MTN Cyprus offers free air time, aid for Philippines disaster

MTN Cyprus, the island’s second biggest telco, is offering 60 free minutes for calls to the Philippines until the end of the month to existing customers as thousands of workers in Cyprus have families that may have been affected by the deadly Typhoon Haiyan that has devastated the country.
MTN also said it was offering 5000 euros to the Doctors Without Borders charity who already provide medical aid to those in need.
“Our contribution is an attempt to help our fellow people from Philippines who currently work in Cyprus to contact their families and to reciprocate the support and customer loyalty we have been given by the Philippine community all these years,” said Philip van Dalsen, ΜΤΝ’s Chief Executive Officer for Cyprus.
