The visitors were also briefed on a system for sending quick alerts about earthquakes and tsunamis. 3 years ago, the Philippines became the first Southeast Asian nation to adopt a Japanese-style terrestrial digital broadcast system. The country is training personnel and building infrastructure to expand the system’s network. Martin Andanar, the secretary of the Philippines’ Presidential Communications Operations Office, expressed hope to bring Super Hi-Vision technology back home.
