With the power outage in nearby barangays and towns within the province, SM City Tarlac offers free charging station to residents so they could charge their mobile phones as these are essential for easy-access to communication and information. Some are also charging their powerbanks and rechargeable fans.
SM City Tarlac earlier waived the overnight parking fees for residents who sought temporary shelter. SM Supermalls continue to work one with the community it serves by setting up command post to provide immediate assistance.
SM Foundation is on standby to extend relief assistance through its Operation Tulong Express program in close coordination with local officials in the affected barangays and DSWD. This is alongside continued relief efforts for affected victims of Typhoon Rolly in Bicol.
