Davos, Switzerland—Pinalakas pa ni Pangulong  Marcos Jr. ang cybersecurity system sa bansa.

Sa talumpati ng Pangulo sa open forum sa 2023 World Economic Forum (WEF), sinabi nito na mahalaga ang cybersecurity system para maitaguyod ang digitalization sa bureaucracy. Inilako ng Pangulo sa WEF ang mga digitalization initiative at improvements na ginawa ng pamahalaan.

“The security has become a huge issue… that’s what we are trying to design now, a cybersecurity system for this sensitive information,” pahayag ng Pangulo.

Aniya hindi maikakaila na mabagal ang internet connectivity sa Pilipinas kung kaya pinagsusumikapan ng pamahalaan na mapaganda ito para maikonekta sa isat isa ang milyong Filipino.

“The connectivity in the Philippines is still pretty low. And it’s unfortunate because some of the studies we’ve made, the general consumer, if you want to call them that, talks to every facet of their lives through the internet, except for government,” pahayag ng Pangulo.

Pinalakas na rin aniya ng local government units ang pagpapatayo ng internet connectivity infrastructures para maabot ang mga malalayong lugar.

“So, local governments, and some agencies within the national government, would really take on the initiative and started their own systems so as to be able to communicate… So this has now got to be consolidated and put together,” pahayag ni Marcos.

“And that’s where we are right now: forming the databases for government, forming the databases that can be used by the national ID, [and] establishing it now,” dagdag ng pangulo.

Ipinag-utos na nito  na palakasin ang digitalization sa National Identification (ID) system na maaring magamit sa public at private transactions.

Sa ilalim ng administrasyong Marcos, libong offline areas ng Broadband ng Masa (BBM) at Free Wi-Fi for All programs ang binuhay ng Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT)
