The information and education departments have allowed the construction of common towers in public schools, which are seen to expand connectivity in underserved areas and help telcos save expenses, an official said on Monday.

"Pinayagan na rin natin na iyong ating mga public schools ay magiging common tower sites kung saan puwedeng magtayo na rin ng mga signal ang ating mga telco companies," said Information Undersecretary Emmanuel Caintic.

"The initiative aims to provide connectivity to all of the DepEd's offices and public schools, especially those in far-flung areas," the education department said in a statement. Once approved, the third telco would be able to build facilities within school premises while providing the education department access to "immediate internet connection," DITO chief technology officer Rodolfo Santiago said.
