Nears completion of service restoration in typhoon-hit areas
Globe on Friday started deploying Libreng Tawag and Libreng Charging (LT/LC) stations in areas that need connectivity support in the wake of Typhoon Carina and the enhanced southwest monsoon.
Globe’s LT/LC station was first rolled out in Barangay Tatalon in Quezon City.
Location: Diosdado Macapagal Elementary School, Victory Avenue, Tatalon, QC
Schedule: July 26 to 28, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Meanwhile, Globe has nearly completed restoration work in areas hit by service disruptions due to commercial power outages.
As of 9 a.m. Friday, call, text and data services in affected areas in Metro Manila have been fully restored. Most services are also at 100% in towns and cities in Abra, Bataan, Ifugao, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Isabela, La Union, Pangasinan, Tarlac and Zambales that experienced outages.
Restoration work is also round the clock in affected areas in Rizal, Batanes, Benguet, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga and Quirino.
“Our personnel are working double time to quickly restore service in other affected areas. We have also started rolling out our free call and charging stations to give connectivity support in areas reeling from the impact of the typhoon,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer.
Earlier, Globe provided Globe Prepaid and TM users free calls, texts and data for one day, and extended due dates to Mobile and Broadband Postpaid customers. KonsultaMD, Globe’s telehealth provider, also provided one free video consultation voucher valid for one time use within one month via the code ALAGANGGLOBE.
Globe continues to call on customers to send help to severely hit families. Customers may donate their Globe Rewards points through the GlobeOne app.
