The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) surpassed its 2025 revenue collection target by 41 percent on stricter regulatory enforcement and growth in the telecommunications sector.
The agency collected P9.33 billion last year, outperforming the P6.62-billion goal mandated in the Budget of Expenditures and Sources of Financing.
NTC officials attributed the performance to streamlined collection processes and concerted efforts to ensure stakeholders comply with remitting spectrum users’ fees, supervision fees and permit licenses.
All revenues collected by the NTC are remitted directly to the national treasury to fund government projects, such as the Department of Information and Communications Technology free Wi-Fi program. The agency regulates cable and television operators, broadcast radio, telecommunications companies, and internet service providers.
NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca Lopez said the commission’s performance supports the fiscal and governance agenda of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. by ensuring sound public finance and advancing digital connectivity.
“By strengthening regulatory compliance and improving collection efficiency, the NTC supports the administration’s efforts to ensure sound public finance, effective regulation, and the delivery of programs that advance digital connectivity, consumer protection, and inclusive national development,” she said.
