Romualdez also said Monday he expects the country’s internet speed to go up a notch next year once the Department of Information and Communications Technology implements its National Broadband Plan that has been allocated P1.5 billion in the proposed 2023 national budget.
The proposal is contained in House Bill 6398 that seeks the establishment of the MWF, which would draw resources primarily from contributions from the Government Service Insurance System , Social Security System , Land Bank of the Philippines , and Development Bank of the Philippines . Ako Bicol party-list Rep. Zaldy Co, chairman of the House committee on appropriations, said the P1.5 billion that was allocated for the NBP will go a long way in jumpstarting the program that is envisioned to provide the backbone in providing internet to all government agencies nationwide.
