RATIONALE
As the development Champion of the Cyber Corridor Superregion, the Commission
on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) has been directed to
oversee all programs and projects related to activities being implemented
in the Corridor. Aligned with this CICT is tasked to ensure the
competitiveness of the ICT industry, develop human capital, advocacy
for universal access/service, and promote the use of ICT in government.
The Roadshow aims to showcase all CICT initiatives as a means to
operationalize the directions set for this Super Region.
Pursuant to this mandate, the CICT intends to conduct a Cyber Corridor
Roadshow in the Top 10 Next Wave Cities (NWC) within the Corridor.
These top ten NWCs were determined on the basis of an industry scorecard
published in the BPAP Industry Roadmap 2010. These cities include: Metro
Laguna, Metro Cavite, Iloilo, Davao, Bacolod, Pampanga Central, Bulacan
Central, Cagayan de Oro, Bulacan South and Lipa.
Relatedly, the Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP)
is conducting a Career Caravan in the NWCs. Noting the objectives of both
initiatives which both support the growth of the IT-BPO industry, these two
initiatives are merged and combined as one activity, themed as
Convergence 2009: Empowering the Filipino through ICT.
