Globe has intensified its relief and network restoration efforts in areas affected by Typhoon Uwan while continuing ongoing response operations for communities previously hit by Typhoon Tino.

As of the latest advisory, “Uwan” has weakened into a typhoon and was located over the coastal waters of Bacnotan, La Union on Monday. The weather disturbance continues to bring heavy rains, strong winds, and storm surges across Luzon, including Metro Manila, and is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility early Tuesday.

To support affected residents, Globe activated Libreng Tawag, Charging, and WiFi (LT/LC/LW) stations in eight areas:

• Cauayan City, Isabela

• Laoag City, Ilocos Norte (two sites)

• Talavera, Nueva Ecija

• Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija

• Guimba, Nueva Ecija

• Naga City, Camarines Sur

• Lasam, Cagayan

Additional activations are underway in other provinces.

Through its “Alagang Globe” program, the telco also distributed 600 meals to 200 families in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, and Aparri, Cagayan.

Network restoration continues, with the company reporting 100% availability in Aklan, Antique, Biliran, Bohol, Capiz, Eastern Samar, Guimaras, Iloilo, Northern Samar, Western Samar, and Siquijor; 99% in Palawan; and ongoing repairs in Cebu (95.5%), Leyte (93.3%), Negros Oriental (98%), Negros Occidental (79%), and Southern Leyte (67%).
