ANGELES CITY -- Overseas Filipino workers and students of Barangay Balibago here have been benefiting from the high-speed internet connection.

Balibago Chairman Rodelio Mamac said the barangay’s second Wi-Fi connection with an average speed of 140 Mbps (download) and 120 Mbps (upload) was installed at Sitio Hadrian 3.

“For sure, my barangaymates in Hadrian 3 and those within the 350 meter radius in Purok 3 and 4 will be more than happy with this internet speed,” Mamac said.

“Good for families who have relatives abroad, they can communicate anytime they want to and even talk face-on through messenger. Likewise, students residing within the 350 meter radius can do research works without leaving their homes,” the village chief added.

Mamac disclosed that they will implement similar project in Puroks 5, 6, and 7. “This is part of our communication services for the benefit of our constituents.”
