AN advocacy group espousing the interests of ordinary consumers on Sunday urged the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to leverage public-private partnerships to attract private investment to develop the country’s digital infrastructure and upgrade the skills of Filipinos to ensure a relevant digital transformation.
Earlier, Marcos said the country needs to be “even smarter, even bolder in finding digital solutions” to the several challenges facing the country today. “We should take the cue from the Bank’s recommendations especially on the matter of tapping PPPs to achieve near-universal connectivity,” Oxales said.
“The government, through the DICT, can stimulate increased mobile network expansion in rural areas through an efficient spectrum allocation by the operator .” Aside from connecting Filipinos, Oxales said the new administration must also pursue digitalization to promote inclusivity, in particular empowering the micro, small, and medium enterprises .
“Without this parallel effort, all our initiatives in upgrading and expanding digital infrastructure would be for nothing.”
