                    [Summary] => DAVAO CITY – The government’s Telepono sa Barangay program has remained unimplemented in Basilan, Tawi-Tawi and Sulu due to security problems in the three island-provinces.


The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) actually kicked off the Telepono sa Barangay in 1992 and since then, the program has benefited other areas in Mindanao such as the Zamboanga provinces and Lanao del Norte.

Transportation and Communication Secretary Pantaleon Alvarez said these three phases – TSB 1 and 2 approved by President Ramos and TSB 1A approved by former President Estrada – are covered by contracts that are valid and are still in effect.
