17 January 2026
PBBM witnesses Globe and Starlink MOA signing to boost nationwide connectivity, especially in remote and underserved communities.
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. presided over the ceremonial signing of a Memorandum of Agreement between Globe and Starlink, signaling a major step forward in the Philippines’ push for next-generation connectivity. The agreement reflects a shared goal of improving internet access through the integration of advanced satellite and terrestrial technologies.
The partnership focuses on expanding reliable connectivity to geographically isolated and underserved areas, where traditional infrastructure remains limited. By combining Globe’s nationwide telecommunications network with Starlink’s low-Earth orbit satellite systems, the initiative is expected to enhance coverage, strengthen network resilience, and deliver faster, more stable internet services across the country.
This collaboration supports the government’s digital transformation agenda, which emphasizes inclusive digital access as a foundation for economic growth, innovation, and social progress. Improved connectivity is seen as essential in empowering communities, supporting businesses, and strengthening education and public services.
The MOA signing highlights the administration’s commitment to public-private partnerships that drive technological innovation. Through strategic collaborations with global technology providers and local industry leaders, the government aims to accelerate the Philippines’ transition toward a more connected and digitally enabled nation.
