Globe prepares for Tropical Storm Marce landfall

Globe has initiated preparations for Tropical Storm Marce, which is expected to make landfall in Northern Luzon, aiming to mitigate potential disruptions to its services.

The telecommunications company is closely monitoring the storm's trajectory, which PAGASA said could reach severe tropical storm category.

Network facilities in the storm's anticipated path are being equipped with generator sets and batteries to counter potential power interruptions.

Technical and support teams, along with necessary equipment and supplies, have been strategically positioned for rapid deployment and restoration efforts.

Globe is prepared to offer 'Libreng Tawag, Libreng Charging, and Libreng WiFi' services in areas that may experience severe impact.

Globe chief sustainability and corporate communications officer Yolanda Crisanto assured customers that necessary preparations are being made, acknowledging the country's recent weather challenges.

PAGASA forecasts that Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 may be hoisted over portions of Cagayan by Tuesday, with a possibility of up to Wind Signal No. 4.
