Three major business groups have backed a multi-stakeholder petition for the Senate to fast-track approval of the Open Access bill, and for the Philippine President to include it as a priority legislation in his next State of the Nation Address.
The Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP), Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), and Philippine Exporters Confederation (PHILEXPORT) were among the ten organizations to sign a joint statement declaring “full support for the immediate enactment of the proposed Open Access in Internet Services Act” or OAIS Act.
