众议院已三读通过第10388号法案,即《住房发展数字连接法》,该法案规定在住宅区或村庄内必须划出区域用于建设信息通信技术(ICT)基础设施。

根据该法案,所有住房项目、住宅区、村庄或其他住宅房地产(包括社会化和经济适用房)须在其指定的开放空间内划出区域,用于建立信息和通信技术基础设施及相关设施。

《总统令》(PD)第957号第31条(此前已由PD 1216修订),规定 subdivision 开发商须预留开放空间用于公园、游乐场及休闲用途,现经该法案进一步修订,将信息通信技术(ICT)基础设施纳入其中。为 ICT 基础设施所划定的区域应由业主或开发商捐赠给市或市政府,地方政府必须接受。此后捐赠的公园和游乐场任何部分均不得转为其他用途。

另一方面,既有分区内的业主协会应依据本法案修订后的《总统令》第957号第31条所规定的开放空间,提供一处区域用于建立信息和通信技术基础设施及设施。

所有未来住宅区及现有住宅区内建设的ICT基础设施和设施,特别是被动电信塔基础设施(PTTI),应实行非排他性原则,并可供各ICT提供商共享使用。

此外,通信部(DICT)与国家电信委员会(NTC)应制定全面的选址规划,依据各地方政府单位的综合土地利用规划和分区条例,确定信息和通信技术基础设施及设施的建设和设立地点。

信息通信技术部还将与住房与城市发展局、内政和地方政府部、卫生部及食品药品监督管理局合作,并联合信息通信技术提供商开展宣传活动,以解决公众对电信塔发射的射频辐射安全性的担忧。

该法案的通过是电信运营商的一大利好,将有助于他们改善覆盖范围和网络质量。PLDT和Smart是最早对该法案通过的几家企业之一。

“这一备受欢迎的进展将有助于缓解电信公司在推广过程中遇到的障碍,尤其是在住宅区,因为许多业主协会和社区仍因对健康风险的担忧、美观原因等而禁止建设基站和其他电信基础设施,”PLDT-Smart 总裁兼首席执行官阿尔·潘利略表示。

Globe has been building a tower in our subdivision, on a very small (100 sqm) lot with almost no distance from adjacent houses — causing serious public physical and mental stress in the community…
Connectivity over peace and health? Is that even an acceptable collateral damage? Is this even legal?

We don’t need more cell towers for better Internet, that is what fiber optic is for.

I believe that having cell sites in subdivisions/villages would allow for more people to get better connectivity, which I’m sure everyone wants. It’s gonna be the health concerns that’s going to be a challenge for the telcos.

I know many might be worried about the radiation emitted by the towers affecting one’s health so I hope they properly address this as well. We need better internet but we also need to be assured of our health.
