Information and Communications Technology Anna Mae Lamentillo said the DICT is working hand in hand with other government agencies to attain a shared goal: to make the Philippines a “prosperous middle class and globally competitive society” by 2040.
“We are creating and implementing both mid-term and long-term plans for digital transformation across government sectors through improved interoperability and collaboration across the government ecosystems,” said Lamentillo in a business forum on Tuesday, Jan. 31.
“[W]e are aggressively implementing key programs such as the BroadBand ng Masa Program, which provides free Wi-Fi sites in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas.; the Luzon Bypass Infrastructure, which will increase total government capacity to 2,000,000 Mbps in the next six years; and the establishment of the National Government Data Center,” said Lamentillo.
“We have initiated the eGov SuperApp – a single application that any Filipino citizen would ever need to avail of virtually all local and national government services,” she said.
