INFRASTRUCTURE (PTTIs)”

DATE: 11 JUNE 2021

SECTION 1. BACKGROUND

1.1. On 23 July 2020, Joint Memorandum Circular No. 1, series of 2020 was executed for
the purpose of prescribing the streamlined processes and requirements as to
application for permits, licenses and clearances for the construction of Shared Passive
Telecommunications Tower Infrastructure (PTTIs) that will be constructed by Mobile
Network Operators (MNOs) duly authorized by the National Telecommunications
Commission (NTC) and Independent Tower Companies (ITCs) duly registered with the
DICT, in order to facilitate the accelerated rollout of telecommunication infrastructure
and service projects.

1.2. On 11 September 2020, Republic Act No. 11494 or the “Bayanihan to Recover As One
Act” was enacted to provide for COVID-19 response and recovery interventions and
provide mechanisms to accelerate the recovery and bolster the resiliency of the
Philippine Economy, provide funds therefore, and for other purpose.

1.2.1. Section 4 (ii) provides for COVID-19 Response and Recovery Interventions for
the acceleration of the deployment of critical Information and Communications
Technology Infrastructure (ICT) particularly additional cell towers, equipment,
software, and wireless technologies throughout the country to address the need
for digital connectivity, internet speed and stability, and Cybersecurity in E-
Commerce, E-Government, online learning, and telecommuting in order to
sufficiently meet the significant additional shift of the general public to online
services and platforms and to home and mobile communication units for doing
work from home, for completing commercial and other transactions, for
convening meetings and conducting conferences and seminars/webinars, and
for obtaining educational instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic through
the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).

 1.2.2. One of the measures to be undertaken under the R.A. No. 11494 is the
temporary suspension of requirements to secure permits and clearances for
the construction of telecommunications and internet infrastructure.

1.3. The subsequent passage of R.A. No. 11494 brought about various interpretations as
to the applicability of JMC No. 1 s. 2020, particularly on the provisions that are in
conflict with R.A. No. 11494. Hence, this JMC is executed in order to harmonize the
provisions of R.A. No. 11494 and JMC No. 1 s. 2020 and provide further guidelines on
