GLOBE and the local government of Pasig City embarked on a new partnership to provide high-speed and affordable internet access through GoWiFi and KonekTayo WiFi. High-quality connectivity is now made accessible to Pasig City residents, helping them become more digitally empowered, especially as more resources and services shift to digital in the new normal.
Formerly known as KapitWiFi, KonekTayo WiFi is a fast and secure community Wi-Fi service that aims to provide households with affordable internet. With KonekTayo WiFi, customers simply need to connect to a KonekTayo WiFi hotspot, purchase a promo and surf all day.
KonekTayo WiFi will deploy buses converted into mobile Wi-Fi hubs, equipped with special antennae that broadcast Wi-Fi signals in select areas in the city as students and workers rely on reliable home internet for learning and working. KonekTayo WiFi via these buses will be available at the Ilaya Covered Court, Santolan Big Ampitheatre and Kapitolyo San Joaquin Elementary School from Monday to Sunday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Likewise, key locations such as the Pasig City Hall will be powered with GoWiFi in order that Pasigueños have reliable internet access. More GoWiFi locations such as the Pasig Mega Market, Rave Park and Plaza Bonifacio, among others, are lined up for implementation in 2021.
Soon, five housing projects or approximately 3,000 households will be powered by KonekTayo WiFi, including Pasig City Bliss Housing, Eusebio Bliss Village, Pasig City, Maybunga Housing Project, Eusebio Bliss 4 Karangalan and Karangalan Village.
