“Said Order was personally served upon and received by Respondent on 21 December 2023… However, notwithstanding Respondent’s receipt of such Order on the said date, the Commission has received reports showing that Respondent did not strictly comply with the suspension aspect thereof and was still operating in certain areas in Region VI by as late as 27 December 2023,” saad sa order ng NTC.

Binigyan ng NTC ang SMNI ng 15 araw para tumugon at ipaliwanag kung bakit nabigo silang sundin ang 30-day suspension order na posibleng humantong sa kasong administratibo.

“Failure to file an Answer within the period herein granted shall be considered a waiver of Respondent's right to be heard and the Commission shall render such judgement as the law and evidence may warrant,” dagdag pa.
