MANILA, PHILIPPINES – As the world continues to battle the threat of COVID-19, medical and other essential frontliners have been putting their lives at risk for the last four months in order to serve the public. Globe Telecom is recognizing the pandemic’s toll on frontliners, who not only must deal with the virus but also distance themselves from their loved ones to ensure their safety through an inspirational video.
“Medical frontliners are in vulnerable positions as they have been leading the fight against COVID-19 for the past four months or so. The most painful part about this is that they must constantly distance themselves from everyone, especially their loved ones,” shared Albert de Larrazabal, chief commercial officer at Globe. “By offering fast and reliable WiFi connectivity in hospitals and quarantine facilities, we hope to empower frontliners in bridging this gap between them and their loved ones as we continue our battle as a nation against this pandemic.”
GoWiFi has provided free and unlimited internet to over 80 hospitals and quarantine facilities across the country since the outbreak of COVID-19 last March. These include the following locations:
