Per Pulse Cellphone Rates

Posted by: GC in Commuter's Journal Manila

Great news or a new problem? NTC has sent a directive to the big 3 mobile companies here in the Philippines. There were no rates given yet but it will be ? per 6 seconds? From what I’ve heard the first 6 seconds will be for a small amount then the succeeding charges will be different.

I don’t want to be a pessimist nor an antagonist to the idea but whatever rates they propose, we can do nothing about it since mobile communications is becoming more of a necessity than luxury.

The new voter registration ended with a few hundred thousand Filipinos really stuck to the old habit of waiting to the last day of registration.

Some people really doesnt know when to change
They put the blame on COMELEC, Meralco and the rain (As far as I know this has been going on for a long time now)
This is a part of the official document released by COMELEC last year:

REGISTRATION SCHEDULE
