Gusto ko po ihain sa inyong ngayong araw na ito ang spaghetti.

Hindi po ito yung spaghetti na ikinakain natin sa handaan o yung kantang spaghetti.

Sa halip, ito pong spaghetti na ito ay matutuloy kong panganib at perwisyo sa ating mga kababayan.

I present to you, spaghetti wires and cables.

My staff went around the metro to take photos of these entangled and voluminous wires and cables.

And it was very easy to find them.

Alam ko, pamilyar po tayong lahat sa mga ito.

Ang sakit po sa mga mata.

My attention was recently called during regarding the spaghetti wires

when several complainants came to my program last Friday

because they got into an accident

due to some hanging wires along EDSA.

Panorin po natin.

Mr. President!

Dito nakakabli ng kawad po.

Oh, may ano kasaliin? Bandage?

Kaya po yung time na yun, sir. Binitawan ko na po yung motor ko.

Hindi ko na po alam kung anong nangyari sa amin.

Sa gitna po ng kalsada, sir.

Buti lang po yung mga ibang motor.

Ito ang motorcycle rider na tumuli yung panatumulong sa amin.

Kasi kung may kasunod pong nangyari sa aming pagkatumbang,

baka nasagasaan na po kami noon.

Pati si ma'am.

Opo.

Ang ulo ko, sir, ang kamama.

Tapos yung ipin ko.

We already contacted the Philippine Global Communications Incorporated

through their customer service representative po.

We informed po na mayroon pong ganong insidente nangyari.

And also we emailed the police report po.

Ano pong sagot nila, Corporal?

Ang sabi po,

nung nakausap natin si Mika po,

ay na-forward na daw po nila yung police report doon po sa kanilang legal.

Kausapin ko yung chairman ng MMDA.

Of course, responsable na ang may-ari ng kabli.

Pero dapat bilang sila yung namamahala niya sa mga kalye, sa EDSA,

yung MMDA dapat nakita nila na may mga nakabalanda na kabli,

tinawagan nila yung Philippine Global para ipaayos.

Sir, maidagdag ko lamang po.

Noong gabi po na yun, apat na sunod-sunod po yung nadisgrasya.

Apat?

Apat po.

Iban pa po sa kanila, may mga nauna po.

Siya po yung isa sa mga biktima.

Bali, 12 midnight po.

Alas 1.30 po ng umaga.

At meron pa rin pong nabasagan po ng windshield.

Mr. President,

four incidents involving just that particular area in EDSA,

and yet, kinalang pa po nila pumunta sa aking programa para magsumbong.

Ito pong mga taga Philippine Global Communications Incorporated,

na nagmamay-aral,

ito po yung mga kabling yan noong nalapitan po ng mga nabiryan nila.

Ano ang mga sinabi?

Magsumiti raw ng pictures at video para ma-refer sa kanilang legal at pag-aaralan.

Pagkatapos po noon, aming tinawagan ng MMDA.

Ang sagot lang sa amin ng magaling na MMDA,

hindi daw nila jurisdiction yung nangyari.

Kawawang mga nila lang.

Mga walang malay na naghanap buhay lang,

at na mamalengkes, sana, ay muntik pang mabawian ng buhay.

At ito mga may kasalanan, walang urgency at malasakit sa mga tao.

Ibabato pa sa legal.

At ang MMDA na sana ay ang sangay ng gobyerno na maaaring nakagawa ng paraan

o upang mapigilan.

Ito sa mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga strong revive,

sa pamagitan ng pagtawag ng atensyon nitong Philippine Global Communications ay umiiwas sa kanilang responsibilidad.

Dahil sa pangyayaring ito, aking pong pinatingnan ang estado ng mga kable sa ating mga kapaligiran.

Mr. President, just last August 2023, dahil sa mga nag-ipon-ipon na kable sa mga portion ng kuryente sa Binondo,

sa tabi mismo ng Binondo Church, apat na posteng bumagsak dahil sa bigat.

Nabagsakan po ang ilang mga sasakyan na puto ng kuryente at ibang telco services, kasamang internet doon sa area na yun.

