Globe network services up in Palawan • PhilSTAR Life

Globe is the first to restore network services in 16 municipalities and other areas across Palawan.

Host to one of the countrys most beautiful beaches, Palawan experienced the tail end of Typhoon Odette's wrath, downing critical telecommunications infrastructure.

Scattered debris and collapsed bridges hindered travel causing Globes field teams to trek for several hours in order to reach their cell sites.

In San Carlos City, Negros Occidental, reinforcements from South Luzon have arrived paving the way for needed immediate repairs. Despite spending three nights on-ground, the team continues to work 24/7 to ensure network restoration in the area.

Mindanao is now closer to completion, while Visayas restoration efforts remain in full throttle.

The teams are working tirelessly on simultaneous cell site repairs across different areas affected by typhoon Odette.
