Meanwhile, the Philippine Competition Commission said that Jack Ma’s comment should serve as a wake-up call for telco companies to improve their services as promised. “Jack Ma just experienced what we Filipinos have been suffering from all this time. This serves as a call on the telco companies to deliver on their promise a year after they have acquired the frequencies,” PCC Chairman Arsenio Balisacan said in a statement. The two main telco companies in the country, PLDT and Globe, received access to the 700-megahertz spectrum after both companies acquired the telecommunications assets of San Miguel Corp. in 2016.
