Iloilo City pushes ICT as ‘top product’ but…
THE city government of Iloilo has been trying to cash in on the booming Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector as its “main product” to prospective investors but concerns on power supply are dampening the effort.
This was revealed by Department of Trade and Industry (DTI-Iloilo) provincial director Diosdado Cadena Jr. yesterday, citing the decision of the city government to adopt ICT as top project for the “One Town, One Product (OTOP)” program of the national government.
“We have complete facilities like fiber optics which is already in place and reliable. Added to this…is a large pool of human resources as the city is being considered an educational center,” Cadena explained.
Cadena said: “Iloilo City is producing some 16,000-18,000 graduates a year but sad to say, they are going out to look for work in other areas.”
