When Typhoon Odette hit several parts of the country in mid-December 2021, the devastation it caused left many Filipinos in the dark during the supposedly festive Christmas season.

But if there’s one thing that became evident days after the typhoon made a series of landfalls, it was that Filipinos, in the spirit of bayanihan, will never hesitate to help each other even in the middle of a pandemic.

In Cebu, over 80 engineers and linemen, and 21 vehicles have been deployed to help Visayan Electric Co. and Mactan Electric Co. restore electricity service in several parts of the province. “Despite the holiday season and the ongoing pandemic, we did not experience any difficulty in forming contingents who are more than willing to help. We will continue helping those affected by Typhoon Odette the best way we can,” he added.

Power generation arm Meralco PowerGen Corporation, through Global Business Power Corporation, also provided 20,000 liters of diesel to fuel generator sets used by PLDT-Smart to restore telecommunications services. It is through their compassion for their fellowmen that they are able to tide through the challenges that come with helping restore electricity service to bring light of hope to those who are still reeling from the impact of the typhoon.
