The prolong lifespan of prepaid loads for cell phones are the product of joint memorandum being signed by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC).




The government agencies amended NTC's Memorandum Circular No. 03-07-2009, or the Guidelines on Prepaid Loads, which state that validity of prepaid loads shall correspond to the amount of load purchased.

According to Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez through this good news is Presidents Rodrigo Duterte's gift to the public this Christmas hoping that everyone can benefit from in the coming years.

Statistics show that there is 130 million cellphone subscription in the Philippines as of December 2016. Aside from this, it is found out that 90% of cellphone users in the Philippines are in prepaid. These numbers will benefit the extended expiry date of prepaid load to one year.

Lopez added that this is also aimed to help small and medium-sized businesses and to protect consumers.

Currently, a P10 pesos load or lower can be used only up to three days while prepaid credits more than P300 may last up to four mounts.

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. If you are an OFW who enjoy 100Mbps LTE speed in your host country, how would you feel if you are paying more just to get a speed of 3mbps unstable internet? 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.

DUE TO SLOW INTERNET CONNECTION, DUTERTE PLANS TO INVITE CHINESE TELCOS




"Improved your services or face new competitors." This is the repeated warning of President Rodrigo Duterte to telecommunications companies regarding the slow internet connection in the country.



Duterte directed the Smart and PLDT, and the Globe telecom to improve their service or he will ask China for the help.

“If you do not do it right, you wait, I’m going to China,” he said.

“I’ll open up everything for competition. Buksan ko na lang lahat (I will open up everything),” he added.

Businessman Manny V. Pangilinan or known as “MVP” is the chairman and CEO of PLDT and Smart while the Ayalas are the major shareholders of Glove Telecom.



Governments Plan to Solve Slow Internet Connection

1. Government will put up its own telecommunication companies

2. Government will help in the construction of cell sites or fiber optics in areas where signals are very poor

3. Welcome third players in the telecommunication industry for more vibrant competition




Earlier, the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) said that national broadband plan that aims to adress the internet problem in the country is expected to be laid out this year.

It includes increase connectivity in the country by bringing infrastructure to rural areas and reduce the cost of internet service.

The government plants to provide free Wi-Fi connection in arround 600 public areas in the country and there is a proposal also to provide Wifi in schools.


For next year, the government proposed a budget of P1.8 billion to be allotted for the installation of more free Wi-Fi in public areas.

This is much higher that P1.7 billion budget this 2016.

The Philippines is ranked 38 out of 50 countries surveyed, up four spots from its 2015 ranking.

Top in the rankings are the United States, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Denmark, South Korea, the Netherlands, Japan, and Norway.

Some Thoughts About Communication and Filipino’s Abroad (OFWs)

I’ve been here for quite long and a few times I will receive inquiry or asking support from families and love ones back home  para sa kanilang minamahal na nandito sa abroad.


“Ano na po ang balita sa nanay ko dyan?”

“Pwede po bang matawagan ang tatay ko, kasi di na po siya nagtetext sa amin.”

“Kuya, yung nanay po namin, nag-aalala, di na po kasi nagtetext ang Ate na Domestic Helper sa Kuwait.”

“Kenji ito daw yung employer ni Mang Pat, pakitawagan naman at kumustahin siya.”

“Kabayan, kilala niyo po ba si Tomas E. Alba?(Fiction lang yan ha, alam ko alam niyo siya yung nakaimbento ng  light bulb, hahaha) Pakitawagan naman oh, pakisabi naniningil na ako ng pinautang ko sa kanya, di na kasi nagtetext at nagpapakita ang misis niya.


The example goes on and on and on.

I have been suggesting ever since Filipino’s are text addict in the world, and the Philippines is texting capital of the world, to initiate a regulation or a law that each departing OFW must have a number, email address/YM, even Facebook account if talagang kelangan na para makeep track ang bawat OFW kahit saan man silang panig ng mundo. This info must be stored sa POEA at OWWA and even sa mga recruiting agencies at mailagay sa isang microchip where all the names and contact info’s of OFWs is stored for easier access.

Naalala ko lang nung Day of Rage, or nung Arab Spring, last year when there were protests actions in the Middle East. I heard that European and American national receive a constant SMS of update about the situation and what to do and where to go in case the protest escalates. Well, oo nga naman, 12 Million OFWs, paano mo matetext yun but sa galing ng Pinoy sa IT, can we make a system where we can override the system and send important and emergency updates to all our OFWs?

Nung nagkaroon ng Earthquake and Tsunami sa Japan, the social media is buzzing with contact details of embassies and consulates, how can victim be able to call or locate them, but if we have a systematic way of sending those contact details to the registered SMART/Globe Roaming of each and every OFWs, chances that we can convey the message to a lot of people.
During emergency, people will still hold their mobile phones, true? Of course.

 Sa mga OFW naman, there is a distance sa mga OFW and sa kanilang pamilya na naiwan sa Pinas because of lack of communication. Despite of the easy of way communicating through mobile phones and internet chatting, wala na tayong communication except once a month sa pamilya natin ng mga ganitong linya,

“Oh, ayan nagpadala na ako ng P20,000, ikaw na bahala magbudget dyan para sa mga anak natin”

Yan na lang, and then tapos na, next month na lang ulit. Perhaps we cannot blame the poor OFW also. Pagkatanggap ng pera or pagsabi ng padala na naideposito na, wala man lang sasabihing Thank You, kundi

“Bakit P20K lang, kulang yan, may bayaran sa ganito, sa ganyan, etc etc etc”
I know so many OFW’s nagtitiis ng de lata, tuyo, itlog, noodles, and kung minsan, tinitipid ang pagkain para lang may malaking maipdala sa Pinas, and yet wala man lang thank you or text messages galing sa Pinas. Ang text messages or tawag or chatting ay yun na nga lang ang nagbibigay ng lakas ng loob sa mga OFW na tinitiis ang lungkot at pangungulila para lang magkaroon ng maayos na kinabukasan ang mga anak at mahal sa buhay.
Another suggestion, bakit kaya hindi nila gawing requirement na ang mga OFW na paaalis ay dapat magkaroon ng PC or laptop at internet sa bahay sa Pinas, para kahit papaano ay magkaroon ng chance ng chatting at communication sa Pinas ang Tatay or Nanay or Anak na umalis at nangibang bansa?


Anyway, mukhang napahaba, ang suggestion ko lang sa mga OFW saan mang panig ng mundo, magparamdam kayo sa mga mahal niyo sa buhay sa Pinas, hindi lang sa pera kundi kahit sa text man lang kahit isang beses sa isang linggo para di sila masyadong magworry.
Sa mga kababayan naman sa Pinas, please lang, wag naman kada text sa OFW ay hingi ng pera, minsan kaunting text sa isang araw or sa isang linggo na nakakainspire, nakakatuwa, nakakataba ng puso, is enough for an OFW to carry on.

Dun sa may mga utang, or talagang ayaw ng magparamdam, wala na po akong masabi.
