24 July 2024

Globe has prepositioned its personnel and supplies in Luzon as Typhoon Carina continues to intensify monsoon rains.

“Our facilities are equipped with generators and alternative backup power sources to ensure steady power supply and prevent commercial power outages from affecting the delivery of connectivity services,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer.

Globe is also on standby for the possible deployment of Libreng Tawag, Libreng Charging and Libreng WiFi Services in areas where the storm may cause power and service outages.

Affected residents are reminded to make their own preparations, including storing food, water and medicine, readying first aid kits, emergency light sources and batteries, and charging their mobile devices.
