PLDT ‘may consider’ higher capex for 2018

PLDT Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan said on Thursday the company may “consider” a higher capital expenditure (capex) for next year to address criticisms on the country’s internet quality.

Asked about the company’s capex program for 2018, Pangilinan said PLDT has two choices--to keep capex spending at the current level or to allocate a higher budget in order to respond to the consumers’ clamor for quality internet connectivity.
