The Philippine government wants to classify EVERYTHING on the web. That includes websites, porno pictures, sex scandal video, podcasts……everything. Why do they want to do this? Gue$$ why.

#1) Fix your 1997 website & #2) How about classifying sex offenders instead?

The National Telecommunication Commission plans to classify Web sites and other data posted on the Internet as a value added service that needs to registered with the government.

In the preliminary hearing of a draft memorandum circular on value added services, Edgardo Cabarrios, NTC director for common carrier and authorization department, said contents of Web sites such as Yahoo could be classified as a value added service in so far as its delivery is concerned.

“Telecom is delivery of content. When content is delivered it becomes a telecom service,” Cabarrios said.

You can tell them how stupid they are.