Pagkatapos po, sinaraang kalye upang maayos ang mga bumagsak na poste kaya nagdulat ng traffic.

Mr. President,

Ito po ang mga spaghetti wires ang nagdudulot ng napakaraming problema para sa ating bayan.

Number one, just like in the case that was brought to me, it is a risk to life and limb.

It possess real danger to our citizens.

Ito lang po is enough to make this matter a national concern.

It could also be a cause of terrible traffic.

Kapag ito pong mga kable at mga poste bumagsak,

ito po'y magdudulot ng matinding traffic.

Number three, damage to property.

Just like the one in Binondo, it fell on cars parked along the street.

If these wires are not maintained well, it is known to cause fire as well.

Number four, damage to heritage sites.

Kung magagawin po tayo sa Intramuros, madami din pong mga ganitong spaghetti wires.

And if these wires damage the properties there,

hindi po madaling mag-restore ng mga lugar na luma na at kung masunog halos,

imposible na may balik ito sa dati.

Number five, it is an eyesore.

As mentioned earlier, tourists who visit Intramuros see how these lines hamper the beautiful sights there.

Ang sakit po sa mata ng mga spaghetti wires na ito.

Number six, interrupted in electricity and telecommunications.

Just like what happened in Binondo when it fell,

businesses, including banks, lost their internet.

What if hospitals are affected and they experience brownouts for a long period of time,

especially in the middle of a surgery?

Mahirap po yung ganong klaseng sitwasyon.

Number six,

It seems that these wires are mostly from utility companies such as telecommunication,

internet providers,

and electricity distribution.

These companies apply for permits to install these structures and attach these cables,

but there seems to be nobody actively regulating them.

Nobody is monitoring them in short.

Once a wire is no longer in use, they shall leave it there.

And new utility providers just keep on adding and adding and adding more wires.

Some would give an excuse that they cannot just remove the useless and abandoned wires

because hindi naman daw sa kanila iyon.

So nagmumukha pong tambakan ang mga poster natin ng mga kable na nagkakabulbul at wala ng pakinabang.

Tapos, minsan pa po, ginagawa pa nila yung storage facility para madali silang mag-ayos.

May ilang nag-iwan ng mga rolyo ng kable para kumayahan.

Kable para kumayayusin, nandoon na agad, extra cables.

Mr. President, who issues the permit for this construction and installation?

We have the building officials issuing building permits.

These are supposed to go to the City Engineering Office.

But how come it is as if after submitting the requirements,

these companies have a free hand already in whatever they hang in?

These polls.

There should be a continuous monitoring so that the permits could be lifted when they are not compliant.

Ito pong Philippine Global Communications Incorporated ay dapat ma-review ang kanilang permit to operate.

They are not doing their job properly.

And who knows, ilang pang mga kable nila ang nagdudulot sa mga perwisyo sa tao.

Mr. President, in the case that happened to the complainants that approached me,

there is a clear lack of accountability on the telcos and the government regulating agencies.

We have to determine whose liability this is.

LG UBA, DPWH, or the telcos, all electric distribution companies.

There should be more national direction regarding these concerns.

There are individuals' actions in some areas.

For example, in Davao, they already installed their cables underground.

Matagal na po ito, pinapropose ni Architect Palafox.

What is stopping us from implementing this?

And while this is pending, there are some LGUs like in Cebu and Valenzuela

that did a clearing drive in their area of these cables.

In Pasig, they have an organization.

They have an ordinance holding telcos and electric companies liable for failure to clear these lines.

Maybe we could explore these options so that these spaghetti wires could finally be resolved

and no more life could be put at risk.

I believe that the Committee on Public Works, under the chairmanship of Senator Bong Ribilla,

would ably address this.

And as Chairman of the Committee on Energy,

I will take the conscience against the electric,

electric distribution companies.

If there are adjustments that we need to make in our laws

and put the responsibility on those businesses making use of these posts and cables,

I know we can work on these together.

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you, Mr. President.
