“”The assistance of radio, television and cable TV stations/operators have also been enlisted for the proper and timely dissemination of related information,” the NTC said in a statement.
“The regional offices are also directed to monitor the operations of the CAGs and ARGs in their areas of jurisdiction and submit ongoing and post operation reports to the Office of the Commissioner,” it added.
According to the NTC, the initiative aims to ensure the safe travels of Filipinos during the observance of this year’s Holy Week, locally known as “Semana Santa.”
