National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) Requiring Bloggers to Obtain a License Soon?

Have you heard the news? It was published in the Technews Section of Manila Bulletin last Jan 26, 2009. If things will push through, several bloggers and people getting their income from blogs, as well as people working for clients who have blogs (just like me) will need to get a license just to blog!

Of course everyone working for Outsourcing companies will sure be affected, from the web developers, programmers, link builders, writers, and virtual assistants. What is the Philippine government trying to do? Instead of helping Filipinos become productive by keeping their jobs and earning through pay per posts in blogs, they are instead pulling the Filipino people down.

I don't know how you guys might react to this news but I am definitely against it. Maybe the government should think not just twice.. thrice.. but several times! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will not be approved.
