20 Communications

Introduction .

E fficient communication systems bridge all sectors making the transfer of communication fast and smooth. It makes communication between individuals and among entities easy and the transfer of information and data speedy and secure. Reliable and efficient communication systems, in effect, can help spur and generate expanded markets for industries and for the country’s economic growth and development. Recognizing this, the Philippine government, through the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), has continued to create and implement programs that will support the demands of the public for a more efficient communications system. Today, the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has advanced quite well marking the government to find needed strategies to promote its sustainable development. Presented in this chapter are data on the telecommunications industry as well as statistics on ICT. Postal services, print media, film industry and advertising services are likewise discussed.

20.1 Telecommunications

Development of Telecommunications

Telecommunication industry had its beginning in 1867 when the telegraph service was first introduced. The sole telecommunications infrastructure by that time included submarine cables installed by a foreign company, the Royal Telegraph Corporation. These lines connected and Corregidor when the country was then a colony of Spain. Thereafter, submarine cables were extended to other parts of the country. Later in the same year, two other companies forged a 20-year development contract with the Spanish government, linking Manila with , , Capiz, and . Shortly after, the country developed overseas connections via submarine cables connecting Bolinao in to Hong Kong. The coming of the Americans in the 1900s improved communication facilities. The American military forces installed overland wires and more submarine cables, which were later turned over to the Philippine government under the auspices of the Bureau of Posts. A telephone system followed after a new firm, the Philippine Islands Telephone and Telegraph Company, registered under the laws of Nevada in

the United States. This company, which now assumes the name Philippine Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (PT&T), began with only 400 clients. To service the demand for more telephones, the Philippine legislature approved in November 1928 the franchise of another private telecommunications company, the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT). PLDT acquired the assets and property of its competitor, PT&T, and took over telephone operations in the south. All telecommunications systems in the country consolidated as a result. From then on, PLDT rose to become the country’s biggest telephone company. As the industry progressed, legislation was passed for a recognized body that would oversee the operations and maintenance of government telecommunications services and facilities. The Reorganization Law of 1947 created the Bureau of Telecommunications (BUTEL), now known as the Telecommunications Office (TELOF). Upon creation, the BUTEL established the Government Telephone System and took over 169 telegraph landlines. The invention of communication satellites in the 1960s brought in sweeping transformation for the industry. Two entities, the Philippine Communications Satellite (PHILCOMSAT) and the Domestic Communications Satellite (DOMSAT), were established to handle the application of satellite technology in the country. With the industry becoming more and more complex, the government sought order by creating the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), and the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, now the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), through Executive Order (EO) 546 in 1979. At present, all privately owned telecommunications carriers handling a major percentage of the country’s communication traffic for both telephone (voice) and data (record) are franchised by the government. They operate facilities, provide services, and charge rates under specific authorities granted by the NTC. The DOTC, through the TELOF, also operates telecommunications facilities and offers services. The TELOF principally provides telephone and telegraph services mainly in areas not served by private carriers. Republic Act (RA) 7925 classified telecommunications entities as local exchange operators, inter-exchange carriers, international carriers, value added service providers, mobile radio service operators, and radio paging service operators. One of the more important laws governing the telecommunications industry is the Municipal Telephone Act of 1989. Enacted into law in February 1990, RA 6849 provides for the installation, operation, and maintenance of public telephones in each municipality in the . Its enforcement gave rise to several public-calling offices (PCOs) in remote but populated municipalities of Luzon. Subsequently, the National Telecommunications Development Committee (NTDC), created in 1989, facilitated the resolution of immediate developmental, regulatory, and other issues on telecommunications. Members of the NTDC came from both the government and private sectors. In addition, the DOTC, with assistance from various sectors, formulated the National Telecommunications Development Plan (NTDP), nationalizing the telecommunications industry by providing high-level guidance regarding the government’s development targets and the general means of achieving them. Because of these laws and related changes, Philippine telecommunications was set into full swing in 1994. Competition and liberalization were recognized and set

