Marcos met with the executives from the Singapore-based digital firm on Tuesday and discussed how Kacific’s satellites have already helped the country’s connectivity, but it could still be improved so that the Philippines could catch up with other countries.“It’s just an improvement on what we have now. Make it more permanent. But this is not, this is on [the] long term. We have to keep up.
Information and Communications Technology Secretary Ivan Uy and Science and Technology Secretary Renato Solidum were directed by the President to continue the talks with Kacific on the specific terms the company could enhance the country’s digital connectivity.
