Arroyo at the Cebu ICT 2005 Summit
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo leaves the conference room at the Waterfront Hotel in Cebu City where the three-day Cebu ICT 2005 summit is being held. Earlier in her speech, Arroyo waved a copy of Sun.Star Cebu, which ran an advertisement paid for by Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Robert Go and Cebu businessmen expressing their support for her administration.
Arroyo said in her speech that a total of 132T jobs were generated as of May in the ICT sector. Of that number, 28,000 are software developers, said CICT Commissioner Dondi Mapa, quoting data from a study funded by Microsoft. Arroyo described software development jobs as being "the top of the totem pole" in ICT.

Pres. Gloria Arroyo is right-- the ICT sector is a huge job-producing industry which Filipinos should take advantage.

Despite her imperfections, Pres. Gloria Arroyo is still the best person to lead the Philippines into the hi-tech age. She has done a lot to develop the local ICT sector and make it among the most productive industries. (June 28, 2005)
