Himamaylanons and Negrosanons in south Negros will soon enjoy wider and faster cellular network and data connectivity as Mayor Raymund Tongson green lit the P390 million worth project in partnership with Phil Tower Consortium, Inc. (PhilTower), a press release from Himamaylan PIO said.

Representing Himamaylan City, Mayor Tongson signed the memorandum of agreement with Kalvin Laurence Antonio Parpan, PhilTower Chief Governor and External Affairs Officer, on January 23.

Himamaylan City was granted this project following a recommendation from the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the Anti-Red Tape Authority.

“This recognition highlights the city’s strong performance and compliance with the programs and initiatives of these agencies,” said Tongson.

The connectivity project between Himamaylan and PhilTower together with Miescor Infrastructure Development Corporation (MIDC) will build cell site towers in strategic areas in the locality to address the problem of residents with limited cellular network signal and mobile data internet connection.

“This multi-million project will also serve as a go signal for investors. They will see that Himamaylan City is ready for continued development,” added the city mayor in his message.

Not only are the residents experiencing slow connectivity, said Tongson, but we are as well.

“In today’s digital age, where strong and reliable signals are a necessity for everyone, this project will have a significant impact on Himamaylan City,” he said.

He also thanked DICT and ARTA for the great project.

“It will support our ongoing efforts to drive progress and development for Maylan,” Tongson said.*
