ISLET Connect to Launch in Gibitngil Island
The ISLET Connect project is poised to launch in Medellin, Cebu, through a strategic
partnership between CVISNET and the Local Government Unit of Medellin. This initiative will
be implemented on Gibitngil Island, a prominent tourist destination in the town.
On July 10, 2025, the CVISNET team had a meeting with Mayor Edwin Salimbangon of Medellin,
discussing the project’s objectives and opportunities. Subsequently, the team, together with
representatives from LGU Medellin and the Philippine Coast Guard, also visited Gibitngil Island for
a site assessment to evaluate key locations such as the Barangay Hall and Gibitngil Integrated
School.
Both CVISNET and the Local Government Unit of Medellin express great enthusiasm for this
pioneering development!
