Press Articles about PLDT.COM despite the media blackout. (International, Online, and Local) Pls scroll down for more articles.

Unlike PLDT, we at least try to post records pertaining to the civil case PLDT (the telephone company) filed VS. GK personally (www.pldt.com, the anti-metering website ) as well as the www.pldti.org, a volunteer group of consumers who are anti-metering advocates. Their lawyers have gone so far as to restrict the use of even tape recorders during the proceedings, and have attemtped to revise the transcripts of an entire hearing. We openly invite the general public to attend the hearings.
