The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is cutting red tape and giving tower companies a longer runway to build faster-supporting President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s push to fast-track digital connectivity.
Through Department Circular No. 6, Series of 2025, the validity of tower licenses is now extended from 5 years to 15 years.
The Tower License Term Extension was jointly launched by the DICT and the Information Tower Companies Association of the Philippines (ITCAP) at the PhilTower site in Meralco Kamuning Substation, Quezon City.
The ceremony was led by DICT Secretary Henry Aguda and PhilTower MIDC President and ITCAP representative Mr. Devid H. Gubiani, together with executives from Alliance Towers, American Tower, EdgePoint, EDOTCO, Frontier Tower Associates, Ison Tower, LDIC, PhilTower MIDC, and Unity Digital Infrastructure.
