Following the president’s order to improve services, telecommunication companies are now on a race to report their progress on building new towers to the government, Malacañang said Thursday.
President Rodrigo Duterte in July warned telcos that he will consider shutting them down if improvement is not observed until December.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque commented that there seems to be “no improvement yet” on the service of PLDT and Globe Telecom, which he asked to submit a progress report.
“Lahat sila nag-uunahan magbigay ng eksplanasyon.”
The spokesman added that the next press briefing would focus solely on telcos and their progress report.
“We will have the telcos, all 3 of them, and the NTC on Tuesday,” he said.
