The document discusses the impact of internet access and speeds on the economy and society in the Philippines. It notes that around 1.5 million Filipinos found online jobs in 2015, earning an average of $3 per hour. While internet access has increased and the government has provided more free wifi, high fees charged by dominant internet providers have led to relatively poor internet speeds. The document also discusses how increased internet use could benefit education but may enable human rights abuses like cyber pornography if not regulated properly. Internet activists are working to improve access for all Filipinos and protect freedom of information, net neutrality, and basic human rights online.
