'Di masaya sa network provider mo? Libreng magpalit ng telcos na 'di nagpapalit ng number! Alamin ang proseso!

MANILA, Philippines — KINUMPERMA ng mga telecommunication firms sa bansa na binuksan na ng mga ito ang iba't-ibang channel kung saan maaaring makapag-apply ang mga consumers para sa paglilipat ng network na hindi nagbabago ng kanilang mobile numbers.

Pagsunod ito sa Republic Act 11202 o Mobile Number Portability Act na sinimulang ipatupad noong Setyembre 30, 2021.

Naglaan na ng specific mobile number portability (MNP) page ang Globe Telecom kung saan maaaring magtanong ang mga interesadong mag-avail ng nabanggit na serbisyo.

"When implemented, MNP can help promote consumer welfare by fostering the freedom to choose and to respond to quality, price and other relevant considerations without the consumers having to change their mobile numbers whenever they change mobile service providers or subscription plans," pahayag ng Globe Telecom.

Sa ilalim ng batas maaaring lumipat mula prepaid papuntang postpaid at vice versa sa loob ng iisang network ang isang user at posible din ang paglilipat mula sa isang telco papuntang ibang telco.

Maaaring ipadala ang request sa GlobeOne app habang bukas naman ang Twitter account ng Globe para sa mga katanungan.

"This is the best time to be with Globe. There are so many reasons for our customers to stay and excited for those who will join us in the Globe family," ang naging pahayag ni Globe Chief Commercial Officer Issa Guevarra-Cabreira.

Sa hiwalay na pahayag, kinumperma din ng Smart Communication na activated na ang kanilang MNP capabilities.

"MNP is a game-changer, and Smart is best-positioned to champion this initiative and support the government's call for world-class services for all Filipinos," pahayag ni Alfredo Panlilio, PLDT Inc. at Smart Communications President and CEO.

Sa mga Smart subscribers na nais magpalit ng network, kailangan munang makakuha ng unique subscriber code mula sa originating provider.

Pagkatapos nito, maaaring magpunta sa pinaka-malapit na Smart store dala ang valid IDs at proof of mobile ownership upang maipagpatuloy ang proseso.

Starting June, Filipinos May Enter Taiwan Visa-Free

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) announced that Filipinos will be granted visa-free access to Taiwan starting on June 1, 2017. The visa exemption for Filipinos has a duration of up to 30 days, which will be implemented on a trial basis for a period of one year, from June 1, 2017 to July 31, 2018, the ministry said. The government also extended the 30-day visa exemption for Thai and Brunei nationals to one year. Taiwan is gradually removing barriers and obstacles regarding visa procedures including extending visa-free privileges for these countries.The visa application time is also hastened, the ministry said. Since Taiwan offered visa-free entry to the neighboring countries in Southeast Asia, they have seen significant growth in the number of visitors coming to their country. In January, according to the government data, the number of South and Southeast Asian visitors in Taiwan reached 68,000, marking an increase of 42.8 % -- the biggest growth in the period of four years. Taiwan can be a good tourist destination for Filipinos. It will only take approximately two hours travel to go there. Source: Taiwan News Recommended: The PNP advised those who are going for a holiday getaway to make sure that somebody is in the house, shop or establishment before leaving, or in cases where nobody will be there to guard the premises, make sure that the doors and windows are securely locked. They also advised people to make sure to unplug all electrical devices and appliances to prevent any trouble or fire that can be caused by overheated electrical appliances. 2017 Top 10 IDEAS for OFWs to Invest The OFWs are the reason why President Rodrigo Duterte is pushing through with the campaign on illegal drugs, acknowledging their hardships and sacrifices. He said that as he visit the countries where there are OFWs, he has heard sad stories about them: sexually abused Filipinas,domestic helpers being forced to work on a number of employers. "I have been to many places. I have been to the Middle East. You know, the husband is working in one place, the wife in another country. The so many sad stories I hear about our women being raped, abused sexually," The President said. About Filipino domestic helpers, he said: "If you are working on a family and the employer's sibling doesn't have a helper, you will also work for them. And if in a compound,the son-in-law of the employer is also living in there, you will also work for him.So, they would finish their work on sunrise." He even refer to the OFWs being similar to the African slaves because of the situation that they have been into for the sake of their families back home. Citing instances that some of them, out of deep despair, resorted to ending their own lives. The President also said that he finds it heartbreaking to know that after all the sacrifices of the OFWs working abroad for the future of their families they would come home just to learn that their children has been into illegal drugs. "I made no bones about my hatred. I said, 'If you do drugs in my city, if you destroy our daughters and sons, I'll just have to kill you.' I repeated the same warning when i became president," he said. Critics of the so-called violent war on drugs under President Duterte's administration includes local and international human rights groups, linking the campaign on thousands of drug-related killings. Police figures show that legitimate police operations have led to over 2,600 deaths of individuals involved in drugs since the war on drugs began. However, the war on drugs has been evident that the extent of drug menace should be taken seriously. The drug personalities includes high ranking officials and they thrive in the expense of our own children,if not being into drugs, being victimized by drug related crimes. The campaign on illegal drugs has somehow made a statement among the drug pushers and addicts. If the common citizen fear walking on the streets at night worrying about the drug addicts lurking in the dark, now they can walk peacefully while the drug addicts hide in fear that the police authorities might get them.

DO YOU FEEL ANY IMPROVEMENT IN YOUR INTERNET SPEED?

The internet speed in the Philippines has a reputation of one of the slowest in Asia and yet the most expensive.

Below is a video of actual speed test of PLDT MyDSL with 3Mbps speed at 6 AM. The speed test was taken at 6 in the morning which can be considered an off peak time, the story will come in an interesting twist when you take the same test during noon and night time. This is the problem of most OFWs who decided to come home for good to do stocks trading or online business. How would you survive with your newfound online business with internet speed who can't even hold its stability especially if there is no available fiber optic services in your area? Not to mention the business customs of the local telcos to put net capping in their so called "unlimited" internet service. A local telco said in a statement citing the Asia Network Quality Report of J.P. Morgan Securities covering the fourth quarter of 2016. That the internet speed in the Philippines improved in the last quarter of 2016.However, the statement did not include the original report, and details only covered mobile speed, not coverage and reliability.The internet speed in the Philippines has a reputation of one of the slowest in Asia and yet the most expensive.
