NEGROS-CEBU QUAKE: Smart Communications Advisory

Smart Advisory: We are now on our third day of providing Libreng Tawag services to our countrymen affected by the Negros Oriental earthquake. Please help us inform everyone that Smart Libreng Tawag operations are ongoing at Guihulngan National High School, Guihulngan City Hall and Tayasan evacuation center. We are also with the National Telecommunications Commission in offering free calls at La Libertad. Smart is now coordinating with various partners and government agencies for the immediate distribution of aid to affected residents. Thank you very much. Let’s hope and pray for everyone’s safety.



Smart Negros Oriental Operations Update: These trucks contain 7,000 6-liter bottles of distilled drinking water from Smart Communications, Inc., the PLDT-Smart Foundation, and 1,500 from Coca-Cola thru the Corporate Network for Disaster Response (CNDR). 


These were turned over by Smart to the local government through Rep. Josy Limkaichong whose district is the most affected by the recent earthquake. Scarcity of drinking water remains to be a problem in the severely-affected areas of Guihulngan, La Libertad, Tayasan and Jimalalud and these donations are now being transported and distributed to our kababayans in Negros Oriental through the help of the LGU and the Armed Forces of the Philippines. 


We are still offering free calls and free charging to affected residents today. We also partnered with the office of Gov. Roel Degamo in providing assistance and communications support to the relief operations center.
