Globe customers in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao are now experiencing the benefits of the company’s massive network builds not only in urban areas but also in far flung places.
Just recently, Globe was able to install a new cell tower in Barangay Ladia that instantly improved its connectivity and widened its coverage in the municipality.
Tarhata Mastura, a resident of the barangay, said the signal was very bad in their barangay and even in the whole town as well.
“Doon kami nagpupunta sa silong ng mga puno ng niyog. Doon kami naghahanap. Minsan wala. Kahit mataas ang araw tinitiis namin (We go under the coconut trees to look for signal. Sometimes we don’t have. Even if it’s hot, we bear it just to find a signal),” she recalled.
