Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) has restored its cellular service in the downtown area of Tacloban City as part of its efforts to support the emergency relief operations of the government and humanitarian agencies.
Smart is now working on restoring coverage in other areas of Tacloban City which were devastated by Typhoon Yolanda.
Earlier, Globe also announced they have been able to reconnect the province of Tacloban with the rest of the world with 1 cellsite serving critical communication requirements of the local government units and agencies involved in disaster response and coordination efforts. The temporary site was put up near Hotel Alejandro along Paterno St. in Tacloban. Tacloban was among the hardest hit provinces of Typhoon Yolanda and the last isolated area where Globe mobile signals were fully disrupted.
