Dear Editor
 
We at PLDT-Smart could not agree more with Rey Gamboa’s opinion article on The Philippine Star dated August 25, 2020, on the importance of setting the benchmarks onto which the country’s telco industry ought to refer to when measuring standards.
 
We however wish to correct the assumptions Mr Gamboa had raised on the Philippines telco industry’s global standing, to which he wrote, “the truth remains that the Philippines still has the third slowest internet speed in the world, and charges the second highest price in Asia.”
