STATIONS FOR THE RECEPTION AND TRANSMISSION OF RADIO COMMUNICATIONS
WITHIN THE PHILIPPINES Section 1. There is hereby granted to the Balesin Corporation a temporary permit to construct, establish, operate and maintain in the Philippines, at such places as the grantee may select, subject to the approval of the Secretary of Public Works and Communications, private fixed point-to-point radio stations, for the reception and transmission of wireless messages on radiotelegraphy or radiotelephony, each to be provided with a radio transmitting apparatus and a radio receiving apparatus. Sec. 2. The President of the Philippines shall have the power and authority to permit the location of said private fixed point-to-point radio stations or any of them on lands of the public domain upon such terms and conditions as he may prescribe. Sec. 3. This temporary permit shall continue to be in force during the time that the Government has not established similar service at the places selected by the grantee, not to exceed twenty-five years from the date of the approval of this Act, and is granted upon the express condition that the same shall be void unless the construction of at least one of the said stations be begun within one year from the date of approval of this Act and be completed within two years from said date. Sec. 4. The grantee shall not engage in domestic business of telecommunication in the Philippines without further special assent of the Congress of the Philippines, it being understood that the purpose of this temporary permit is to secure to the grantee the right to construct, establish, operate and maintain private fixed point-to-point radio stations in such places within the Philippines as the interest of the grantee and of its trade and business may justify. Sec. 5. The grantee shall be subject to the corporation laws of the Philippines now existing or which may hereafter be enacted. Sec. 6. This temporary permit shall not take effect until the Secretary of Public Works and Communications shall have allotted to the grantee the frequencies and wave lengths to be used thereunder. Sec. 7. No fees are chargeable, as the radio stations that may be established by virtue of this Act shall engage in communications regarding the grantee's business only. Sec. 8. The grantee shall so construct and operate its radio stations as not to interfere with the operation of other radio stations maintained and operated in the Philippines. Sec. 9. The grantee shall hold the national,
provincial and municipal governments of the Philippines harmless from
all claims, accounts, demands, or actions arising out of accidents or
injuries, whether to property or persons, caused by the construction or
operation of its radio stations. Approved: July 22, 1972 |
