over all telecommunications services throughout the country. For the effective enforcement of this
responsibility, it adopts and promulgates such guidelines, rules, and regulations relative to the establishment
operation and maintenance of various telecommunications facilities and services nationwide. Although
independent insofar as its regulatory and quasi-judicial functions are concerned, the NTC remains under the
administrative supervision of the Commission on Information and Communications Technology as an attached
