In his first State of the Nation Address (SONA), President Rodrigo Duterte has said that it has ordered the newly-created Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to develop a National Broadband Plan to improve the state of the internet in the Philippines. In his speech, President Duterte ordered DICT to develop a National Broadband Plan to accelerate the deployment of fiber optic cables and wireless technologies to improve internet speed in the Philippines. Back in July 2015, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) rolled out its "Free Wi-Fi Internet Access in Public Places" project. Pasig Mega Market now has satellite-powered internet to support cashless payments under the Paleng-QR Ph Plus program of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and the Department of Information and Communications Technology.
