Internet SLang

I've seen a lot of new words and terms in the internet this year (including SMS and other forms of digital communication), and really, I had to Google most of the internet slang or I had to have someone explain it to me. The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has released the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) for the Konektadong Pinoy (KP) Act, a move expected to make internet services cheaper, faster, and more accessible nationwide.

The new rules aim to simplify permits, speed up registration, and encourage more competition among internet providers, including foreign companies already planning to enter the Philippine market. Currently, basic internet plans cost ₱480 to ₱1,300, while premium packages can reach ₱10,000.
