During a conversation with Shinzo Abe, the current Prime Minister of Japan, President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III mentioned that our country will soon be migrating to ISDB-T (Integrated Service Digital Broadcasting – Terrestrial) signal from the current analog setup. Before the decision was made, NTC has already zeroed in on two possible candidates; the ISDB-T and Digital Video Broadcasting – Terrestrial 2 (DVB-T2) from Europe. Although the decision puts the long-delayed transition to digital broadcast one step closer to reality, NTC commissioner Gamaliel Cordoba claims that it will take five more years for the transition to be finished. He also said the move shows how cooperation between government agencies and technology companies can help address digital safety concerns. The CICC said it will continue working with digital platforms and government agencies to strengthen online child safety and reduce access to content considered harmful to minors.