NSO 2010 Philippine Yearbook the trend in industry operations. The DOTC continued to reformulate policies that mostly pursued democratization and deregulation or liberalization thrusts. Testament to the accelerating development of the Philippine telecommunications industry was the issuance of the International Satellite Communications Policy (Department Circular 94-277). The policy permitted direct access to international satellite systems, gaining more benefits for the public as a result of tighter competition among service providers and their competing technologies. In 1995, a law known as Public Telecommunications Act of the Philippines (RA 7925) was enacted. This law was the key in demonopolizing the industry by lifting legal and procedural impediments for investment. Moreover, the DOTC had also taken significant steps in planning and activation of the country’s own satellite, Aguila 1. The first satellite ever acquired by the country, Aguila 1 met domestic and international requirements and was acquired to cover the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit held in the country in November 1996. While this satellite was still in operation until March 1997, a consortium of investors had managed its launching and subsequent operations. The successor satellite, Aguila 2, was launched in Xichang, China, in August 1997. The US$243-million satellite was said to have a life span of 12-15 years and was built by the Space System-Lloral in the United States. Shouldering the hefty cost of maintenance was a consortium of telecommunications and broadcasting companies, known collectively as the Mabuhay Philippine Satellite Corporation. In its roster were broadcasting giants such as the PLDT, Pilipino Telephone Corporation, Republic Broadcasting System, and other industry stalwarts, such as Philippine Satellite Corporation, Cable International Corporation, Indonesia's PT Pasific Satelit Nusantara, and China's Everbright Group. With its own communications satellite in space, the country has become a potential base for multinational corporations in information technology, knowledge- based and broadcast industries. Among other advantages brought by satellite communications were the speedy transfer of data within the Asian region; accessibility of television programs and data to ordinary citizens at any given point within the satellite’s coverage area using a small satellite disc; advanced economic and social growth; and strengthened national security. To further reinforce the wireless communications network in the country, wireless multimedia messaging service was launched in 2001. The number of subscribed landlines or fixed line service suffered a slump in the recent years. The cellular phone service to some extent was put in place of local telephone service. Availing of internet services has also become rampant and has been preferred by most people as it offers cheaper messaging with global coverage. Eventually as many companies started providing internet services, the rates of local internet connections decreased. The year 2006 saw the start of a significant surge in the number of broadband subscribers. This continued through 2007 and 2008. In the early 2009, there were two broadband services for every 100 people in the country.

Challenges and Policy Directions of Philippine Telecommunications

Leading the government in expanding and deregulating the country’s telecommunications sector is the DOTC and its attached agencies, namely, the Office of the Undersecretary for Communications, Telecommunications Office, NTC, and the Philippine Postal Corporation. These communication groups function to give Filipinos full and affordable course to basic and other telecommunications services through a competent and coordinated telecommunications network in the country. The NTC endeavors to:

1. Establish better, pro-competitive interconnection standards for telecommuni- cation technologies. 2. Deregulate communications services that ensure fair rules of competition where consumers can choose the best combination of price, service and quality for their needs. 3. Protect consumers as the telecommunications industry moves towards a competitive marketplace and encourage wider entry. 4. Promote efficient use of the electromagnetic spectrum to develop products that consumers want, and 5. Catch up with world leaders in telecommunications in terms of regulation and reform by following standards set by advanced nations for promoting open and competitive markets.

Telecommunications Services and Facilities

Telephone services. Besides liberalized policies aimed at increasing private sector participation, policies were carried out to provide compulsory interconnection among carriers. These and the law on public telecommunications, RA 7925, are making the access to basic telephone service universal. For the law to be carried out, a service area scheme was built into the government's basic telephone program (BTP), which provides that cellular mobile telephone service operators install at least 400,000 telephone lines in five years upon implementation of law. Likewise, international gateway facilities operators were required 300,000 lines in three years to answer the underserved demand for basic telephone service. The law also intends to secure at least one phone line to an underserved or unserved rural area for every 10 lines in an urban area. In 2010, telephone lines serviced over 3.34 million subscribers, recording a national telephone density of 7.21 lines per 100 persons by the end of the same year. Exclusive of public calling offices, some 6.78 million telephones connected the country in 2010. The National Capital Region had the highest telephone density, registering at 26.41. (See Tables 20.2 and 20.3 for details.) Among the telephone operators in the country in 2010, PLDT and jointly had the highest installed capacity (3.32 million telephone lines) and the highest subscription (49%). Islacom-INNOVE, Digetel, and Bayantel followed with 21.5 percent, 8.7 percent, and 6.5 percent, respectively.

