On the assumption that you heard/read the SONA of the President last month, (July 2000), identify at least 3 areas related to ICT and identify how the

StateOf the Nation Address


The ninth and the last STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS OF President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for 2009 was delivered at the joint session of the Congress of the Philippines on July 27, 2009.

The SONA can be summarized into her accomplishments despite the criticisms and her challenges to the presidential wannabes.

Since this is her last term, instead of her scorecard for one year, she enumerated the
long term projects that she started, inherited and finished her during the term together with the policies that she implemented concerning education, environment and economy.

These are important developments because whoever will become the leader next year will be inheriting the benefits or the problems brought by GMA’s legacy.

She did complain that her popularity was low because of the decisions that she had to adopt despite its being a bitter pill for Filipinos.

In closing, she expressed her belief on the resilience and unity of the Filipinos to weather the storms that may come by in our shores.

I feel that she had done her best fighting the critics as well as her political adversaries and at the same time trying to lead a country so divided as many as political parties there are and hopeful heirs to the throne that speculations about her perpetuating her power are like ghosts that haunt them until she has really step down.


there are some areas related to ICT.


Information and Communication Technology Department

>>ICT dept. will help a lot for the improvement of the Filipinos quality of life. From the word itself, Information and Communication, it will help in processing and managing the information system of our country as well as the communications system. In having an ICT department the process of information nationwide will be monitored. It involves the resolution of the risks associated in processing information, the information that will use for government purposes. The data that is gathered by the municipalities that helps the Local Government Unit for documentation of necessary data needed to certify a citizen in their localities. And even for the government to know the exact population of each of the municipalities.

The ICT department will also help the local government offices to do their work easier just like collecting taxes, documenting personal information of the citizens and etc. not only the process of information will be monitored, but also in the communication. It helps the Filipino to save money in terms of buying loads, because it will lessen the times the loads are being missing in action and lessen the times that the calls will be dropped. With these, the quality of life of the Filipinos will be improved because it will lessen the hassle in communication more importantly in the business industry. In having ICT department it will help the economy will be uplifted.

BPO

>>Business process outsourcing (BPO) is a form of outsourcing that involves the contracting of the operations and responsibilities of a specific business functions (or processes) to a third-party service provider. Originally, this was associated with manufacturing firms, such as Coca Cola that outsourced large segments of its supply chain.[1]. In the contemporary context, it is primarily used to refer to the outsourcing of services.

BPO is typically categorized into back office outsourcing - which includes internal business functions such as human resources or finance and accounting, and front office outsourcing - which includes customer-related services such as contact center services.

BPO that is contracted outside a company's country is called offshore outsourcing. BPO that is contracted to a company's neighboring (or nearby) country is called nearshore outsourcing.


Automated Election

>>Having the automated election has advantage and disadvantages. One of its advantages is that the electing of candidate will become easier. And also the counting of votes will last only for 3-5 days unlike before; people spend couple of minutes in writing candidates name in ballots. Counting of votes lasts for couple of weeks. And the government spends lot of money in buying new ballot boxes, and even paying people to count votes. Another advantage is that whenever someone will call for a recount the comelec can easily show results of their counting because having automated election includes proper documentation it can also view or show in what area or localities is a candidate cast many votes.
