With the goal of providing better mobile and broadband connectivity through fiberization across the country, the PDSCN parties’ $150-million project supports the goal of the current national administration to convert the Philippines into a more technologically driven nation through innovation, e-governance, and increased digital adoption among Filipinos.

The initiative is aligned with Eastern Communications’ campaign “Evolve Every Day,” which encourages Filipinos and local businesses to reach greater heights this year and pursue digitalization to face tomorrow’s challenges.

“Upon the completion of PDSCN, we aim to see more Filipino families and businesses better connected this year. Once the fiber cables are operational, we can expect more resilient and reliable connectivity to serve the needs of the whole country,” said Eastern Communications PDSCN Consultant Albert Tuason.

By building a fiber-powered Philippines, PDSCN seeks to provide connectivity which is essential to the country’s economic recovery and growth. This year, it aims to reinforce strong and resilient connectivity during disasters, support the growth of various enterprises, assist residents with their day-to-day connectivity needs, and democratize robust and quality fiber internet for all Filipinos.
