PLDT Enterprise proudly announced its strategic partnership with the municipality of Talisay, Batangas, to enhance the town’s communication infrastructure. This collaboration aims to centralise the voice and data services of Talisay’s new municipal building, marking a significant step towards achieving the town’s vision of becoming a smart city.

Empowering Talisay through Advanced Connectivity

Known as the “Seedling Bowl of the Nation” due to its fertile lands, Talisay has always prided itself on innovation and progress. With a population of over 45,000 residents across 21 barangays, the municipality faced the challenge of efficiently managing communication and data across its various departments. The new municipal building, part of Mayor Nestor Natanauan’s roadmap to digitalise LGU operations, now features advanced connectivity solutions provided by PLDT Enterprise.

“To be a smart city, which is our ultimate goal, we need to innovate our operations,” said Mayor Natanauan. “Digitalization is essential not only for the Municipal Hall but also for all the barangays, schools, and hospitals, so we may provide fast and efficient public service.”

PLDT Enterprise has implemented enterprise-grade infrastructure to support its voice and data solutions in the new Talisay building. These technologies are designed to streamline communication, enabling faster response times and more organised interactions between departments and constituents. The centralised system includes a one-number hotline, enhancing accessibility for the community.

“The integration of PLDT Enterprise’s connectivity solutions is crucial for our operations,” added Mayor Natanauan. “This partnership allows us to bring public service closer to the people, cut costs, and improve response times in delivering services.”

Building a Smart and Sustainable Future

Smart cities leverage digital solutions to enhance the livability, workability, and sustainability of urban areas. Centralised data and voice services are foundational elements of this transformation. Efficient data capture, organised data integration, and intelligent data management are essential to improve the quality of life for citisens and encourage their active participation in both physical and digital spaces.

“Enterprise-grade connectivity infrastructure is the backbone of smart cities,” said Ruby Montoya, Vice President and Head of Enterprise Revenue Group at PLDT Enterprise. “In line with our vision to empower LGUs to become smart cities through the Lipad LGU initiative, we are committed to providing solutions needed to achieve efficient data capture and management, fostering a smarter, more connected community for Talisay.”

This partnership also aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 9 (SDG 9), which focuses on building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and fostering innovation. By implementing advanced communication solutions, PLDT Enterprise is helping Talisay build a robust and sustainable infrastructure that enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of public services. This digital transformation not only improves the quality of life for residents but also supports the municipality’s long-term economic growth and environmental sustainability.

As PLDT Enterprise continues to drive digital transformation, municipalities and businesses are encouraged to explore how advanced connectivity solutions can enhance their operations.
