Dubbed as the “Bayang Digital ang Bagong Pilipinas: DICT Regional Roadshow 2024”, the event was led by DICT Secretary Ivan John E. Uy that showcased booths and learning workshops that introduced various programs, projects and initiatives of the DICT.
The event also showed the various programs of the DICT’s attached agencies such as the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), National Privacy Commission (NPC), and the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC).
Participants of the roadshow enjoyed the event, especially the students who visited the booths, interacted with the employees of the projects of the agency, and took part of the lessons given by the agencies involved.
Secretary Uy urged that every Filipino should establish a digitally-empowered Bagong Pilipinas, citing that each Filipinos’ participation will provide a stronger and safer digital age for Bagong Pilipinas.
Provincial Board Member Benjamin Jocson and National University President Renato Carlos H. Ermita Jr. showed their support to the roadshow, citing that everybody will benefit from the roadshow and not just the students.
