PLDT and its cellular subsidiary Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) have prepositioned employees and mission-critical equipment in North Luzon as severe tropical storm #FloritaPH continues to build and moves towards the Isabela-Cagayan region.
Libreng Tawag (free calls), Libreng WiFi (free WiFi), and Libreng Charge (free charging) stations from the PLDT group are also on standby, ready to be deployed in regions that may be severely affected by the tropical storm.
