To the Sunday Punch,

Since May 14, 2006 (Mother's Day) I couldn't call my mom in the Philippines. I have already called the PLDT four times!!! But they couldn't fix it till now!!! It will be 6 weeks till June 25. I told them I will not pay the monthly rate for not using the telephone. PLDT has not rendered a performance, why should I pay for it? Can you help explain why the telephone is not functioning?

(Editor’s Reply: Over the past months, both PLDT and DIGITEL have been suffering from a series of cable thefts by a syndicate, resulting in disruption of service of many phone subscribers almost every week. We have been reporting this in our past issues.
This is the dilemma of government today…they can't seem to stop the syndicate. If I may suggest, you may be better off supplying your residence here with a cellphone momentarily).
