For Senator Panfilo Lacson, the impending entry of China Telecom in the Philippines is a “choice between duopoly and national security.”Lacson, who once served as police chief during the time of former president and Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada, took to social media on Wednesday to slam the telecom company’s entry in the country. “China Telecom: the heck of a choice between duopoly and national security. One is doom; the other, doomier,” the senator wrote on Twitter. Lacson’s remark came just a day after presidential spokesperson Harry Roque announced that President Rodrigo Duterte wanted China Telecom to start operating in the Philippines by first quarter of 2018. /jeREAD: Duterte wants telco duopoly broken by March
