ZAMBOANGA HAS been named as one of 25 Digital Cities in the country and now the center of focus for new economic development in the next 3 years, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) announced.
DICT said this initiative is geared to sustain the rapid growth of the Information Technology and Business Process Management (IT-BPM) sector and promote countryside development.
Previously termed “Next Wave Cities”, the Digital Cities 2025 program is expected to determine the industry-readiness of new centers by creating and developing ICT hubs in identified locations.
It said these ICT hubs shall serve as business and innovation centers to draw in investments that can be expected to create more jobs and other economic opportunities in areas outside the National Capital Region.
DICT said this program forms part of its National ICT Month 2020 Celebration with the banner of “Maximizing ICT for the New Normal”.
Under the program, local government units, ICT Councils, and IT-BPM locators will have access to information on strategies and best practices from the private and public sectors to effectively develop and grow the IT-BPM industry in the regions.
“We believe that the Digital Cities 2025 program will help focal areas promote local participation in order to strengthen their economies and governance systems in the New Normal setting,” DICT Secretary Gregorio Honasan II said, adding, this significant movement also aligns with the President Rodrigo Duterte’s ‘Balik Probinsya, Balik Pag-asa Program.
The other digital cities are Balanga, Batangas, Cabanatuan, Dagupan, General Santos, Iligan, Iriga, Laguna Cluster, Laoag, Legazpi, Malolos, Metro Cavite, Metro Rizal, Olongapo, Puerto Princesa, Roxas, San Fernando in La Union, San Fernando in Pampanga, San Jose del Monte, Tacloban, Tagbilaran, Tarlac, Tuguegarao and Urdaneta.
This is the first time that Zamboanga has been considered a digital city because of the efforts of Mayor Beng Climaco to put Zamboanga on the digital map. Climaco is a strong advocate of ICT. (Zamboanga Post)
