00:00Let's talk about the illegal use of the Emergency Cell Broadcast System for campaigning.
00:07Let's talk to Engineer Mary Colleen Cas, Officer-in-Charge of the NTC Industry Planning and Management Branch.
00:15Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
00:20Good morning to everyone watching.
00:25We already have a lead on how and who is behind the use of the Emergency Cell Broadcast System, ma'am.
00:37So, first of all, we are asking the public to know that it is based on the initial consultation of the NTC.
00:46It is not from the legitimate or official National Emergency Cell Broadcasting System.
00:52Instead, it is a type of SMS Blasting Machine or SMS Broadcaster.
01:02This SMS Broadcaster is capable of sending flash messages.
01:09Is this something that is in the hands of some individuals?
01:15Because it is said that there are people who can really buy this if you think about it in other countries.
01:19It is like a text blast for those who want to spread it, right?
01:25Either their promos or in this case, the names of the candidates, right?
01:32Yes.
01:36At present, ma'am, the NTC believes that there are real legal devices like SMS Blaster.
01:44In fact, we have a lot of these types of technology in collaboration with the NTC.
02:01Aside from the individuals who are legally imported,
02:07there are also sellers who are monitored by the NTC.
02:15Okay.
02:16So, there are people who are monitored and there are a lot of people who can buy this device.
02:23So, just be careful for those who will receive it.
02:28We should believe, especially if this came from and is being made as a campaign by some candidates.
02:36We have talked to Engineer Mary Colleen Cass,
02:40the officer in charge of the NTC Industry Planning and Management Branch.
