MANILA - PLDT and Globe are preparing for emergency operations in Batangas amid Taal Volcano's unrest.
PLDT-Smart said on Thursday that it has "prepositioned personnel, network equipment and resources in Batangas" as PHIVOLCS raised Alert Level 3 over Taal Volcano.
"PLDT and Smart are ready to ensure the resilience of services, and if needed, quick restoration of communication in areas that will be impacted by #TaalPH," the telco said.
PLDT said it is "also ready to extend assistance to response and relief teams in affected communities."
