SONA '09 - Areas related to ICT and how can it improve our quality of life.
“Kung noong nakaraan, lumakas ang electronics, today we are creating wealth by developing the BPO and tourism sectors as additional engines of growth. Electronics and other manufactured exports rise and fall in accordance with the state of the world economy. But BPO remains resilient. With earnings of $6 billion and employment of 600,000, the BPO phenomenon speaks eloquently of our competitiveness and productivity. Let us have a Department of ICT.”
-> Through the BPO industries the percentage of unemployment will lessen, contributing to the development of our economy status.
-> Technology, as we all know, has the ability to create shortcuts in working and can make tasks easier as well. Building a Department of ICT is a good idea because we will be (somehow) updated with the current technology. Admit it, we are a bit behind when it comes to technology, but by having a Department of ICT, we will not only be updated with the technology but it will also help other government offices by creating systems that a specific department needs. Additionally, we -- techie students -- will have the opportunity to showcase our talents to our country. The possibility for technology innovations might open wider than it is right now.
“In technical education and skills training, we have invested three times that of three previous administrations combined. Narito si Jennifer Silbor, isa sa sampung milyong trainee. Natuto siya ng medical transcription. Now, as an independent contractor and lecturer for transcriptions in Davao, kumikita siya ng P18,000 bawat buwan.”
-> This statement should have encouraged out-of-school youth and/or people whose not financially capable enrolling in a university, to continue their search for knowledge through enrolling into the technical education that our government offers in an affordable fee. Not only that it will lessen the count of undergraduates but of unemployment as well.
“As a country in the path of typhoons and in the Pacific Rim of Fire, we must be prepared as the latest technology permits to anticipate natural calamities when that is possible; to extend immediate and effective relief when it is not. The mapping of flood- and landslide-prone areas is almost complete. Early warning, forecasting and monitoring systems have been improved, with weather tracking facilities in Subic, Tagaytay, Mactan, Mindanao, Pampanga.”
-> Good! This is very helpful in a way that people will not be misinformed about the weather or other natural calamities that might occur. Making people ready and alert.
