ANGELES CITY -- Councilor Jesus "Jay" Sangil has clarified that he is not politicking when he called for an inquiry regarding the real state of internet service being provided by Converge ICT Solutions in the city.
"Politics?! The usual scape goat ng mga nako-corner sa mga public issues," Sangil said.
He said several hundreds of subscribers in the city and nearby towns are complaining about poor internet service.
Sangil, a former journalist, claimed that even mediamen and Clark Freeport locators are complaining about the services of Converge. (Maski ding aliwa abe tamu king profession and even several clark locators magreklamu la. Even Clark Development Corporation (CDC) wifi, you could hardly access).
"Where is politics here? We chose to side with our complaining people which is our obligation and responsibility as a public official," the official said.
Sangil bared that he is a longtime friend of businessman Dennis Uy, who is the owner of Converge ICT Solutions, but he cannot just ignore the complaints of the people.
"I for one is politicking if I chose to side with the owner who is a longtime friend (Dennis Uy) and ignore the people's uproar! That is politicking," the councilor said.
Sangil also claimed that Converge is not being singled out. "And besides he is not being singled out, can you please read my speech.
"In our upcoming inquiry, we are inviting all telcos in Angeles City to help our constituents in terms of providing better and fast internet services," he added.
