PRESCRIBING POLICY GUIDELINES TO GOVERN THE OPERATIONS OF CABLE
TELEVISION IN THE PHILIPPINES
WHEREAS,
the State recognizes the vital role of communication and information in
nation-building;
WHEREAS, the Filipino people must be given wider access to more sources

programs other than those provided for by mass media and afforded
television programs to attain a well informed, well-versed and
culturally refined citizenry and enhance their socio-economic growth;
WHEREAS, cable television (CATV) systems could support or supplement
the services provided by television broadcast facilities, local and
overseas, as the national information highway to the countryside;

cable television services, there is an urgent need to maximize the
development of the cable television industry and to provide incentives
and afford protection to investments therein;
WHEREAS, professionalism and self-regulation among existing operators,
through a nationally recognized cable television operators’
association, have enhanced the growth of the cable television industry
and must therefore be maintained along with minimal reasonable
government regulations;
