#satellite data

The Philippines and the European Union (EU) are working together to improve digital connectivity, strengthen cybersecurity, and expand access to satellite data under a new initiative aimed at supporting economic growth and disaster resilience. One of the key parts of the initiative is access to data from the EU's Copernicus Earth observation system. The Philippine Space Agency and the National Irrigation Administration have signed a deal to use satellite data to improve irrigation and water management in the Philippines. Under the deal, both agencies will work together on research and use satellite data to track water use and irrigation systems. This will help them make faster and better decisions based on data. The partnership will also create tools that use space data to improve how irrigation systems are managed. According to DICT data, complaints fell from 1,210 in January to just 151 as of June 23, 2026.
