Globe: 15 days free text to all networks, free calls to Globe and TM for Marawi users

The Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Department of Information and Communications Technology, and Globe Telecom on Thursday announced that Marawi City residents will have 15 days of free texting to all networks and free calls to Globe and TM in Marawi City.

Globe and TM prepaid customers in Marawi City will receive a text message from the telecommunication company within the next few days to inform them about the promo.

Globe president and chief executive officer Ernest Cu said the free call and text services will be available to prepaid customers. The promo does not include mobile data.

He said the possible extension of the free call and text services will be evaluated depending on the current situation.

DICT Secretary Rodolfo Salalima said the donation from Globe will help residents and government troops in Marawi.

“The donation is timely kasi the people of Marawi have suffered so much. Even our soldiers suffered too much sacrificing their lives for democracy. There is also a need for the civilian population to connect with the loved ones. This is to help the people of Marawi who are not only hurt; some of them have died,” he said.

The press conference is ongoing, as of posting time. — BM, GMA News
