Globe Telecom has joined a consortium to build the Candle submarine cable system, which will connect Japan and Singapore with additional links to Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The consortium includes SoftBank, Meta, IPS, TM Technology Services, and XLSmart Telecom. The cable system will feature 24 fiber pairs, enabling higher-capacity, lower-latency transmission to meet growing connectivity demands across Asia. Globe Telecom will provide a cable landing station in Nasugbu, Batangas, Philippines, and expects the system to be operational by 2028.
