Not everyday you meet someone who has vast knowledge about the history and current condition of the cable and WIFI status technology in the country. Like are you happy that the Philippines does not yet enjoy FREE WiFi unlike some of the neighboring countries that have gone ahead of the RP situation. 
The Federation of International Cable TV and Telecommunications Association of the Philippines or FICTAP eyes a seat in the congress to push their program of having fast internet connection and free WiFi connection to all Filipinos. Free internet for everyone to equip knowledge in a single click of a finger. They are also pushing the rights concerning the issues in internet, ICT, VAS, Telecommunications, Cable TV, Broadcast and Media.
