MANILA, Philippines – “Can you do a better job?”
This was President Rodrigo Duterte’s call to telecommunications companies in a televised speech on Monday night.
“With classes starting, our students will be very dependent on their use of electronics,” he said. “But internal complaints, since the telecommunications companies emerged. It has been the agony of the Filipino people because so far our telecommunications companies are very poor, ”he said.
“I don’t know how to do this,” he added. “Can I appeal to telecommunications [firms]: Can you do a better job? Is there life after this type of service that you are providing to the public? “
Many private schools have already opened for this school year by switching to online classes.
Meanwhile, classes for public schools will open on October 5 under a primarily modular learning system.
Despite scolding telcos, Duterte admitted that their expansion is hampered by the requirements they should have before building cell phone towers.
“Let the telecommunications companies do their job. Let them build the structures, towers if possible, so they can improve, ”Duterte said, referring to local government units.
Earlier, Duterte said he would show “no mercy” to LGUs that hinder the issuance of permits for cell phone towers.
