DITO Telecommunity Officially Launches in Visayas and Mindanao (3/8/21)


In an unprecedented leap, DITO Telecommunity, the country’s third major player in the telecommunications industry, heralded its entrance into the market by announcing that it would be offering free call and text as well as broadband connectivity to 3000 front liners in ten areas in Visayas and Mindanao with the support of the local government units as a way of reinforcing its pledge of nation-building and alliance with the Filipino people.

This declaration, capped by a symbolic turn-over to Davao City Mayor Sarah Duterte Carpio and Davao City Vice Mayor Sebastian Duterte as 300 front liners of the City were named as the first beneficiaries out of the 3,000 targeted front liners, became the highlight of the commercial launch virtual press conference held last March 8, 2021.

The momentous and basic ceremony was participated in by main DITO executives Dennis A. Uy, Chairman and CEO, Retired Major General Rodolfo Santiago, Chief Technology Officer, and Atty. Adel Tamano, Chief Administrative Officer, with special messages from Secretary Gregorio Honasan II of the Department of Information and Communications Technology and Commissioner Gamaliel Cordoba of the National Telecommunications Commission.

An insurmountable mission.

In his opening statement DITO Chief Technical Officer, Retired Major General Rodolfo Santiago recalled how at the beginning, opponents of the project said that developing a network in more than a year was a fool’s errand, that it was bound to fail, that it clearly could not be achieved, particularly when the global pandemic struck at a critical juncture in the network roll-out.

However, only a few weeks before the commercial launch, DITO’s services well surpassed the first government-mandated audit's mandatory thresholds. In addition, the audit results revealed that DITO demonstrated an average speed of 85.9 Mbps for 4G and 507.5 Mbps for 5G with a population penetration of more than 37 percent, significant indicators that point to the brand’s readiness to meet its mission of delivering world-class connectivity to any Filipino.

Not resting on this success, the DITO CTO emphasized, “As we begin our commercial launch, all I can say is that there is more work to be done and together, we will succeed and make a difference in transforming the landscape of Philippine telecommunications.”

Public and private cooperation: a victory of the Filipino nation.

Messages from the two major regulating bodies acknowledged the spirit of cooperation that DITO has exhibited to become a genuine partner in nation-building and give the Filipino people greater access to communications technologies.

DICT Secretary Gregorio Honasan II echoed the importance of making the telecommunications industry to be at parity with the rest of the world in terms of technology and how the entry of DITO through open and equitable bidding has sparked an increase in investments and infrastructure expenditure in the telecom sector that in the long run would help the entire country.

NTC Commissioner Gamaliel Cordoba further stressed that the successful launch of DITO is an example of how cooperation, and strong engagement of government and private companies, would be crucial to bringing about true recovery headed by advancements in the field of communications and connectivity and that for him is a victory of the Filipino people.

Nation-building is the real inspiration of the country’s third major player.

In his sentence, Atty. Adel Tamano, DITO Chief Administrative Director, one of DITO's founders, recounted how it all started.

“DITO was born out of a spirit of nation-building.”

Atty Tamano said that the reason for a third telco was to represent the underserved and provide Filipinos with a better alternative, a wiser choice. He further recalled that our national leaders claimed that the Philippines would never achieve its maximum potential without the right ICT facilities without true competition.

“This is the genesis of this project, the origins of why DITO was born. This our why and DITO’s DNA.”

He finished by saying, “We are here to serve our consumers, to provide world-class telecommunications services to Filipinos, in short, to do whatever it takes, whatever “diskarte” that we need to do, to deliver our promise of weaving Filipino communities together with stronger and better connectivity.

And the Chief Administrative Officer tied it all in as to the primary explanation why instead of a major launch, DITO’s first commercial act shows the dedication of DITO to develop the country – a provision of free service to 3,000 Filipino front liners.

DITO na tayo.

“In the following weeks, you will see us rise in various areas of the country. But today, March 8, we first send back to when it all began.”

In this nostalgic and strong remark, Mr. Dennis A. Uy, the Chairman and CEO of DITO, was able to address the questions in the minds of people as to why VisMin, and when DITO services will hit Luzon and the National Capital Area in place of the telco’s national network roll-out.

To close the ceremony, the Chairman and CEO had this to say referring to this unprecedented start of paying it forward, “With this gesture, as a partner in nation-building, we send the message to the people of the Philippines wherever they may be that DITO is more than just a telco. We are here to serve, and, in this way, we want the whole country to know na “DITO NA KAMI, DITO NA TAYO, and magkita-kita tayo diyan very soon.”
