Transforming our local governments (i.e., provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays) into eLGUs so we will have more transparent, effective and efficient public administration and governance systems that will carry our country to the 21st century and beyond is just one of the big tasks that make grassroots knowledge workers think about the necessity of creating a DICT. This is not to mention the need for digital readiness and capacities among our extant national government agencies and even those vital institutions in the private sector to plan, implement and manage well much-needed ICT4D programs and projects for our people.
We've been talking about our country being lagging far behind many countries in terms of ICT and socio-economic development, in general. But we, as a people, most especially some of our leaders and their lieutenants, don't seem to be serious at all about doing something hard that will address the situation. Worse, we even seem to be backtracking.
