Postmaster General Maximo Sta. Maria III of the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) and ISON Tower LTD. Inc., represented by its Chairman Mr. Vivek Gupta have signed the Memorandum of Understanding under which PHLPost properties will be leased for the establishment, maintenance and operation of tower facilities.
The signing was witnessed by DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel R. Aguda together with other business leaders on the sidelines of the Philippines-India CEO Forum where DICT Secretary Aguda and Postmaster General Sta. Maria is part of the delegates joining President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. during his State Visit in India from August 4-8, 2025.
Ison Towers is a large conglomerate and investment holding company, accredited by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to provide common towers in the Philippines, engaged in providing passive infrastructure solutions for network coverage and connectivity.
Both parties recognize the need to upgrade telecom infrastructure to world-class standards, particularly for 5G and beyond services in the Philippines. This will help PHLPost sustain the development of its digitalization roadmap as part of its modernization program.
Postmaster General Sta. Maria noted that the partnership commits Ison Towers to contribute in the rehabilitation of the physical premises of a specific PHLPost branch office within which the tower is built to enhance public service delivery.
These Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), allow the private sector to contribute their expertise, resources, and technology to modernize postal operations and expand digital services, thereby contributing to connectivity and development especially in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDAs).
