PH’s 8 cities and 1 town initiate 5-year digital roadmaps
Eight cities and one town in the Philippines have launched their five-year digital city roadmaps that are aimed towards generating over 100,000 local jobs.
The launch is part of the “Digital Cities 2025” program introduced last year by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), Information Technology and Business Process Association of the Philippines, and Leechiu Property Consultants. The program covers 25 locations and 31 cities.
In an e-mailed statement, DICT announced, “Of the 31 cities launched as part of the Digital Cities Program in June last year, nine cities successfully completed their five-year roadmaps and launched them today.”
The cities that completed their roadmaps are expected to attract over P70 billion (approximately US$ 1.3 billion) in BPO investments in the next few years.
