1,  According to Sen Bam Aquino, Senate Chair on Entrepreneurship and business to declare internet as basic service.  A legislation is needed to amend RA 7925 or Public Telecommunications Policy Act of 1995.

 According though to DOTC ASec Geronimo Sy, mere declaration of NTC that internet is basic service will suffice

Top Cities in the Philippines with Fastest Internet Speed.

Our internet is one of the slowest in the world, if not in Asia.  We are 21st, of the 22 countries compared ahead of Afghanistan.  (But that country is war torn -  we are not.  Well if you consider the warring politicians and religious groups)  Our internet is one of the slowest, and one of the expensive.


From Rappler - Phil is 155th of the 190 countries surveyed on internet speed
We must campaign to make this fast by appealing to NTC to our legislators, and to top honchos of telcos.  Are we together here?
