The Easy Speedboost is a way to make our fastest internet speeds more accessible and affordable to our customers as we enable them to do things better in their work, study, and entertainment activities at home,” said Patrick Tang, First Vice President and Head of PLDT Home Customer Management. The government will allow up to 100% foreign ownership in the internet business in the Philippines once President Rodrigo Duterte signs the proposed 11th Foreign Investment Negative List (FINL). In a report by Inquirer.net, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), and Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia said that the proposed 11th FINL will "exclude internet business from mass media." Under the FINL, foreign equity is not allowed for mass media. Excluding the internet business from that category will remove restrictions and allow foreign ownership. 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.
