Empowering Local Governance with Reliable and Scalable Digital Solutions
In a move to modernize operations, the City Government of Cadiz has partnered with PLDT Enterprise to upgrade its digital infrastructure. This collaboration aims to boost operational efficiency and deliver faster, more responsive services to the public.
Recognizing the vital role of technology in governance, the Local Government Unit (LGU) sought to establish a reliable, secure, and scalable ICT foundation. This upgrade ensures seamless coordination between departments and guarantees uninterrupted delivery of public services.
A Commitment to Digital Transformation
This partnership reflects PLDT Enterprise’s dedication to supporting regional LGUs in adopting technology to improve governance. The initiative aligns with Cadiz City’s goals of enhancing transparency, efficiency, and citizen-centric services while equipping employees with modern digital tools.
“Reliable connectivity is essential for local governments to deliver efficient and citizen-focused services,” said Ma. Hazel Amoyan, Customer Relationship Management Head – Visayas, PLDT Enterprise. “By supporting Cadiz City with a modern and resilient digital infrastructure, we are helping strengthen government operations while enabling technology-enabled public service delivery.”
The upgrade also supports the LGU’s compliance with Republic Act No. 11032 (Ease of Doing Business Act), ensuring smoother online transactions and streamlined processes.
“For us, technology is not about systems—it’s about service,” shared Hon. Salvador Escalante Jr., City Mayor of Cadiz. “This partnership helps our people experience government that works more smoothly, responds faster, and is better equipped to meet everyday needs. By strengthening our digital backbone, we’re making sure Cadiz is ready to serve its citizens today and in the years ahead.”
Building a Robust Digital Backbone
To achieve these goals, PLDT Enterprise deployed a comprehensive suite of connectivity solutions across various LGU facilities:
✅ Fully Redundant IP Backbone: Ensures reliable data connectivity and seamless communication between departments.
✅ High-Speed Internet: Supports daily operations, online transactions, reporting, and digital services.
✅ Unified Communication Systems: IP-based voice trunking and PBX systems, including PoE-enabled VoIP devices, simplify infrastructure and reduce costs.
✅ Network Monitoring: Real-time usage tracking and reports help optimize resources and performance.
Ensuring Uninterrupted Public Service
Prior to the partnership, the LGU faced challenges with fragmented connectivity and limited capacity. Today, with PLDT Enterprise’s solutions and 24/7 technical support, Cadiz City enjoys improved system reliability and continuous operations—even for mission-critical functions.
With this upgrade, the City Government of Cadiz is now equipped with a future-ready foundation, paving the way for a smarter, more efficient, and digitally empowered community.
