PhilTower MIDC was formally inducted into the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP), becoming the first independent tower company (TowerCo) in the country to be affiliated with the Philippinesβ leading organization of human resource and people management professionals.
This milestone comes as PhilTower MIDC expands telecommunications infrastructure nationwide amid the accelerated rollout of towers under the governmentβs Common Tower Policy. Alongside build targets, the company is deliberately strengthening the internal discipline required for scale: structured leadership development, workforce capability building, and performance management frameworks.
The membership places PhilTower MIDC within a national network of organizations committed to professional excellence and responsible institutional growth. For a company operating in a capital intensive, fast-scaling sector, the move signals a deliberate focus on building durable organizational capacity alongside physical infrastructure. It underscores its dual focus: engineering excellence and people-centered leadership. It signals a clear choice to match physical expansion with stronger workforce management systems.
βAs we build critical telecommunications infrastructures across the country, we also build workplaces that prioritize integrity, safety, and professional growth,β PhilTower MIDCβs Chief People Officer Mr. Leo Martin Ribas shared. βConnectivity begins with aligned teams, empowered leaders, and a culture grounded on accountability and purpose.β
Founded in 1956, PMAP represents thousands of HR practitioners and corporate members nationwide and is widely regarded as the countryβs leading association for human resource management.
Corporate membership reflects a companyβs commitment not only to operational excellence, but to progressive people practices, ethical standards, and nation-building through empowered workforces.
The oath-taking coincided with PMAPβs 712th General Membership Meeting held recently at the Fairmont Hotel in Makati City. With the theme βPowering the Next HR Shift: Through the Lens of Strategy, Capital, and Technology,β it highlighted the alignment between infrastructure expansion and strong people systems. The ceremony was officiated by PMAP President Engelbert T. Camasura, FPM, MBA.
PhilTower MIDC is one of the Philippinesβ most formidable independent telecommunications tower companies. Born from the strategic joint venture between two industry leaders: Phil-Tower Consortium Inc. (PhilTower) and Miescor Infrastructure Development Corporation (MIDC) in September 2024, this landmark union brings together complementary strengths and deep-rooted expertise, reshaping the future of digital infrastructure nationwide.
As the first TowerCo within PMAPβs ranks, PhilTower MIDC sets a precedent for the telecommunications infrastructure sector, demonstrating that nation-building is not only about expanded digital access, but also about elevated leadership standards, stronger people systems, clearer accountability structures, and institutional credibility.
