Severe Tropical Storm Crising, intensified by the Southwest Monsoon, has caused widespread flooding across the Philippines, affecting nearly 1.3 million people in more than 240 areas, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) on Tuesday.
In the wake of heavy rains brought by the southwest monsoon (Habagat), the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) is operating on a 24/7 basis to restore electricity in flood-affected areas across its franchise.
In response to Typhoon Crising, Globe Telecom is providing free unlimited calls and texts to all networks and mobile data to help affected Filipinos stay connected during the crisis.
