PLDT Enterprise deploys Starlink for Mindanao quake recovery

PLDT Enterprise, together with PLDT and Smart, has deployed Starlink satellite connectivity to restore critical communications after the powerful earthquake in parts of Mindanao. Teams were immediately sent to General Santos City and South Cotabato to assess networks and support restoration in coordination with the DICT and local governments. Most facilities remained stable, with disruptions driven mainly by power outages; Starlink was rolled out at key sites including Malungon and Alabel Sarangani Provincial Hospitals, and response command centers. PLDT COO Menardo “Butch” G. Jimenez Jr. noted connectivity lets people reach loved ones and supports rebuilding, while PLDT Enterprise SVP Blums Pineda said the group aims to be first responders for responders to speed recovery. The companies stand ready to support communities through rebuilding.
