The House of Representatives has recently approved the operations of the third major telco in the country, DITO Telecommunity Corp, under a 25-year legislative franchise renewal.
DITO has garnered 240 affirmative votes against seven negative votes on the third and final reading of House Bill 7332 which grants the company’s application to a 25-year legislative franchise “to construct, install, establish, operate, and maintain wired and/or wireless telecommunications systems”. Authored by Valenzuela Rep. Wesley Gatchalian, the House Bill 7332 is a renewal of the legislative franchise of Mindanao Islamic Telephone Company (MISLATEL), the previous name of DITO.
Under the bill, DITO is prohibited to lease, transfer, sell or assign the franchise, rights, or privileges or its controlling interest without the approval of Congress. It should also “conform to the ethics of honest enterprise, operate its stations in a satisfactory manner at all times, and to extend its services in compliance with the Free Mobile Disaster Alerts Act”. The 25 year-extension will start after the expiration of its previous franchise in 2023.
DITO Telecommunity Corp is a telecom consortium of Udenna Corp owned by Davao City businessman Dennis Uy. Its subsidiaries are Chelsea Logistics and Infrastructure Holdings Corp. and China Telecom.
DITO has been awarded by President Rodrigo Duterte the permit to operate as the Philippines’ third telco provider on July 8, 2019.

VERIFY LANG NAMIN MAM/SIR KUNG LEGIT ITONG NAGPUNTA DITO SA AMIN NA BRLL ELECTRONICS AND NETWORK SOLUTIONS DITO PO ITO SA UMINGAN, PANGASINAN DIRECTOR LEVY NISPEROS PARALEGAL CONSULTANT CP NO. 095197*****
May nagpunta sa amin na naghahanap daw ng cellsite para sa DITO. May mga contract binigay na sinasabing representative sila ng BRLL Electornics. I have very strong suspicion na scam ito kasi from what I have read, dito sa NOrthern and CEntral LUzon, Huawei daw ang lead sa paghahanap ng cellsite na predetermined na daw. In additon, sa news, hindi daw magbibigay ng lumpsup and Dito, max na ang 3 months advance.
May authority ba ang BRLL Electronics Network Solutions na maghanap ng lugar at matatayuan at mag assist ng lot owners para sa celsite ng DITO?
Na confirm nyopiba na qualified si brll para sa paghahanap ng location para kay DITO
