Smart Boosts Siargao Tourism with New Pergolas at Paseo de Cabuntog

General Luna, Siargao – As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting Siargao’s thriving tourism industry, PLDT’s wireless subsidiary, Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), recently handed over nine new pergolas at Paseo de Cabuntog in General Luna.

Known as the heart of Siargao, General Luna remains a bustling hub for travelers seeking adventure, relaxation, and the island’s famous surf spots. The newly installed pergolas provide shaded rest areas for tourists and locals alike, enhancing comfort while exploring the scenic coastal walk.

Strengthening Tourism and Local Economy

“We’re happy to continue backing the municipality’s efforts to enhance the tourism experience and welcome even more visitors, ultimately helping the local economy,” said Bernie Deatras, Area Head of Smart’s Mindanao Distributor Sales.

The project aligns with Smart’s broader initiatives in Siargao, including the 2023 donation of solar-powered lamps along Catangnan Bridge—now a beloved landmark that lights up the way for both residents and tourists.

Supporting Sustainable Development

These efforts reflect PLDT and Smart’s dedication to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth. By investing in tourism infrastructure, the company helps create livelihood opportunities and empowers communities across the Philippines.

As Siargao continues to recover and grow as a top travel destination, partnerships like these play a crucial role in ensuring sustainable progress while preserving the island’s natural charm.
