Globe's network and core services are operational amid non-stop rains and floods brought by Typhoon Carina and the southwest monsoon.
On Wednesday, call, text and data services in areas affected by the typhoon remained operational, with isolated cases of interruption due to commercial power outages. Globe has also prepositioned personnel for quick response in case of any network emergency.
"We would like to assure our customers that our network is ready for any potential impact of the typhoon and the enhanced habagat on our infrastructure. Our network facilities across the country are built for resilience, with generators and batteries on standby in case of commercial power outages," said Yoly Crisanto, Globe Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer.
Rains continued to batter Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon Wednesday due to the effects of Carina, which also worsened the impact of the southwest monsoon. This has caused persistent rains and widespread flooding, shutting down major roads around the metro.
According to PAGASA, expect moderate to intense rains over various areas in the western portion of Luzon until Thursday. Malacañang has suspended work in government and classes in all levels in Metro Manila, while private companies have allowed workers to work from home.
The public is advised to stay updated and get verified weather reports. Globe provides free data access to the website of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).
