The areas that are related to Information and Communication Technology or ICT that I had identified from his SONA last July 23 2012 were the following:
· PROJECT NOAH.
Automated Rain Gauges and water level monitoring sensors are those technologies that were discussed during the SONA of Pres. Noynoy Aquino. He said that he would try to give fair warning to Filipinos in order to prepare them for typhoons, cyclones, floosh floods and other natural disasters that would be dangerous to all mankind. He will have them installed in 80 primary river basins around the country.
This kind of project would be a great help for the disaster managements and for the safety of all people around our country.
· BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING (BPO)
Pres. Noynoy also included the Business Process Outsourcing or those businesses that are related to Call Centers and outsourcing. He said that this kind of business eleven years ago has been so slow and unproductive but now it is a very huge advantage for our country to have the BPO businesses because according to what he have said, the BPO already generated eleven billion dollars to the economy of our country. He also projected that this industry would contribute more money that would worth 25 billion more or less. He also added that this industry had employed almost 638,000 people.
So far, I would really say that this kind of industry would be a great help for our country by employing more people and it will also contribute billions of dollars in our government.
· iGovPhil
iGovPhil is a joint initiative of the Information and Communications Technology Office (ICTO) and the Advanced Science and Technology Institute. This project is meant to be a stepping stone for what will eventually become a type of Government Cloud, where agencies can integrate and share data and enable online services for public-facing government agencies.
He said with this project, the customer experience of the citizens and the government will really improve, and bureaucratic red tape that is usually a cause for anxiety among our citizen will be eliminated.
