In a statement, the commission ordered its regional directors to regulate the use of radios within their respective areas and extend assistance to the NDRRMC, Civic Action Groups (CAGs), and Amateur Radio Groups (ARGs).
“All regional directors shall determine any assistance that the commission may provide, such as issuance of temporary permits and licenses necessary to lend assistance and ensure the safety of our kababayans who will be travelling to various parts of the country,” the NTC said.
“Also enlist the assistance of radio, television, and cable TV stations/operators for the proper and timely dissemination of related information,” it added.
The commission also tasked regional directors to submit electronic copy of reports of the following information until October 31:

- Areas and/or routes to be covered;
- Frequencies to be used;
- Contact numbers and point persons during the operations;
