“First world connection is more than that just fast internet but is also about building a better nation that transcends borders and opens infinite possibilities for everyone. We are excited about this development because of the immense benefits that the undersea cable system will bring the Philippines. For one, it will provide support for the expanding business requirement for data in the Mindanao region where the cable landing station is located in the country as a whole. This will also ease our dependence on international cable systems and ensure the resiliency of the country\s internet connectivity,” said Ernest L. Cu, Globe President, and CEO.

“On behalf of the Philippine Government, we congratulate Globe Telecom for further improving the state of Internet connectivity in the Philippines. This launching of this SEA-US cable system underscores the importance of integrating ICT in the improvement of government service delivery. We look to this Globe and SEA-US project being of help to the government in realizing its ICT roadmap,” said Department of Information and Communications Technology Secretary Rodolfo Salalima.
