General Luna, Siargao – As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting Siargao’s thriving tourism industry, PLDT’s wireless arm, Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), recently handed over nine new pergolas at Paseo de Cabuntog in General Luna, further enhancing the area’s appeal to travelers.
Known as the heart of Siargao, General Luna remains a bustling destination for tourists seeking adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable island experiences. The newly installed pergolas at Paseo de Cabuntog provide shaded rest areas for visitors, improving comfort while exploring the town’s vibrant surroundings.
“We’re happy to continue backing the municipality’s efforts to enhance tourism experiences and welcome even more visitors, ultimately helping the local economy,” said Bernie Deatras, Area Head of Smart’s Mindanao Distributor Sales.
This project is part of Smart’s sustained efforts to support Siargao’s development. In 2023, Smart donated solar-powered lamps along Catangnan Bridge, which has since become a beloved local landmark. These initiatives not only improve infrastructure but also contribute to the island’s sustainable growth.
The pergola project aligns with PLDT and Smart’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth. By investing in tourism-enhancing projects, the companies help create livelihood opportunities and empower local communities across the Philippines.
As Siargao continues to recover and thrive as a premier travel destination, Smart remains dedicated to initiatives that foster progress, sustainability, and unforgettable experiences for both locals and tourists alike.
