Digital divide in RP

Commission on Information and Communications Technology Chairman Virgilio Pena said the digital divide is more pronounced in developing countries.

In the Philippines, only four percent of the population have access to technology, leaving the 96 percent on the other side of the divide, he added.

Pena said he agrees with President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo that more than the bringing of investments and creating of high value jobs, information technology should help uplift the condition of the poor.
