DITO Telecommunity Corp. said Thursday it will not challenge the “Konektadong Pinoy” Law but requested that the telecommunications industry be included in the process of drafting the law’s implementing rules and regulations (IRR).
“Since the government has allowed it to become part of the law of the land, then it’s clear what the policy is, right? I’m not going to fight that policy. Instead, I will support it,” DITO chief revenue officer Adel Tamano told reporters on the sidelines of the launch of its new campaign “Kaya DITO.”
“We will participate fully in preparation of the IRR, specifically to focus on ensuring the security elements of the implementing rules and ensure the high service levels,” he said.
Tamano said one of the things that could be fleshed out in the IRR is the creation of a cybersecurity plan to protect the Filipino people.
“I think the Konektadong Pinoy can be very positive … It can be very positive business-wise,” he said.
The Konektadong Pinoy Act lapsed into law on Aug. 24, 2025.
Meanwhile, DITO chief technology officer Rodolfo Santiago said the company’s future-ready infrastructure sets it apart in delivering on the promise of “Kaya DITO.”
“From day one, we made the deliberate choice to build a true 5G Standalone network, not just marginal upgrades to legacy systems,” Santiago said.
“This decision is what allows us to provide Filipinos with the real 5G experience – faster speeds, lower latency, higher capacity, and maximum reliability,” he said.
DITO’s true 5G Standalone infrastructure, designed without legacy limitations, provides the foundation enabling superior service across all offerings. This technological advantage, validated by OpenSignal’s recognition as the Philippines’ fastest network, is a clear manifestation that DITO continues to fulfill its commitment.
“For too long, outages, dropped calls, and overpriced data have been treated as normal. Let us say it bluntly: It is not normal. Every Filipino has limitless potential when equipped with the right tools, and the game is now changing since DITO has joined the fray and taken up the cause to disrupt the status quo—to deliver inclusive, next-gen technology to the Filipino people,” DITO Telecommunity president Eric Alberto said.
“’Kaya DITO!’ is our battle cry to symbolically break that cycle, because we truly believe that Filipinos deserve better,” he said.
