00:11J.P. Soriano witnessed it.
00:17In the remote and remote areas of the Philippines, there is a weak or frequent lack of cell phone signal.
00:23That's why the University of the Philippines, Department of Information and Communications Technology, or DICT, has been working hard for a long time
00:30to develop the Open RAN or Open Radio Access Network,
00:34a system that will lower the price of telecommunication services,
