PCO to launch Bagong Pilipinas digibox

As the Philippines switches from analog to digital terrestrial broadcasting this year, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) will launch the “Bagong Pilipinas” digibox to ease the transition for Filipinos who still have their analog televisions.

Speaking during the “Bagong Pilipinas” campaign kickoff rally in Manila yesterday, PCO Secretary Cheloy Garafil said television sets in Metro Manila would no longer be able to detect analog signals starting this year.

“They won’t be able to use their television sets anymore unless they switch to digital,” Garafil said.

“Since we will transition from analog to digital, we know that not everyone can buy digital TVs. So, we in the PCO will launch the Bagong Pilipinas digibox,” she added.
