DITO Telecommunity Chief Administrative Officer Adel Tamano: We're coming to NCR soon. Give us a couple of weeks
DITO Chief Administrative Officer Tamano: Our coverage is national. From Luzon Visayas, Mindanao, we have over 1,900 towers already that are live. So that's more than 37% of the population already covered
DITO Chief Administrative Officer Tamano: For those areas we're available in now, we have done our tests. Although we are just starting, we are comparable, if not better, in those 15 cities where we are now commercially available

He adds: We're not going to be number three. We are so confident that what we're offering is much better
DITO Chief Administrative Officer Tamano: We don't bear the cost of legacy technologies, so we're actually going to be cheaper and, modesty aside, we aim to be better than the current competition
DITO Chief Administrative Officer Tamano: We're so confident that what we're offering is so much better. We're going to be leaps and bounds ahead of our competition. That's why we entered the telco space, because it really needed to be shaken up
