ICT OFFICE PROGRAMSAND PROJECTS
E – SocietyThe main goal of the E-Society is to bring the benefits of ICT to the
Society, aiming for societal development. Programs included in this area
are focused on ICT services for the different needs of sectors of the
Philippine society.
E – GovernmentThis ensures the best use of the of ICT in government in expanding and
improving services that are made available to the public. It is anchored
on the e-Government Master Plan, which envisions a digitally connected
government, whose services are citizen-centered.
E – InnovationAs part of the two organizational outcomes of the ICT Office which is
mandated to create 1.3 Million jobs in the IT-BPM Industry, e-Business
guarantees the growth of the ICT-enabled industries through the public-
private partnerships (PPPs) with the industry, academe and civil society,
and through close collaboration with partners in government for the
development and implementation of programs and projects. It also
provides an avenue for the ICT Office to harness other areas of ICT, such
as ITpreneurship.
CybersecurityAs a gatekeeper of ICT, the ICT Office is tasked to ensure that the World
Wide Web is safe for Filipinos, business, and the Government. The aim is
to make sure cyberspace is secured through the collaboration of private
, public, and international partners for the development and rollout of

PRIORITYAREAS
I. ICT Ecosystem Development
The Philippines’ ICT Ecosystem is a vibrant one. However, the 2013 edition of Measuring
the Information Society (MIS) annual report from ITU places the Philippines at 98 (2012
and 2011) out of 157 countries and 7th among the ASEAN countries. Key policy issues are
given attention, including mitigating security related threats that may potentially undo
the gains already achieved.
This program aims to have an integrated perspective of markets, networks, services,
applications and content in determining governance, legal and regulatory frameworks.
Major Target:
• Development of plans and policies relative to the implementation and adoption of
infrastructure, systems, and applications and other related framework.
II. National Connectivity
Connectivity is globally recognized as a growth driver. According to a World Bank study,
every 10 percent increase in broadband penetration results in a 1.27 percent increase
in a developing nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). However, many areas of the
country and many Filipinos are still unconnected in one way of another. The program
addresses this challenge.
Major Target :
• Established TV White Space (TVWS) base stations in 21,000 sites of Elementary,
High School, and Rural Health Units in 4th to 6th class municipalities by 2016.
• Improve the delivery of government services to underserved communities.

