'It may be more important to focus more on the fact that Dito has committed to invest P250 billion to improve the Philippine telco industry,' says Dito Telecommunity.

China-backed Dito Telecommunity again dismissed national security threats being raised in relation to its recently signed, saying that it would be better to focus on the company's investments instead.

"More than the other issues which have all been answered in our previous public statements, it may be more important to focus more on the fact that Dito has committed to invest P250 billion to improve the Philippine telco industry and has been providing much needed investments and jobs for our countrymen, especially during this pandemic," he added.

"The memorandum of agreement signed with the AFP contained the very same provisions signed by the other two telcos with the notable exception that additional provisions were provided pertaining to commitments of Dito to national security," Tamano said. "May we further remind everyone that as part of the new major player selection process, we have submitted ourduring the bidding process to prove that our networks and facilities will not compromise national security and shall abide with the National Cybersecurity Plan," said Tamano.

Boo! Hindi nga masugpo ng NTC yang mga pesteng scammers na yan... Dadagdag pa DitoTelecomPH kelan nyo balak higpitan yung sim ownership?

Military men will never know how valuable data is. In fact, it's considered as a new natural resource, just like oil, minerals, water, etc. Those cell sites are mining tunnels of China.

They will surely be remembered in history as traitors of this country.

mga mukhang pera, kunin nyo na lahat

gobyerno lang ang mukhang pera ngayon sa Pinas. yung mga mamamayan gusto ng check and balance at busisiin ang kontrata kung talagang makabubuti ba ito sa nakararami o kay tatay at alipores niya lang. sobrang special treatment ng hayop na kumpanyang yan! 👊🏼💩

Pera pera nalang ba? Kapalit ng siguridad ng bansa?

Smokescreen.

Oh, they will surely invest that 250 BILLION. And given Congress' unprecedented quick passage of their franchise, they will be likely feeding hungry corrupt politicians. So dito, in essence is China's political investment and NOT really an infra investment.

TraitorFromDavao and his Cabal PilipinasGotTraitors

If it is from China, pwe! Maybe they could buy Duterte and his minions; China can never buy our sovereignty!

₱250 billion investment national security? 🤦‍♂️

Dito nga sila (mga kurap) nakafocus, sa 250B at naglalaway pa.

That over national security? Are you serious?

Regardless..! When China is involved all trust is lost! Umalis muna sila sa West Philippine Sea!

SpaceX project starlink of the US will make dito services obsolete. The system consists of numerous small satellites wrapped around the globe reaching all remote places and work is currently in progress. Why waste P250 billion on DITO?

Beware of China bearing gifts.

By the time you found a way to spend a few billions the Philippines will have been swarmed with fast Starlink internet connection available even to the remotest places in the country. Dream on. Domestic providers are pathetically inefficient.

What does REAL 'sovereignty' cost?
