00:00We will talk about the investigation on the use of the Emergency Cell Broadcast System for campaigning.

00:05Some of the candidates in the middle, we will have the officer-in-charge of the Industry Planning and Management Branch

00:12of the National Telecommunications Commission, Engineer Mary Colleen Cas.

00:16Good morning to you, ma'am.

00:18Good morning, ma'am. Good morning to everyone who is watching your program.

00:24Engineer, have you found out where the emergency alert came from?

00:31Actually, ma'am, we haven't found out yet.

00:35But currently, we have an enforcement team in Masbating that is conducting an investigation

00:41regarding the messages received through the emergency broadcast.

00:46Before, it was only sent through SMS.

00:49But now, it's sent through the emergency alert.

00:52How did this happen?

00:54What technology is used in this system?

00:59Actually, ma'am, it's still the same broadcaster, I mean, machine or device that they used.

01:09This is what we call SMS broadcaster or SMS text blasting machine.

01:15There is a text blasting machine feature that is called flash message.

01:22That flash message, when you send a message, it's like a cell broadcast.

01:30It just flashes on the screen.

01:33So, the SMS broadcaster or SMS blaster also has a capability for that.

01:40Will this kind of work, Engineer, be stopped?

01:44How can we ensure that this kind of work will not be used anymore?

01:52Actually, ma'am, this SMS blaster is just a portable device.

01:57It's small.

01:58You can put it in your backpack.

02:01Then, you can go around and text blast.

02:04So, what the government is doing, like NTC,

02:10our enforcement is still continuous on prohibited devices.

02:14Okay.

02:15We are also working with PNP.

02:19PNP already conducted several operations with regard to SMS blasters.

02:29NTC is also part of that.

02:32Aside from that, we are also collaborating with DTI.

02:38We are also working with marketplaces or our e-commerce platforms

02:43to take down sellers who sell prohibited devices.

02:48And of course, the media, public awareness,

02:52just like what we are doing now, media engagement,

02:56as much as possible, we are doing this to give advice to the public.

03:03Yes, so they will know that it is prohibited to use this.

03:06Okay, thank you very much,

03:07Engineer Mary Colleen Cass of the National Telecommunications Commission.

03:11Good morning to all of you.

03:13Thank you very much.