Cellular mobile telephone service (CMTS). A large proportion of the recent growth in mobiles also came from outside the main city of Manila. Two big operators, Globe and Smart, vigorously compete for lower income segments of the population by offering a range of cheap prepaid products. Digitel quietly built up its own subscriber base and grabbed a market share of 35.7 percent. Cellular phones' phenomenal growth resulted from DOTC's move allowing the entry of more players into the CMTS market. As of 2010, five telecom companies including new players were in operation nationwide, namely, Smart Communications, Incorporated (Smart); Globe Telecom (Globe); Express Telephone Company (Extelcom); Digital Telecommunications Philippines (Digitel) and Cure. Pilipino Telephone Company (Piltel) and Isla Communications Company (Islacom) had transferred its subscribers to Smart and Globe respectively. (See Table 20.4.) Smart with 44.68 million subscribers took the lead followed by Globe with 26.50 million subscribers. (Refer to Table 20.4.)

Data and record communication services. These are provided via two major services, as follows:

1. Domestic Record Services. These are provided by the government’s TELOF and by five private carriers, namely, PT&T; Radio Communications of the Philippines, Incorporated, (RCPI); Globe-Mackay Cable and Radio Communications (GMRC), Incorporated; Oceanic Wireless Network; and Universal Telecommunications Services, Incorporated.

2. International Record Services. These are provided by five international record carriers (IRCs): the Philippine Global Communications, Incorporated; Eastern Telecommunications Philippines, Incorporated; Globe-Mackay Cable and Radio Communications, Incorporated; Capitol Wireless, Incorporated; and PLDT. In addition to telex and telegraph, other international data and record services include telegram and mailgram, data circuits, facsimile or bureaufax, press bulletin service, datel, satellite television broadcast, electronic mail, data access, and other packet-switched data communication services.

Public trunk radio service. In the early eighties, Liberty Broadcasting Network was authorized to operate a public shared repeater network in and adjoining provinces. In 1991, another operator, T.N. Romasanta, Incorporated, was authorized to cover . Since then, ten companies have offered public trunk radio service. Trunk radio service rates fare much lower than CMTS rates. Despite comparatively cheaper rates, trunk radio's growth as a communication service drags than the mobile phone's growth partly because portable and mobile radio terminal units are more expensive. The top three operators namely, Nextel Communications, Contel Communications Incorporated, and Worldwide Communications, cornered about 86.8 percent of trunk radio subscribers in 2007. (See Table 20.5.)

Communications

Communication satellites. Membership in the International Telecommunications Satellite (INTELSAT) in 1968 paved the way for the use of communication satellites in the Philippines. The country, by belonging to the INTELSAT, signed into a worldwide partnership of nations whose aim was to set up a global satellite communications system. In particular, communication satellites transmit and reflect radio waves and TV signals from the earth and back over long distances. The first communications satellite, INTELSAT 1 or “Early Bird,” was put in operation in June 1965 over the Atlantic Ocean. High capacity and multiple-access satellites provide full-time telephone, telex, data facsimile, and TV services to more than 180 countries, territories, and positions. Some 18 industry players operate satellite service in the country. These are AZ Communications Network, Inc.; Bayan Telecommunications, Inc.; Bell Telecommunications, Inc.; Capitol Wireless Telecommunications; Domestic Wireless Telecommunications; Digital Telecommunications Phils., Inc.; Eastern Telecommunications Philippines, Inc.; GMCR Incorporated; Isla Communications Corporation; Liberty Broadcasting Network, Inc.; Millenia Broadband Communications, Inc.; Multimedia Telephony, Inc.; Philippine Communications Satellite Corporation; Philippine Global Communications, Inc.; Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co., Inc.; Smart Communications, Inc.; Transpacific Broadcast Group, Inc.; and Textron Corporation.

