MANILA (PIA) - PhilTower MIDC said it has cemented its position as a critical driver of the Philippines digital expansion, becoming the fastest independent tower company to complete 1,000 Built-to-Suit (BTS) towers nationwide. It added that the achievement, in line with the Marcos Jr. administrations thrust to expand and improve internet and physical connectivity in the Philippines, particularly in remote and underserved areas, reflects a rapid, disciplined rollout that has outpaced all other independent tower companies in the Philippine telecommunications market. The new infrastructure is delivering signal and stimulating progress from Metro Manila to geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDA) in the Cordilleras, it noted. Our mission has always been clear: to deliver the infrastructure that connects Filipinos wherever they are, said Devid H. Gubiani, President and CEO. The momentum weve built this year reflects disciplined delivery, sustained investment, and a shared belief that reliable digital access should reach every corner of the country, Gubiani added. PhilTower MIDCs execution sets a new industry standard. The company has streamlined its processes by aligning with national agencies, regulators, and local governments to expedite permits and secure ground access, even in logistically challenging locations. PhilTower MIDC said that in just four years, the company has built at a record rate across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. At the height of its deployment, PhilTower MIDC has managed more than 200 sites under simultaneous construction--a feat the company calls unmatched in the independent tower sector, it said. According to the company, each tower expands the network capacity available to mobile network operators (MNOs), bringing the nation closer to universal digital access and ensuring connectivity that benefits all Filipinos, from students and small business owners to farmers and fintech users. To date, PhilTower MIDC has invested over P20 billion in tower construction and digital infrastructure. This capital directly drives growth by utilizing local contractors, suppliers, engineers, and skilled workers, turning each tower project into an ecosystem that uplifts local economies and provides livelihood, it said. Connectivity impacts lives, Gubiani said. It creates opportunities that distance once denied. PhilTower MIDC said it continues to focus on smarter deployments and broader co-locations, adding that it is poised to surpass the 4,000 operational sites milestone nationwide in the coming days. This scale establishes the company as one of the critical pillars supporting mobile network operators, and propelling the Philippines toward an inclusive digital future, it said. PhilTower MIDC is a joint venture between Phil-Tower Consortium Inc. (PhilTower) and MIESCOR Infrastructure Development Corporation (MIDC), two leading independent telecommunications tower companies in the Philippines. PhilTower MIDC said this collaboration combines their tower portfolios to form one of the countrys largest tower infrastructure providers, aiming to support the demand for 4G and 5G mobile network expansion and strengthen the Philippines digital infrastructure.
