“The picture is not yet complete. We still don’t know the extent of the damage inflicted by Typhoon Odette because we are still in the process of assessment,” said Randy Galang of National Grid Corp. of the Philippines.
Telecommunication and internet providers said they were working to restore services in the hard-hit areas, but gave no assurances as to when they can go back online. Debris were still being cleared and repair works were still in progress to have the airport reopened by Dec. 19, an airport spokesperson said.
