PHLike "end of drug problems" in 3 to 6 months,
"endo of ENDO"
"salary of soldiers and police doubled"
"creation of FOI"
"salary of teachers doubled"

Even the name of a 3rd Telco cannot be given at that date... amybe by may, at the earliest... but before a new Telco can compete with Globe and Smart it will take at least 5 years!!

"Completing the technical, legal, and corporate requirements of putting up a full-service telco – offering voice, SMS, and data – operating nationwide will take years," Mirandilla-Santos told Rappler in an e-mail.
