A Manila-based think tank has warned that national security may be undermined by "hostile entities" exploiting Philippine telecom networks should the regulatory oversight function of the National Telecommunication Commission become weaker.In a statement, Stratbase ADR Institute raised concern over Senate Bill 2699, or the Konektadong Pinoy Bill , which does not require data transmission industry participants to secure a legislative franchise.
It said the proposed legislation "could compromise the integrity of the Philippines' internet infrastructure amid escalating Indo-Pacific tensions even though it is packaged as a law that would improve internet connectivity.""By bypassing the legislative franchise requirement, the bill in its current version would weaken the regulatory framework that ensures the safe and secure management of the country's telecommunications infrastructure," it said.