Radio and

The NTC reported that AM and FM stations in the country reached 393 and 781 stations, respectively in 2010. registered the most number of AM radio stations in 2010, managing 37 stations. Central Luzon lorded over FM radio among regions, with 109 radio stations. (See Table 20.9.) On the other hand, 352 stations comprised Philippine television (TV) in 2010. /, Western Visayas, Bicol and operated the most number of TV stations with 39, 37, 35, 35, respectively. ARMM, meanwhile, had the least number of TV stations with only six. Metro Manila with a total of 23 TV stations, however, remained as the site for the 10 major TV networks, whose programs are relayed to the entire country. These networks include ABS-CBN, National Broadcasting Network, Associated Broadcasting Corporation, Global Media Arts Network, Radio Philippines Network, ZOE Broadcasting Network, Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation, Southern Broadcasting Network, Rajah Broadcasting Network, and Network.

Cable Television

Cable television evolved from the Community Antenna Television (CATV), a central or master antenna used by a community to receive signals from distant areas. A notch higher in function, cable TV applies the same CATV technology to enable more TV programming instead of its common use of merely improving signal reception. The first CATV in Asia was established in 1969 in City. The CATV service has become more popular throughout the country, supplying much-needed educational and informational data in far-flung areas of the

NSO 2010 Philippine Yearbook country. Implementing rules and regulations (IRR) issued in 1995 ruled that basic CATV service shall remain to be governed by EO 205 and shall not be required to file for congressional franchises. Its growth undisturbed, CATV networks in 2010 grew to 988, operating mostly in (207 CATV networks.) (Refer to Table 20.9.) The NTC consulted the cable industry to draw up guidelines on program provisioning to resolve sudden pullout of programs by cable networks from cable service providers. Efforts are also directed to address such issues as cable piracy through coordination with the Intellectual Property Office.

Internet Access

Deregulation of public telecommunications in 1995 spurred overwhelming improvement in computer services. If in 1994, there was only one Internet Service Provider (ISP) networking the country, the years that followed experienced bustling growth. In 2010, ISPs reached 304, about 1.7 percent more than the 241 ISPs registered in 2009. This figure translated to a subscriber base of 4.3 million. (Refer to Table 20.6.)

2009 Survey on Information and Communication Technology (SICT)

The 2009 Survey on Information and Communication Technology (SICT) is the third of the series undertaken by the National Statistics Office (NSO), the first ever ICT survey was the 2002 SICT, with 2001 as the reference period. The second is the 2008 SICT of Philippine Business and Industry. The 2009 SICT aimed at assessing the use of ICT resources by establishments and the available infrastructure; determining how establishments use the internet, including the activities for which it is used; determining Web presence in establishments; determining the revenue generated through e-commerce transactions, and through cellular mobile phones; and determining the methods of disposal of ICT equipment.

Coverage of the 2009 SICT. The 2009 SICT covered establishments classified as: 1) those in the core ICT sectors or those belonging to the Information Economy (IE), and 2) non-core ICT industries. IE is a term used to describe the economic and social value created through the ability to rapidly exchange information at anytime, anywhere to anyone. It is characterized by the intensive use by businesses of ICT for the collection, storage, processing and transmission of information. The use of ICT is supported by supply of ICT products from an ICT-producing sector and through trade. IE is comprised of the ICT sector and the Content and Media sector. Industries under the ICT sector are ICT Manufacturing, ICT Trade and ICT Service Industries. Content and Media sector, on the other hand, are those which produce goods and services primarily intended to inform, educate and/or entertain humans through mass communication media. These industries are publishing activities, motion

Communications

picture, video and television programme production, sound recording, and music publishing activities. The 2009 SICT covered a total of 149,385 establishments in the country in 2009. Four out of every 10 establishments belong to Wholesale and Retail Trade industry major division. Registering the least number of establishments was Mining and quarrying with 100 establishments.

