Yes, the rates imposed by local telcos, both Globe and Smart, could be a bit expensive for the middle to low-income families.
DITO's proposed rates are about P1,000 lower than our local telcos. What they DON'T UNDERSTAND is that we, Filipinos, are no longer naive. Here's why.
Why would China not want to earn from our profitable telco industry? Why would they bankroll the Dennis Uy project even if they were going to charge it cheaply anyway?
Simple, China's hegemonic agenda. Since data is the new oil, they will get more than the money we'll pay for.
China Telecom, China's state-run telco industry, invested in the Philippines through the corrupt Dennis Uy. Uy is a Duterte crony with an undeniable subservience to the Chinese.
The perfect subject. DITO is the instrument.
China is fine with a very low price to run the telco system. Why? Because this means that they can easily steal information from their consumers in broad daylight.
Would Dennis Uy oppose it? Hell no. He'll be earning money from China too anyway.
If you're interested in the evidence, you can look for charges hurled against China telecom for stealing sensitive military information from the US and personal data from Taiwan.
These are countries that they want to subsume under their hegemony. Does that include us? Yes.
If a lot of people gravitate towards DITO because of its cheap internet fees, you must understand that you are exposing your PRIVACY for China's surveillance.
And think about it. If you support the Chinese-backed telco, you'll be directly supporting their malicious operations.
While the financial cost of subscribing to their service is low, the political cost is huge. And it means giving up our expectations of privacy and liberty.
With every information they have, they can meddle with out politics without us even knowing. That's scary.
So the next time someone tries to convince you to subscribe to DITO the moment they roll-out, remember this. You are not only discouraging the development of our local telcos, you are also disparaging the country by supporting its biggest surveillance project.
