It has been years now that the ordinary consumers of prepaid load from the giants of telecommunications; smart, globe and sun have been complaining of mysterious exhaustion of their credits. They say in vernacular, "Karon pa gani ko nagpa-load, check op na pud". Little has been done to remedy this problem but when the time came that the NTC acted upon the claims, meager resolutions were the outcome.
If the senate have not done an investigation in aid of legislation concerning the problem (although politicking can be very evident) the NTC (National Telecommunications Commission) would have just shrugged the problem off as irrelevant. Sen. Enrile was furious when he received unsolicited messages from his network thereby reducing his prepaid credits, in response, the network answered that the senator subscribed to songs by RnB star Akon which made Enrile more angry due to the fact that he don't even know who Akon is. Sen. Enrile is only one of millions of Filipinos who receive different contents from the networks without them requesting for it which in layman's term could be equated to stealing, a crime.
Results of the senate inquiry: extension of load expiry, another problem the people have endured over the years. Unsolicited messages which secretly eats our load credits would likely still bother us in the coming days. We hope the NTC would wake up soon and straighten these disguised crimes against consumers.