Access and availability of ICT resources. More than three-fourths of surveyed establishments used computers and other hardware for business operations. All establishments engaged in Electricity, Gas and Water industry used computers, the highest among industry major divisions. Financial Intermediation (99.9%) and Real Estate, Renting and Business Activities (94.1%) followed respectively. The most minimal use of computers was observed in Fishing establishments (36.9%). Establishments with internet access stood at 58.3 percent with Real Estate, Renting and Business Activities registering the highest percentage (86.4%) among industry major divisions. Fishing had the lowest percentage of access to the internet (24.4%). At the national level, about 34.2 percent of the total employees routinely use computers at work. Highest percentages were recorded by establishments engaged in Financial Intermediation (81.3%). Education at 56.0 percent was far second followed by Real Estate, Renting and Business Activities (48.5%). Agriculture, Hunting and Forestry had the least percentages of those using computers routinely at work at 9.0 percent.. Percentage of employees using computers with internet connection stood at 22.0 percent. Real Estate, Renting and Business Activities recorded the highest percentage (44.2%) while Fishing registered the least (4.7%).

E-commerce transaction. Only 12.5 percent of the total number of establishments had business transactions over the internet in 2009. Transactions include receiving order for goods and services, purchasing goods and services, or both receiving and purchasing goods and services. Almost seven percent of the establishments surveyed purchased goods and services while 2.3 percent of the total establishments received orders using the internet. About 3.4 percent of the establishments both received and purchased goods and services. Among industry major divisions, Construction had the highest percentages of establishments transacting e-commerce via internet (29.5%). Mining and Quarrying followed at 29.0 percent. Electricity, Gas and Water, however, did not have any E- commerce transactions. Meanwhile, about 3.6 percent of the establishments had business transactions over computer networks other than the internet. Among industry major divisions, Manufacturing recorded the highest percentage at 11.2 percent. Cellular mobile phones have also been an effective tool used by various establishments in transacting business. About 21.5 percent of the total number of establishments in 2009 used cellular mobile phones in their transactions. Construction had the highest percentage of 39.6 percent while Education registered the least at 0.3 percent.

NSO 2010 Philippine Yearbook

A total of PhP172.95 billion was earned by establishments through e- commerce transactions via the internet. Manufacturing contributed the highest revenue amounting to PhP91.92 billion. For e-commerce transactions via computer networks other than the internet, the total revenue amounted to PhP64.97 billion, some PhP42.03 billion of which was contributed by manufacturing establishments. On the other hand, total earnings from business transactions using cellular mobile phones amounted to PhP144.71 billion, of which PhP75.12 billion came from manufacturing establishments.

Website presence. Website presence among establishments was posted at 13.7 percent. Mining and Quarrying had the most number of establishments with a website (30.0%) followed by Transportation, Storage and Communication (28.9%). Agriculture, Hunting and Forestry (3.4%) and Fishing (2.8%) recorded the lowest percentages among industry major divisions.

Local Area Network. Among other computer networks, the LAN was the most used in 2009 with 30.8 percent of the establishments having this type of network. Intranet followed at 9.4 percent and wide area network (WAN) at 7.4 percent. Extranet was the least preferred network (1.4%).

