Senator Alan Peter Cayetano took a significant step in bolstering the country’s digital infrastructure and enhancing connectivity for all Filipinos after the Konektadong Pinoy Act was formally filed in the Senate as a committee report on Wednesday.

Senate Bill Number 2699, submitted jointly with the Committees on Public Services and Finance, on May 22, 2024, seeks to overhaul the nation’s outdated telecommunications regulatory framework and align it with the requirements of the digital age.

Cayetano, who chairs the Senate Committee on Science and Technology, believes that by modernizing the country’s telecommunications landscape, the bill will address the barriers in connectivity like the longstanding issues on affordability, speed, and accessibility.

“We can no longer afford to be in the dark ages when it comes to the Internet and its accessibility to each and every Filipino,” he said.
