US ban on Huawei to have little impact on Philippine telcos — DICTMANILA, Philippines — The US government's moves against Chinese telecom giant Huawei would have little effect on the Philippine telecommunications industry, the Department of Information and Communications Technology said. "With the executive order, US companies are prevented from supplying Huawei with software and hardware components," the DICT said in a statement. While it may affect the supply chain of Huawei, Trump's order would have little impact on the Philippines. According to the DICT, local telcos have not reported any incident of a national security breach from their Huawei equipment. The agency said it will continue to require local telcos to monitor their networks using world-class cybersecurity audit teams.
