The fixed and mobile network facilities of PLDT, Smart and Sun have remained fully operational in the course of the ongoing electoral exercise. As a result, transmission of election returns that have been coursed through our facilities have been handled with dispatch.  There were isolated incidents in the various places. One case is the transmission trouble we experienced in the Zamboanga peninsula Tuesday morning because of accidental damage on our facilities which affected mobile and fixed services in Zamboanga City.

Please be advised that the PLDT interconnection facilities serving Northern Luzon is operating normally, contrary to an erroneous advisory issued by Globe to its subscribers yesterday (Feb. 27).   Other carriers  such as BayanTel and Digitel are not experiencing any trouble in the same interconnection gateway facility that Globe is using. This indicates that the interconnection problems being experienced by Globe in Northern Luzon are caused by problems in Globe's network and transmission facilities.
