Advocacy group: Boost PH’s digital infrastructure, upskill Filipinos

Citizen Watch, an independent network of advocates seeking to raise the interests of the public, said in order to “embrace digitalization,” the country needs to boost its digital infrastructure and at the same time upgrade the digital skills of Filipinos.

For Citizen Watch Philippines Co-Convenor Orlando Oxales, these efforts will help ensure the digital transformation across the archipelago.

“What we need to plan carefully and execute effectively is how we can achieve real digital transformation not only in select sectors or geographic locations, but across the archipelago. Collaborating with the private sector, providing more incentives, and instituting a digital skills improvement program are key steps to achieve this,” he furthered.
