Anthony Ian Cruz, spokesman of Txtpower, told the weekly Kapihan sa Cypress that they will be holding a series of mass protests actions to block the proposal.


The IMF last week proposed an excise tax on text messaging. 


Cruz said that if this pushes through, the telecommunications companies would definitely pass on to cellphone users now estimated to number14 million.