ICT OFFICE PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
VI. ICT Enabled Startup
This is a new initiative which promotes the spirit of entrepreneurship and leverages the
use of ICT to affect change and provide solutions for problems in the different industries
and society at large by supporting the creation of technology startups.
The ICT Office aims to be the government lead in strengthening the local technology
startup community towards a unified goal: to be globally recognized as an active startup
hub in Asia and the world, and effectively mobilize its key resources and players to
create and nurture home-grown and foreign startups alike.
Major Target :
• Total of 50 ICT-Enabled Start-ups with an annual revenue of Php 10 Million each
by the end of 2016.
VIII. Stepping Up the Value Chain
This Program was initiated to develop a long-term strategy that will strengthen the
country’s global positioning in targeted high growth segments of the IT-BPM industry,
including Healthcare Information Management (HIM) outsourcing; Finance, Accounting
and Insurance outsourcing; HR Outsourcing; Multilingual BPM; IT Outsourcing; Creative
Process Outsourcing; Engineering Outsourcing; and, Voice BPO/Contact Center.
Major Target:
• Industry capacity/ capability building through the provision of industry trainings,
seminars, workshops & Rural Impact Sourcing.
VII. Next Wave Cities
As the Philippine IT- BPM Industry continues to expand the development of the more
host locations in the Philippines, these NWCs will become a crucial element in enabling
and supporting industry growth. Rich sources of untapped talent, these locations
provide good options for the IT-BPM operations beyond more established hubs and
Centers of Excellence in Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, Metro Clark and Bacolod City.
The Next Wave Cities Program promotes dynamic countryside development through ICT.
The Program develops ICT hubs that shall serve as alternative investment destinations,
thereby promoting countrywide development by creating jobs and providing economic
opportunities in the region. Next Wave Cities is a Philippine-specific term that identifies
ICT hubs beyond Manila, based on criteria, which include worker supply, infrastructure
and other factors necessary to sustain a local BPM industry.
Major Targets :
• 141, 000 new employees by end of 2015
• Additional 3 NWCs (IT-BPM hubs outside MM) established per year
• Next Wave Cities Awareness Campaign – IT-BPM Roadshows
In order to achieve the attainment of the goals of the ICT Office through the Next Wave
Cities Program, certain advocacy projects are necessary to help boost the awareness
of people, investors, and the academe on the potential of the IT-BPM industry as an
employment-generating industry. The IT-BPM Roadshows expose local stakeholders and
influencers on the benefits of the IT-BPM as a major income contributing industry in the
local and national level.
ICT OFFICE PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Back toTABLE OF CONTENTS
I. Free Wi-Fi Internet Access in Public Places
The Department of Science and Technology, through its Information and
Communications Technology Office (ICT Office), will embark to provide Internet
connectivity in public places across the Philippines. This Project aims to accelerate
the government’s efforts in enhancing Internet accessibility for Filipinos to accelerate
economic, social and educational opportunities and in reducing the growing Digital
Divide under the overarching e-Filipino Program of the DOST ICT Office. This project is
directly in line with the “Internet For All” thrust identified in the Philippine Digital Strategy
2011-2016.
The budget for this project as authorized in the 2015 General Appropriations Act (GAA)
is P1.408 billion, instead of the originally proposed P339 million. With the increase in
the budget, in addition to the original 748 Class 4, 5 and 6 municipalities, another 429
municipalities in classes 2 and 3 shall now also be covered. The project will also cover
various sites in Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao, as well as 10 other cities that will serve
as distribution points or Points of Presence.
II. TV White Space Technology
TV White Space (TVWS) uses unallocated TV and Radio spectrums that can pass
through concrete walls and vegetation. It provides up to 6mbps of data within a 20km
radius, traveling even above water. Because the Philippines is an archipelago, TVWS
is an ideal option to reach and connect every Filipino living in different islands of the
country.
TVWS requires a database of users in a particular location, which is why one must
register first before availing of the service. With more registered users and an updated
database, TVWS can become a more dynamic channel that Filipinos can enjoy.
Why Use TVWS as an Internet Connection?
• The Philippines is comprised of many islands and varying land masses.
Conventional Wi-Fi can only cover a short distance from its router; TVWS covers a
broader area and can penetrate concrete and traverse water easily.
• Such ease in traversing geographical boundaries makes ideal for communications
during disasters, especially in heavily affected areas.
• Using TVWS lowers the cost of communications, as most barrios and towns are
covered by its spectrum.

XV. Rural Impact Sourcing
Rural Impact Sourcing (RIS) targets to create meaningful ICT- enabled jobs in socio-
economically challenged areas in the country. RIS specifically focuses on areas where
there is high population but low employment due to lack of investors. Primarily intended
for areas that may not yet be ready to host IT-BPM locators, RIS provides information
and access to jobs that can provide additional livelihood opportunities for technically
competent workers.
1. Impact Sourcing and e-Commerce Workshops- With a very large pool of talent, the
Philippines is considered a potential center of the global market for Virtual
Assistance (VA), an online job wherein employees provide administrative and
technical assistance to clients from other countries via phone, email, or instant
messaging. To disseminate this online job opportunity, impact sourcing and
e-commerce workshops are held by the Office in various provincial areas.
2. Rural Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) - Under this initiative, possible investors
and locators are invited to put up local service delivery centers in provincial areas.
This kind of outsourcing model involves international BPO companies tapping
small scale BPO companies to train and later provide employment to Filipinos in
the said areas. Rural BPO is considered as the socially responsible arm of the
IT-BPM industry.
XVI. Capability Development for ICT Councils
1. Foundational Workshops for Level 3 ICT Councils – The Foundational Workshops
are conducted for ICT Councils with potentials as key partners of ICT Office in the
development and promotion of the ICT in the countryside but fall under the Level 3
category, which mean they lack the maturity and direction in order to take on a major
role for ICT development in their respective locations.
2. Capability Development Summit – The Capability Development Summit identifies the
key stakeholders of the ICT Councils through industry-mapping exercises. As one of the
Office’s primary stakeholders, the councils must be equipped with the proper know-how
to market their services to their stakeholders. With this, they could further contribute in
the creation of business opportunities and in the progress of ICT in the countryside.
3. Online Journal – The DOST-ICT Office, in collaboration with IBPAP, develops and
maintains an online version of the Next Wave Cities (NWCs) report. The Next Wave
Cities: Online Journal (NWCOJ) is a web portal that can both present and receive
information and data on the NWCs. In this website, other information can also be
