Internet access no longer a privilege but a necessity — Marcos
Marcos said this during the grand launch of the National Fiber Backbone Phases 2 and 3 in Leyte province.
''Dahil sa panahon ngayon, hindi na privilege ang pagkakaroon ng access sa mabilis na internet, ito ay pangangailangan na. Kailangan ito sa pagaaral, sa trabaho, sa negosyo at para mapanatili ang koneksyon sa mga mahal sa buhay," Marcos said in his speech.
(At this time, having a fast internet access is not a privilege but a necessity. This is needed in studies, work, business and in maintaining connections with our loved ones.)
Last month, the President vowed to provide efficient internet connectivity among schools across the country, particularly those situated in far-flung and isolated areas.
The National Fiber Backbone (NFB) project seeks to create a robust and secure fiber optic network spanning the entire country.
Serving as backbone for enhance internet connectivity, it is aiming for a faster, more reliable, and fully digitalized services for all Filipinos.
The Department of Information and Communications Technology is ready to significantly expand NFB's reach from Northern Luzon to several parts of Visayas and Mindanao through NFB Phases 2 and 3. — Anna Felicia Bajo/RSJ, GMA Integrated News

Solons seek probe into high NAIA fees a year after privatization
Opposition lawmakers on Monday called for an investigation into the privatization of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), pointing out that the increased rates in airport services have become exorbitant in the aftermath of the takeover by the San Miguel Corporation (SMC)-led New NAIA Infra Corp. Party-list Reps. Antonio Tinio of ACT Teachers and Renee Co of Kabataan made the call under their House Resolution 29, saying public services should not be made into a cash cow by private businesses. 'We are here to raise the alarm on privatization in what is supposed to be the gateway to our country. NAIA is the fifth busiest airport in Southeast Asia, and our intensified labor export policy has resulted in 7,000 Filipinos a day leaving to work abroad. Pero ang estado ng NAIA ngayon? Napakamahal ng operation nito. At sa mamamayang Pilipino ang pagpasan ng pagbabayad nito,' Co, a lawyer, told reporters after filing the resolution. (How much would you spend to use NAIA now? It is very expensive, and the burden is on the Filipino people.) Co cited that terminal fees will increase from P550 to P950, and even concessionaires or businesses that operate in NAIA now have to spend P3,200 per square meter for rental fees from P700 pesos per square meter. The parking fee, meanwhile, increased from P300 to P1,200 for 24 hours. 'Ganito na kamahal ang NAIA. Pero kung titignan natin, ang airports, bilang daluyan sila ng mga tao, ng mga kagamitan, vital for defense, for security, for economic development. Dapat, ang may hawak niyan, gobyerno. Hindi ito dapat ginagamit para patuloy na magkaltas ng kita sa mga mamamayang dumaraan dito,' Co said. (This is how expensive NAIA is. Come to think of it, airports provide access to people, equipment, all vital for defense, security, economic development. It should be the government who is in control of that. The airport should not be used as a way to reduce the income of people who use the airport.) 'Ang right to travel, hindi dapat 'yan mahal,' Co added. (The right to travel should not be expensive.) Tinio, for his part, said that the country has a long history of privatizing government services such as electricity and water, which did not necessarily result in high quality amenities. 'Just look at PrimeWater. Instead of water being more affordable, the rates even increased. This is what is happening to NAIA now. These increases in concessionaires, terminal will be charged to the airfare in the long run. As it is, we are already the third most expensive airport in Southeast Asia, and we don't see a corresponding quality of service with these increases,' Tinio said. 'That is why we really need an investigation here,' he added. GMA News Online has reached out to SMC for comment and will publish it as soon as it is made available.

DFA counters China: Youth must stay alert vs. misinformation
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has underscored the importance of vigilance and critical thinking among Filipino youth, responding to China's recent call to focus on dialogue and friendship amid ongoing tensions in the West Philippine Sea. During the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Philippines-China diplomatic ties, Chinese Minister Councilor Wang Yulei, speaking on behalf of Ambassador Huang Xilian, encouraged young Filipinos to become ambassadors of peace between the two nations. 'To view bilateral relations objectively and rationally, and to become messengers of friendship between our two countries,' Wang said in a speech organized by the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce & Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII). He further urged the youth 'to overcome misinformation and prejudice, to see the real China.' However, the Chinese Embassy did not specify what forms of 'misinformation' it was referring to. The DFA, in its response, highlighted that critical awareness must come first. 'The youth should be vigilant, focused, and develop a sharp mind and discernment of events to fight against all forms of misinformation. The DFA will continue to work with partners to strengthen resilience among our youth,' the agency said. The department also noted that 'everyone is agreed on the value of dialogue and diplomacy. These points are not new, and this is what Filipinos have been advocating for years.' Tensions between the two countries persist, particularly over competing claims in the South China Sea. Despite a 2016 arbitral ruling favoring the Philippines and invalidating China's expansive 'ten-dash line' claims, Beijing has continued building structures on artificial islands, including Mischief Reef. In recent weeks, the Philippine government condemned the Chinese Coast Guard's use of water cannons against a Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) vessel operating within the West Philippine Sea—part of the country's exclusive economic zone. The Chinese Embassy's youth-centered messaging was also promoted through a social media contest aimed at engaging young Filipinos. But as diplomatic rhetoric heightens, the DFA is making it clear that discernment—not just optimism—must guide the next generation's view of regional affairs. — BM, GMA Integrated News

Marcos pushing for accountability, transparency in gov't — Palace
President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. is pushing for accountability and transparency in the government, Malacañang ensured Monday. At a press briefing, Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro was asked about the call of Senate President Francis Escudero, compelling public officials to waive their bank secrecy rights. She was asked if the President would support Escudero's call. ''Ang Pangulo po ay sang-ayon po at dapat lamang po nating ipatupad itong accountability and transparency sa gobyerno. So, hindi po tayo magkakaroon ng negatibong sagot mula sa Pangulo,'' Castro said. (The President is in favor and we should enforce accountability and transparency in the government. So, we will not have a negative response from the President.) Escudero has renewed his call for transparency and accountability in government as he proposed a measure, mandating all public officials and employees to waive their rights under Republic Act No. 1405, or the Law on the Secrecy of Bank Deposits, and Republic Act No. 6426, or the Foreign Currency Deposit Act. The bill states that all government personnel—except those serving in an honorary capacity—will be required to submit a written waiver authorizing the Office of the Ombudsman to examine all their deposits and investments, including foreign currency accounts, in a fresh bid to reinforce anti-corruption efforts and bolster public trust in government institutions. 'This bill has languished for too long,' Escudero said in a separate statement. 'I'm hopeful that this time, we can turn the rhetoric of transparency into actionable policy.' — Anna Felicia Bajo/RSJ, GMA Integrated News
