Globe has mobilized its emergency response teams following the magnitude 7.6 earthquake that struck offshore Davao Oriental on October 10. The strong tremor, followed by multiple aftershocks, was felt across the Davao Region and neighboring provinces, prompting precautionary evacuations and the temporary suspension of operations in several establishments.
Globe is closely coordinating with local government units (LGUs) and partner organizations to assess the impact of the quake and ensure continued connectivity and assistance for affected communities. Relief operations are set to take place on Monday, October 13, in Manay, Davao Oriental, in coordination with the Ayala Foundation Inc. (AFI).
“Our immediate priority is to keep people connected and informed as response efforts continue. We are working closely with local authorities to monitor the situation and provide network support where it’s needed most,” said Yoly Crisanto, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer, Globe.
Globe services were affected across 8 provinces. All affected municipalities have since been fully restored, with network restoration reaching 100% in Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Davao de Oro, Davao Oriental, and Lanao del Sur, and 96.55% in Davao City.
Globe assures customers that it will continue to monitor the situation and deploy technical teams as needed to sustain connectivity in all affected areas. Residents are advised to stay alert, follow official advisories from PHIVOLCS and local authorities, and prioritize their safety.
