In regards with the strong wind and rain brought by the Typhoon Glenda in areas including Bicol, Quezon, Cavite, Laguna, Metro Manila and Bulacan, PLDT, Smart and Sun Cellular issued an advisory to inform the subscribers:
Telecom facilities of PLDT, Smart and Sun Cellular in Metro Manila, Regions 3, 4 & 5 are largely unscathed by Typhoon Glenda, but widespread commercial power outages have disrupted normal services in various areas.
Though key Installations of both fixed line and mobile networks have standby power, many facilities rely in varying degrees on commercial power. Prolonged outages will thus disrupt normal services once the internal batteries in equipment run out.
Both PLDT and Smart have deployed generator sets in strategic areas to keep vital facilities operating and speed up restoration of normal service.
We wish to assure the public that we are exerting every effort to restore normal operations as soon as possible. We thank you for your patience & understanding.
