CEBU CITY, Philippines – Governor Gwendolyn Garcia said on Thursday that DITO Telecommunity Corp., the country’s third telco, has expressed interest in providing its services to the Camotes Islands in Cebu province.

On Wednesday afternoon, telco authorities led by lawyer Adel Tamano met with Garcia to examine the prospect of providing internet access to the islanders of Camotes.

According to a 2015 census, Camotes, which includes the municipalities of Poro, Tudela, San Francisco, and Pilar, has a population of over 100,000 people.

It is also one of Cebu’s most popular tourist destinations, including world-class attractions such as white sand beaches, waterfalls, and caves.

However, telco signals have always been unreliable in that area, according to Garcia.

“You know, that’ll be a statement talaga,” she says (really). Because you’re not only referring to the local people. We’re also talking about the tourists who visit, and their main issue is that there is no signal,” she added in a statement.

If DITO’s plan comes to fruition, Garcia believes it will address the area’s interconnection issues.

“If you can set up ahead of these two telecoms (if you can set up),…” Wow, that’ll be a significant statement of your presence in the market, since tourists will be advertising you through word of mouth because you’ll finally solve a long-standing problem,” she added.

During the meeting, Tamano expressed gratitude to Garcia for her early support of their efforts to extend their market share, which had previously been dominated by two major companies – Globe and Smart.

He vowed to speed up their feasibility assessment so that Camotes residents had more options for their telecommunications demands.

He also informed the governor of their service promotions and pricing, which are far lower than the competition.
