With service availability in North and Central Luzon now restored to over 90%, our fixed and wireless network restoration efforts are mostly focused on the hardest hit areas of Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, Kalinga, Benguet and Mountain Province where transport conditions remain difficult due to landslides, damaged roadways and bridges and widespread power outages. We continue to work with local governments and disaster response agencies to gain access to these areas.
