MANILA, Philippines — Consumer advocacy group CitizenWatch Philippines has called on local government units (LGUs) and electric cooperatives nationwide to eliminate barriers to broadband connectivity which deprives areas affected of tangible economic opportunities. 'This is not a technology or even a capital issue but more of a bureaucratic bane. It is something we can address swiftly and effectively with enough political will and commitment,' CitizenWatch Philippines co-convenor Atty Tim Abejo said in a statement on Sunday.
