MESSAGE

Another fruitful year had passed for the National

Telecommunications Commissions (NTC) and I would like to

congratulate anew the 486 men and women of the Agency for their

usual exemplary work.

Regulating the country’s broadcast and telecommunications

industry is no easy task. I remain thankful and consider myself

fortunate for having people in the Commission who show much

dedication for their work.

The Commission continues to take an active role in assisting

stakeholders in the country’s migration from analogue to digital

terrestrial television broadcast. In addition, we find ourselves in

the center of global developments in the field of telecommunications. The task of improving

Philippine internet in the global stage remains a great challenge for all of us. However, with the

planned entry of a new major telecommunications player, the opportunities to address this issue

head-on abound.

The fields of broadcast and telecommunication will undoubtedly remain vibrant in the years to

come. I am confident that the Commission, with its ever-dependable workforce, is ready to take

on any challenge that comes its way.

With all the technological advancements happening in the world today, the NTC can be

considered as an Agency of the future. And, from where I stand, the future looks bright with

dedicated people like you.

MABUHAY PO TAYONG LAHAT!

GAMALIEL A. CORDOBA Commissioner

MESSAGE

We have proven once again that through our collective efforts

and dedication to our craft, we shall not only meet but surpass

our targets for the year 2017.

Our frequent benchmarking activities and continuous operation

to identify and apprehend unauthorized operation of

telecommunication devices and equipment as well as of radio

frequency interferences resulted to better public service,

substantial revenue in fees and penalties and improvement in the

field of telecommunications technology in the country.

The continuous implementation of “Express Serbisyo sa Publico Program” and the Philippine

National Single Window (PNSW) resulted to faster delivery of Public Services.

Again, let us continue to work hard to deliver better service the public deserves.

Mabuhay tayong lahat.

DELILAH F. DELES Deputy Commissioner

MESSAGE

It has been a productive year!

Congratulations to all of us for a job very well done. By strictly

enforcing telecommunications and broadcast laws, rules and

regulations and exacting compliance in the payment of spectrum user

fees (SUF), supervision and regulation fees (SRF), permits and license

fees and penalties and surcharges, we have exceeded the revenue

target set by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) for

year 2017 by almost ₱500.00M. This is the second straight year that

the Commission exceeded its collection target.

As the welfare of the consumers is our primordial concern and priority, we have made significant

progress in consumer protection. The Department of Trade and Industry, Department of

Information and Communications Technology and the Commission have promulgated a Joint

Memorandum Circular prescribing a one (1) year expiration from date of top-up of pre-paid

loads of all ICT providers and public telecommunications entities to afford subscribers more

time to use their loads.

As we strive to be pro-active in the development of information and communications

technology infrastructures and services and in promoting competition in the

telecommunications industry, we are faced with another challenge, the entry of the new major

player in public telecommunications market.

I enjoin the Commission’s workforce to continue to innovate, outperform ourselves and work

hard and help contribute to make the Commission one of the best performing agencies of the

government.

Let us unite in meeting the task for a better and stronger NTC.

EDGARDO V. CABARIOS Deputy Commissioner

and regulations, conventions and treaties where the Philippines is one of the signatories. Under

the SLB are the Special Radio Services Division (SRSD) and the Safety Radio Services and STCW
