PLDT Group said Tuesday it is pushing for the continued narrowing of the digital divide in support for the government’s
“Governments around the world are now under pressure from rapid globalization, fiscal, social and technological changes to provide services that are citizen-centric, efficient, transparent, and effective. For e-governance to succeed, a country must narrow and bridge the existing digital divide,” Smart vice president and head of regulatory affairs Roy Ibay said.
Ibay, in a recent panel at the Cybersphere Philippines 2023 forum, noted the importance of fundamental structural changes in government to ensure that an e-government platform would be maximized. “For e-governance to succeed, a government must ensure an organized, clean and corruption-free system of doing and implementing its activities. The cart cannot be put before the horse. Otherwise, digitalizing and expanding government services through a digital platform in whatever current system there is will only magnify the problems or defects, instead of hastening their solution,” Ibay said.
