Since 2016, Smart has been ramping up the deployment of Smart WiFi in high foot-traffic areas across the nation, and is also available in airports, universities and malls.
With Smart WiFi in place, Filipinos passing through these hubs can access correct information from official sources, such as the Department of Health (DOH) and other government and news websites, for updates on the COVID-19 community quarantine.
“Let us work together in dealing with this health crisis by keeping ourselves informed on how to best safeguard our health and that of our families and communities during the community quarantine, as well as helping share the correct information about what is happening,” said PLDT-Smart Public Affairs Head Ramon R. Isberto.
