PLDT wireless unit Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) has signed a
memorandum of agreement with the city government of Manila to provide fast and free Smart WiFi across the city, particularly government offices, hospitals, universities and other key areas.
PLDT chair and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan, Smart Chief Revenue Officer Alfredo S. Panlilio and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso signed the MOA in ceremonies held at the Manila City Hall, which is among the venues to be covered by Smart WiFi. Also present at the signing event was Google Philippines Head of Public Policy Yves Gonzalez.
“We are happy to work with the city government of Manila and Mayor Isko in helping provide connectivity to the city and bring the benefits of the Internet to more Filipinos across the country,” - Manny V. Pangilinan.
Other proposed areas include:
- Ospital ng Maynila
- Tondo Medical Center
- Gat Andres Bonifacio Memorial Medical Center
- Universidad de Manila
- Museo Pambata
Once deployed, these venues in the City of Manila will join the growing list of the more than 400 live Google Station sites that Smart and Google Philippines announced in July 2019.
