Their town was one of the first recipients of PLDT and Smart Ligtas Kit back in 2024. “Kasi at least mayroon kami yung Ligtas Kit, malaking tulong na yan para ma-meet natin yung zero casualty [rate] sa aming bayan.” The PLDT and Smart Ligtas Kit is an all-in-one emergency communications solution designed to provide reliable connectivity in times of disaster. The Kapangan local DRRMO used the mobile phone included in the Ligtas Kit as their dedicated hotline, megaphones, crank radio, whistles, flashlights, portable power station, and solar panel. With the Ligtas Kit supporting the municipality’s Emergency Operations Center, communication has become faster, more organized, and more reliable.
