Advisory 1: PLDT and Smart ready to support communities ahead of #UwanPH 

PLDT Inc. and its wireless arm Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) are ready for the possible impact of Tropical Storm #UwanPH, which is expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) over the weekend. According to PAGASA, the weather system may intensify as it moves closer to Luzon.

“Communication serves as a lifeline during emergencies. As #UwanPH approaches, PLDT and Smart are working to ensure that communities, including our employees and their families, can stay connected, informed, and safe. Our teams are ready to keep vital links open when they’re needed most,” said Roby A. Alampay, First Vice President and Head of Public Engagement and Corporate Communications at PLDT and Smart.

As part of its regular network operations, PLDT and Smart field teams are prepared to coordinate with local government units and disaster response agencies. The group also continues to monitor and secure the resilience of network facilities in potentially affected areas.

PLDT and Smart encourage communities to take precautionary measures — such as charging devices, securing backup power, staying updated through official advisories, and following the guidance of local authorities — to stay safe and connected during the storm.
