In line with its thrust of accelerating the digital transformation of the Philippines, Globe has established another milestone partnership through its GoWiFi services - this time, with the local government of Iloilo City.

The partnership was formalized through a Memorandum of Agreement signing last December 5 at Iloilo City Hall. The ceremony was led by Janis Racpan, Director of WiFi Business Group; Paulette Villaflor, Industry Head, Visayas at Globe Business; and Carlo Ortiz, Cluster Head, VisMin of Globe Business with Mayor Geronimo "Jerry" P. Trenas and MIS Head Francis Cruz of Iloilo City.

“This partnership with Iloilo City is a huge step for us at GoWiFi in reaching and connecting more customers in areas outside Luzon,” shared Janis Racpan, Globe Director for WiFI Business Group. “By providing free, high quality connectivity to constituents, we aim to be of significant help in the city’s continuous growth as an economic center in the Western Visayas region.”
