PLDT Home Brings High-Speed Fiber to Camotes Island: Unlocking Digital Opportunities for Local Families and Businesses
CEBU, Philippines — PLDT Home has officially expanded its fiber optic network to Camotes Island, delivering fast and reliable broadband connectivity to households across the municipalities of San Francisco, Poro, and Tudela.
Famed for its pristine white-sand beaches, natural underground caves, and thrilling cliff-jumping spots, Camotes Island—often dubbed the "Lost Horizon of the South"—is a favorite destination for travelers seeking a serene tropical getaway. Beyond its eco-tourism charm, the island is now stepping into a new era of digital transformation.
This major network expansion aligns with PLDT’s nationwide mission to bridge the digital divide, bringing critical infrastructure to remote island communities across the Visayas.
"Expanding into Camotes Island is about more than extending our network footprint. It is about helping close a connectivity gap that can limit access to opportunities. By bringing reliable fiber connectivity to island communities, PLDT Home is providing families with the digital infrastructure they need to participate more fully in today’s digital economy," said Menardo "Butch" Jimenez Jr., Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer of PLDT Inc.
Empowering Families with All-in-One Home Broadband
To mark the launch, residents on the island can now access the PLDT Home Fiber Unli All 1499 plan, designed to meet the growing digital needs of modern households.
Unlimited High-Speed Internet: Speeds up to 200 Mbps for smooth streaming, working, and online learning.
Premium Entertainment: Includes 63 Cignal TV channels alongside access to HBO Max Standard.
Flexible Voice Calling: Features unlimited landline-to-landline calls and free calls to five nominated Smart or TNT mobile numbers.
Shareable Mobile Data: Comes with 9GB of monthly Smart mobile data that can be shared across up to three family members for on-the-go connectivity.
Boosting Local Tourism, Remote Work, and Online Learning
High-speed fiber connectivity serves as an economic catalyst for Camotes Island. Reliable home internet enables students to access online educational tools, lets remote workers connect seamlessly with global employers, and simplifies everyday tasks through digital banking, telehealth, and e-commerce.
For local business owners, resort operators, and entrepreneurs, strong connectivity provides the tools needed to boost online visibility, handle digital reservations, accept cashless payments, and showcase the beauty of Camotes Island to potential tourists worldwide.
Community Rollout and Local On-Ground Support
PLDT Home collaborated closely with local government units (LGUs) across San Francisco, Poro, and Tudela to coordinate the network deployment. To help residents sign up and check line availability, PLDT Home set up dedicated information booths at key community hubs:
San Francisco: Agora Public Market
Poro: RBC Business Center (near Poro Port)
Tudela: Beside the Tudela Municipal Hall
The local rollout also boosts community employment by engaging local sales agents and service technicians to handle installations and customer support.
Through ongoing network expansions across the country, PLDT Home continues its commitment to nation-building—ensuring that island communities outside major urban centers enjoy the full benefits of modern digital technology
