Mayor Beng Climaco said personnel who are manning the border screen all those entering Zamboanga City as part of a strict health protocol against Covid-19. “The communication to and from the Licomo border will be easier and faster with this technology. This is a big help to the city government's efforts to battle against Covid-19,” she said. 

The DICT Mindanao Cluster 1 handed over the donation to City Veterinarian Dr. Mario Ariola, who is also the Licomo Border in-Charge; and Alan Aizon, of the Computer Services Division of the local government. 

DICT Secretary Gregorio Honasan II said: “Through Free Wi-Fi (program), we want to reach places where there is minimal to no fiber and tower. Thus, we are currently carrying out Free Wi-Fi installation to target more geographically isolated and disadvantaged sites through the use of very small aperture terminal or VSAT Satellite.” 

Honasan said DICT has launched over 8,000 Wi-Fi sites in various national government agencies, hospitals, public schools, state universities and colleges, airports and terminals, and other public places nationwide. (Zamboanga Post)
