ICT Committee

The ICT Committee seeks to deepen cooperation among the various stakeholders involved by promoting a host of regulatory reforms to ensure the dynamic growth of the sector. Specifically, the committee advocates for incentivizing competitive and innovative ICT-BPO investments, addressing infrastructure gaps (e.g. common tower policy, open access in data transmission), and upskilling the workforce especially in the STEM field. Moreover, the group aspires that such reforms will help improve the Philippines’ state of connectivity and propel it at the forefront of digital revolution.
