A group of network advocates called on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to immediately issue an executive order that would put permanent guidelines on establishing telecommunication towers and other digital infrastructure. | BPinlacINQ
“We cannot afford to lose momentum in our pursuit of greater connectivity and digital transformation,” he said. “This shows we only needed to do things more efficiently in order to see a drastic improvement.”
As the deadline for the JMCs approaches, compliance “might stop and [be] reversed with more red tape,” thus Oxales has joined the Private Sector Advisory Council and the“It is not difficult to imagine how much better we would have performed if all local government units and agencies concerned complied with the JMCs. Only an executive order will have the effect of a law which, in turn, will ensure sustained compliance and enforcement of the guidelines,” he said.
In light of the government’s bid to advance telecommunication and internet coverage in the country, Oxales pointed out that missing the chance to clamp down on red tape and other bureaucratic woes “would be a huge setback in our drive to become a competitive digital economy.” Marcos had earlier underscored his administration’s goal of addressing slow internet connectivity and building up cybersecurity in the Philippines.
