On the assumption that you heard/read the SONA of the President last month, (July 2000), identify at least 3 areas related to ICT and identify how these areas can improve our quality of life.
From what I had seen on the last State of the Nation Address of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo just last July 2010, she stated the usual accomplishments of her governance, what she thinks about her critics and her never ending promises that I know only less than half of it is true. It was stated on her State of the Nation Address how the investments coming from the business industries especially those coming from the Business Process Outsourcing Companies helped the economy, that is very much true. Talking about Business Process Outsourcing, what is good about President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s State of the Nation Address is that she pointed out how the Philippine Government will create profit from the Business Process Outsourcing industry.
The three areas of Information and Communication Technology in which President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo mentioned in her State of the Nation Address are:
• Creating wealth by developing the BPO and tourism sectors as additional engines of growth.
• Department of ICT.
• Automated Election.
On the first point, just here in Davao City, there are so many call center companies that are already established and some are still developing. In fact, just this year, Davao City is among the 30 cities of the world that has been recognized as a potential city for the Business Process Outsourcing industry. Other than that, our city officials had been working hard and creating measures in making Davao City as Information Technology Hub.
Amidst the global financial crisis that the international community is experiencing, the Information Technology industry is one of the sectors that stayed strong. Having the government allow BPO investors to do business in the country will provide more jobs for the people not only in the customer – related services but also in other Information Technology – related jobs and creating more profit from the BPO industry will give more financial budget for government projects such as health and education.
The second point is about the development of the ICT or Information and Communication Technology Department. In this way, Information Technology will gain recognition and importance. Other than that, having an ICT department will develop computerized business processes, time and cost efficiency, communication and most importantly, this will mean more jobs for the people.
The last one is about the May 2010 automated elections which went through a lot of controversies. Looking at the bright side, it is a good step for our country since it is not hard nowadays to upgrade into automation. Moreover, automating the election is a time saver, cost efficient and will somehow minimize if not eradicate election problems.