20.2 Postal Services

Although the country had been introduced to the mailing system centuries ago, the first regular post office in the country opened only on July 30, 1898. Afloat a ship docked in Manila Bay, this transient post office was merely one of so many branches of the San Francisco Post Office in California, USA, under the US Post Office Department's supervision. Barely four months after the first regular post office was created, General Emilio Aguinaldo executed an all-Filipino postal service comprising five provinces in Luzon under his control. A full-fledged organization, the Bureau of Posts was created on September 15, 1902, by Commonwealth Act 462 of the Philippine Commission. The Bureau, from 1987 to 1992, had gone by the name Postal Services Office after EO 125 was issued in January 1987. Major restructuring altered postal operation for the better when the government implemented the Postal Services Act of 1992 or RA 7354. The Act, beginning April 3 that year, converted the Postal Services Office into a government corporation, the Philippine Postal Corporation (Philpost), and gave the agency the needed fiscal autonomy and management flexibility to allow its service to be more responsive to the fast-changing needs of the postal market. Mail services offered by Philpost include registered mail (local and foreign), speed airmail service (domestic airmail points only), collect on delivery (COD), parcel post service (local and foreign), insured mail service, domestic air parcel service, money order service (domestic and international), international express mail service, philatelic service, bulk presorted mail service, post office lock boxes, business postal cards or reply cards, supermail, postgram, and insured parcel post (for Australia, Switzerland, and US possessions only).

Communications

As a result of the popularity of electronic mail and facsimile transmission, the total volume of mail handled in 2010 (368 million) dropped by 4.9 percent from 414 million in 2009. By region, NCR accounted for the bulk of posted and delivered mails in 2010 at volumes that reached 97 million and 86.7 million, respectively. Region 12 had the least posted mail volume at 758 thousand, and the least delivered mail volume at 1.2 million. (Table 20.11) From 1,989 in 2009, post offices in the country decreased to 1,946 in 2010. Of the total number of post offices, Southern Tagalog had the most number with 239 offices, followed by Northern Mindanao with 177, with 165, Central Luzon with 155, and Ilocos with 154 post offices. Central Mindanao had the least number of postal centers with only 86 offices. (See Table 20.12.)

20.3 The Print Media

Data of the Philippine Information Agency indicate that in 2011, there were 10 broadsheets, 24 tabloids, and 54 magazines distributed nationwide. The dominated the list of newspapers in the country having the widest daily circulation at 348,492. The Philippine Inquirer was second with 270,073 while was third with 262,285 daily circulation. Tabloids had a combined circulation of 5.60 million copies daily. Bulgar led the pack with a daily circulation of 600,000. Pilipino Star Ngayon followed with 502,083 while People’s Journal had 485,453 copies circulated daily. Among the magazines, Style Weekend and Panorama, which are circulated weekly, had the highest circulation at 415,639. However, most of the magazines were circulated monthly. (See Tables 20.13 and 20.15 for details.)

20.4 The Film Media

Classified under film media are projected media, such as movies or motion pictures, documentary films, and slides. They serve as effective means of communicating ideas, concepts, and instructions; disseminating information; and promoting products and issues, thus, making them indispensable tools for industry. Overseeing the local film industry is the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB). It is the government body that regulates the production and dissemination of movies and television programs, including advertising materials, to determine the different levels of audience stability and appreciation. Yet another government entity assisting the film industry is the Videogram Regulatory Board (VRB). The boom in video production and piracy in 1980s propelled the government to create such an entity that will regulate and enhance the video industry as a wholesome medium of entertainment for the public. Being an administrative agency, the VRB is vested with powers to support its regulatory functions, as follows:

1. Power of rule making, or the power to promulgate rules and regulations

NSO 2010 Philippine Yearbook

2. Power of adjudication, or the power to hear, and determine or ascertain facts; and, 3. Determinative power, which is similar to quasi-judicial power.

20.5 Advertising

Advertising is an integral part of the communications sector. It pervades all known communication media, such as radio, television, movies, and the print media, in the interest of promoting commercial business. Reciprocally, mass media depend on advertising for sizeable percentage of their operating expenses. In recent years, advertising appeared in novel forms using vidiwall, a large screen medium that uses advance professional electronic system; transit advertising; movie link, inroom movie entertainment in selected hotel establishments; cable TV; and storecasting, which uses piped-in music facilities to reach shoppers in major supermarkets and department stores. The Association of Accredited Advertising Agencies-Philippines (4As-P) listed 69 members. The 4As-P aims to upgrade the practice of advertising; to promote the welfare of the association as a whole and its members/ agencies individually; to enhance the working relationship between advertising agencies as well as other sectors of the advertising industry.
