The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) officially kicks off the celebration of National ICT Month this June, underscoring the nation’s rapid transformation into a premier digital economy. Guided by this year’s theme of fostering inclusive innovation and digital empowerment, the month-long event highlights the government’s commitment to bridging the digital divide and accelerating e-governance across the archipelago.

Throughout June, DICT is rolling out a dynamic lineup of activities, including cybersecurity forums, tech startup tech-matching events, and intensive digital literacy workshops tailored for rural communities. Key milestones in the expansion of the “Free Wi-Fi for All” program and the streamlined eGov PH super app are also taking center stage, showcasing tangible progress in making public services more accessible to every Filipino.

By bringing together tech industry leaders, academia, and public sector stakeholders, DICT aims to spark sustainable collaborations that will future-proof the local workforce. This annual celebration is more than just a showcase of technological milestones; it is a strategic push to ensure that no Filipino is left behind in the rapidly evolving global digital landscape.
