Smart activates its 'Libreng Tawag at Charging' station in Barangay San Miguel, Boac, Marinduque

Smart has extended communication aid in Marinduque and Masbate after the provinces were hammered by Tropical Storm Jolina’s strong winds and torrential rains.

To assist affected residents, Smart has activated its Libreng Tawag (free calls) at Libreng Charging (free charging) stations in Barangay San Miguel, Boac, Marinduque.
