One year after the pandemic disrupted the educational system and forced teachers and students alike to continue their curriculum online, a lot of students in the country still struggle because of the lack of internet connectivity in rural areas. This is the problem of the students from the Pedro and Patricia Lim GK Village in Purok 3, Banlasan Trinidad, Bohol.
While they are in an elevated area, their internet/mobile data connection is very weak which makes it a challenge for students in this community to pursue classes online. They are seeking for support to purchase an internet signal booster to be installed in their area to enable their youth to continue attending their online classes and not have to stop pursuing their education.
Apart from the help this will provide the students, the community also aims to utilize this facility to promote their local products online, which they are currently having a difficulty doing because of their very weak internet signal.
The signal booster costs PHP 4,000 and with all the labor and additional materials needed to set up this facility, the total cost is PHP 8,195.10.
Let’s help more communities adapt to today’s circumstances by helping them gain access to basic technology.

When an act of kindness multiplies, it helps more people. Everyone can help, no matter how small or big. As long as it comes from the heart, we can persuade more people to help. Financial scarcity is not an obstacle to helping those who are in need.
The installation of a signal booster in Barangay Banlasan, Trinidad, Bohol, was finished on May 10, 2023. The installation took longer than expected due to challenges in the community. One was when Super Typhoon Odette caused extensive damage to neighbourhood structures. Because they prioritize repairing the damage to the homes brought on by the powerful typhoon, the installation needs to be put on hold for a while. Also, the electricity restoration causes a delay in the upkeep of the signal booster. The location of the signal booster is another matter the residents are concerned about. With the assistance of community leaders and the participation of the neighbourhood, they have decided to install the signal booster in a location where it can capture a good signal strength, allowing everyone in the community to capture a good signal connection even from the comfort of their home.
Students now have easier access to the capacity to gain more robust connectivity for both phone chats and educational objectives. As a result, their parents feel more at ease because they no longer need to leave the house to obtain a good signal connection.
This project is extremely beneficial not only to the community but also to the families who live nearby. This village struggles to receive better signal coverage for phone calls and text messaging because it is more than 10 kilometres away from the town centre, where the majority of the cell sites are located. The community is certain they can connect with their loved ones after the signal booster was installed, and they now have a better connection. Now, anytime unforeseen events happen, they can easily interact with the LGU response team in an emergency.
On behalf of the beneficiaries, we would like to thank everyone involved in the installation of the signal booster in Barangay Banlasan. May your kindheartedness grow so we can build more resilient communities.
