Globe reiterated that the interconnection problems in North Luzon were
caused by faulty signaling links of PLDT and not by a fiber cut as PLDT would
like the public to believe.
“Here they go again. This is a classic
PLDT, refusing to admit that there is something wrong with their network. More than this, there are several
inaccuracies in their statement,” said Yoly Crisanto, head of corporate
communications of Globe Telecom.
To reiterate, the North Luzon outages started as early as February 25
which Globe reported to PLDT. The
initial investigation showed that there was a problem with the signaling link
specifically in Bulacan at the time and that the PLDT team had given its advise
that it would perform a reset of the signaling links. The next day February 26, the problem has
spread to 5 other areas in Northern Luzon.
