Alfredo Panlilio, Smart president and CEO and PLDT chief revenue officer, said in a statement sent to Palawan News on Friday that the ramped-up nationwide tower rollout is part of PLDT-Smart’s sustained capital expenditures on their networks, investing P260 billion from 2015 to 2019.
In a letter addressed to the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), PLDT-Smart said areas currently inaccessible due to the pandemic include Metro Manila and the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Quezon, Rizal, Ilocos Norte, Cagayan, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Palawan, Iloilo, Capiz, Samar, Misamis Oriental, and Zamboanga del Norte.
