An advocacy group for consumer rights suggested issuing an executive order to 'spell out the guidelines governing the establishment of telecommunication towers and other internet infrastructure' to speed up the nation's digital infrastructure.

The immediate issuance of an executive order that would “spell out the guidelines governing the establishment of telecommunication towers and other internet infrastructure” would help speed up the building of the country’s digital infrastructure, an advocacy group championing consumer rights said.

“But these JMCs will expire in July 2023, and we cannot afford to lose momentum in our pursuit of greater connectivity and digital transformation,” Oxales said. “Telco coverage substantially improved,” he said. “A total of 7,000 towers were erected in just a span of 18 months, bringing the total number to 29,700 from 22,700,” he added.

“The direct results of the JMCs are undisputable,” Oxales said. “This shows we only needed to do things more efficiently in order to see a drastic improvement,” he added. Construction of Underground Fiber Ducts and Installation of Aerial and Underground Cable and Facilities to Accelerate the Rollout of Telecommunication and Internet Infrastructure was issued for the compliance of all parties involved in the permitting process.

Oxales said that CitizenWatch Philippines is in “complete agreement” with the PSAC and ARTA on the matter.
