STATEMENT ON THE TELCO REFUND

Rather than dillydallying, the Telcos must oblige to the refund directive of the NTC as soon as possible if they do not want to lose their customers. The government had already spoken. They should not wait for public outrage to arise before they act. Considering the financial difficulties nowadays, cellphone subscribers whether post-payers o pre-payers are eagerly waiting to receive the refund.

The proper government regulator has already issued its order and they should comply. If they don't, I, as chairman of Senate Committee on Public Services, will initiate a review of the Telcos' franchises as this may be a ground for their revocation.

Dapat agarang isauli sa pinakamadali at maayos na paraan ng mga telcos sa kanilang subscribers ang sobrang isiningil nila. Magandang pamasko ito sa publiko. Ang mga ganitong positibong bagay ang dapat natatanggap nila at dapat pagtuonan ng pansin ng pamahalaan, hindi mga panukalang gaya ng text tax na magdaragdag pa ng panibagong pasanin sa kanila.
