A confirmation message will be sent to customers advising them that the free roaming offer is ready for use.
“Tens and thousands of Filipinos work and live in Taiwan, with thousands more going on a visit annually.

At 10:33 a.m., the Philippines’ seismology agency canceled the warning.Public Service
