Globe Telecom subscribers from areas hit by the recent Typhoon Glenda will now have something to smile about as mobile services are now back to normal. They have experienced service disruption last Wednesday due to bad weather.
Company efforts to fast track recovery process have allowed the
telecommunications provider to restore services in affected areas.
Globe
services in northern Luzon and Metro Manila were generally unaffected.
To help residents in areas
severely affected by the typhoon, the telecommunications provider is now
providing more Libreng Tawag stations.
Globe said it added five more Libreng Tawag and Charging sites in
various parts of the country on top of the facilities set up at the Daet
Elevated Town Plaza in Daet, Camarines Norte yesterday afternoon.
Libreng Tawag and Charging
stations are now up at the University of Eastern Philippines, Catarman,
Northern Samar; in front of Tradecom Office, Lapu-lapu St. and in front of
Legazpi Public Market, Legazpi City, Albay; Merville Access Road, Paranaque
City, Metro Manila; and People’s
Hall, Brgy. Poblacion, Muntinlupa
City, Metro Manila.
At the same time, Globe has
identified the municipalities of Sto. Domingo and Malinao in Albay as priority
areas for relief operations that will be conducted over the weekend.
Two of the areas being
assisted by Globe –Sto. Domingo and Malinao, are part of the company’s
community-based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Program to help
communities prepare for possible emergencies during the rainy season such as
flooding, landslides, and strong winds. Other areas for assessment are the
provinces of Quezon and Bataan.
