In particular, Smart will deploy fast, FREE and open WiFi connectivity from Google Station at the Plaza Dilao, Casa Manila, Museo de Intramuros, Plaza Roma, and Fort Santiago, as well as across Luneta under the agreement.

Once up, these venues will join the growing list of the more than 400 Google Station venues around the country.

To recall, anyone who will connect to the Google Station: Smart WiFi stations can use the internet for 30 minutes. When you use up the 30 minutes, you can register again for another 30 minutes.

This partnership with the Department of Tourism, Intramuros Administration and the National Parks Development Committee is a testament to PLDT-Smart’s commitment to boosting the Philippine tourism industry, said Hernandez. We look forward to helping Secretary Puyat and the DOT in their tourism efforts across the country.

We are happy to partner with the government to further enhance its ability to deliver quality services for the Filipino people through connectivity, and to contribute to efforts in preserving history and making historical information more accessible to everyone, said Panlilio.

It aims to promote historical and cultural tourism by providing tourists relevant information using your smartphone.

Launched in 2012 in Cebu, it has been implemented in Antique, Baguio City, Bicol Region, Davao, and Metro Manila.
