00:00 The National Telecommunications Commission's fine for the companies that violate their laws was very high.

00:07 That's why the Federation of International Cable TV and Telecommunications Association of the Philippines

00:12 and especially the small operators will be condemned.

00:16 The explanation of the NTC in the speech of Bernadette Reyes.

00:19 The Federation of International Cable TV and Telecommunications Association of the Philippines of FICTAP

00:29 will be condemned by the NTC.

00:37 The NTC will be held accountable for the violation of the law

00:39 of the public telecommunications entities, radio, TV and other broadcast stations,

00:45 and cable antenna television operators.

00:48 In the draft memorandum circular,

00:50 the fine will be reduced from P5,000 to P2,000,000 every day

00:54 to those who violate any certificate, law or regulation of the NTC, depending on the size of the company.

01:01 There are also particular violations that can reach up to P1,000,000 depending on the type of violation and size of the company.

01:09 For example, the operating without valid authority,

01:12 which can reach up to P200,000,000 for large companies.

01:18 According to FICTAP, it is not possible by small cable and internet operators.

01:23 Only large companies can benefit from this.

01:27 This will result in the return of Duopoly to the local telecommunications industry

01:32 and the death of MSMEs, the loss of jobs in the Philippines

01:37 and the loss of millions of pesos in the government.

01:39 If you didn't pay the penalty, you will be suspended.

01:43 If we cannot pay the penalty,

01:45 whatever the fault of the cable operator or cable internet provider, we will be closed.

01:52 Who will deliver to the countryside?

01:55 So now, what will happen is Duopoly will return because these big players can afford.

02:03 It is also important that the memorandum circular passed the so-called regulatory impact assessment

02:08 or investigation before the implementation of the new fine.

02:11 In the so-called NTC's help on May 15, FICTAP mentioned these facts,

02:17 but NTC's support was not enough.

02:20 Before you make a law, especially when you increase or pay a penalty,

02:26 you need to go to the court.

02:28 If you go to the court, it's a public discussion.

02:32 We will know in the court and we will discuss how to pay the penalty.

02:37 FICTAP clarified that they are not in favor of the payment of the fine,

02:42 but it seems that there are more incentives for the countryside

02:45 that also wants to provide services while the small local service providers are having a hard time.

02:51 In an interview, NTC said that after the thorough study of the input and comments,

02:58 the agency will issue a revised version of the memorandum circular.

03:02 This can be added to the new public consultation if necessary.

03:07 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, for Tutok, 24 hours.
