offices in the city hall, the project also aims to extend its reach to public schools, specifically the students and teachers,” he said.
