No mobile phone signal on January 14 and 15 | Sun.Star

THE National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) approved on Thursday the request of the Police Regional Office (PRO) in the Central Visayas to shut down the cell sites of mobile phone companies during the Fiesta Señor activities on Saturday and Sunday to prevent terrorist bomb attacks in Cebu City. Councilor Dave Tumulak confirmed the development after he met with NTC officials along with PRO-Central Visayas Director Noli Taliño on Thursday afternoon (January 12). Tumulak said NTC Commissioner Gamaliel Cordoba signed the approval of the request, which will take effect for two days. Tumulak said there will be no mobile phone signal during the solemn procession on Saturday (January 14) and Sinulog grand parade on Sunday (January 15). As to the exact time when the signals will be jammed and the particular areas that will be affected, Tumulak refused to disclose the details for security reasons. (RVC/SunStar Cebu)

[Bonito4U]

pareho ta ug thinking boss.

unsa may gamit na e-off ang cell sites ??

look, if i'm a terrorist and i've heard of this news today, 3 days prior to Sunday, i would tell my crew to change plans and resort to using timed-bombs. assign my people to their designated areas, leave the bomb there and walk away. simple as that.

they ( cebu government ) should have kept this news in secret.

sakto sad gyud ka boss.

daghan kaayo ni disadvantages ni ilang pag off sa cell sites rather than advantages.

nah mao. well u know na media. haha. not blaming them but, sakto pd ka boss mar. possible jd na imo gsulti. pede change of plans before the event.

[BlueIre]

bisan pag dili nila e shutdown delayed raman gihapon ang mga messages kay dili ka accomodate ang telco sa tanang milyones consumers na mag gamit sa inihap na cellsites.
