Globe to build first on-campus cell site in Lucena City at Enverga University

Globe Telecom and Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation forged a partnership to establish Lucena City’s first on-campus cell site at MSEUF, strengthening digital connectivity, technology-driven learning and academic-industry collaboration.

The partnership was formalized through a memorandum of agreement allowing Globe to construct a cell site within the university campus. The facility is expected to improve mobile and internet connectivity for students, faculty members, employees and nearby communities.

Globe said the initiative forms part of its continuing network expansion program in Southern Luzon. The project also positions MSEUF as a potential hub for future programs involving next-generation networks, cybersecurity, data analytics, industry projects, internships, mentorships and curriculum support.

The new infrastructure will support access to cloud-based applications, research databases, artificial intelligence technologies and other digital resources used in higher education. MSEUF will also be integrated into Globe’s Digital Thumbprint Program, which promotes responsible digital citizenship and cybersecurity awareness among students and educators.

MSEUF President and Chief Operating Officer Naila Enverga-Leveriza welcomed the partnership and described it as a significant step in advancing the university’s commitment to innovation and educational excellence.

“Reliable connectivity has become an essential component of quality education. We are pleased that Globe has chosen MSEUF as its partner for this pioneering initiative, which will benefit not only our students and employees but also the wider community we serve,” Enverga-Leveriza said.

She said the project supports the university’s efforts to provide learners access to modern technologies and digital tools needed to succeed in an increasingly connected world.

Globe Chief Commercial Officer Darius Delgado said the company remains committed to bringing reliable connectivity to educational institutions and empowering young Filipinos through digital access and innovation.

The project further strengthens MSEUF’s growing network of partnerships with government agencies, industries and private organizations that support academic programs, research, community engagement and student development.

Through the establishment of Lucena City’s first on-campus cell site, MSEUF and Globe will help create a more connected academic environment while supporting the city’s growth as an educational and technological center in Southern Luzon.
