With the numerous mandates, functions and services that the Commission are given,
there is one crucial component where the Commission is observed to be weak – its law
enforcement function. In fact, there are observed and recorded cases that resulted to
unsuccessful implementation of radio laws and regulations due to the following:
1) NTC enforcers are not familiar with the laws, rules & regulations;
2) NTC enforcement activities are being done differently from region to another region;
3) Weak networking among law enforcers (within the Commission and other government
law enforcement agencies;
4) Hesitation in implementing the radio laws, rules and regulations;
5) Administrative and criminal prosecution of officers; and
6) Others
And because of the above-cited issues, there is a need to strengthen the Commission’s
law enforcement function.
The Commission must recognize that these challenges will intensify and will require our
undivided attention. Take a moment to reflect upon these and other trends that affect the

enforcement function of the Commission, and give introspection as to our own agency’s
readiness.
