Telecommunications provider Globe has accelerated its relief and recovery operations in the aftermath of Typhoon “Emong,” swiftly restoring connectivity and delivering critical assistance to more than 1,000 families across severely affected areas.
As of late morning Saturday, Globe reported significant progress in restoring mobile services in 101 of 135 typhoon-affected municipalities, with restoration efforts ongoing in remaining locations. A total of 395 cities and municipalities across 19 provinces initially experienced service disruptions due to extensive power and transmission outages.
“Our teams on the ground are working around the clock to reconnect communities and deliver aid where it’s needed most,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe chief sustainability and corporate communications officer. “Every site we restore and every family we reach reflects our continuing commitment to serve with urgency and compassion during calamities.”
To support affected residents, Globe has maintained four active Libreng Tawag, Libreng Charging (LTLC) stations across Rizal, Cavite, and Tarlac provinces. These temporary sites allow residents to charge devices and make free calls to contact family members and access vital information. Previous LTLC deployments in Taytay, Quezon City, Tarlac City, Malabon, and other areas helped restore essential communication channels in the storm’s immediate aftermath.
Beyond connectivity, Globe, in partnership with Brigadang Ayala and Ayala Foundation Inc. (AFI), has already delivered aid to 902 families. An additional 121 family food packs—prepared in collaboration with Rise Against Hunger—are scheduled for deployment on 28 July, adding to the 359 packs previously distributed.
This rapid and multi-pronged response reflects Globe’s broader disaster resilience framework, which integrates network recovery with humanitarian support through partnerships with national and local organizations.
