                    [Summary] => 
Despite the government’s strong focus on information and communications technology (ICT), the Philippines still falls short of world standards, ranking only 70th among 115 economies in a survey on network readiness.


Other Asian countries, however, were praised "for doing extremely well" this year and making it into the top 50, particularly Taiwan which entered the top 10 for the first time.

"We have sent abroad our best English-speaking programmers, engineers and computer technicians, but we have still a big surplus of well-trained IT graduates," said Angara.


"I think we have to have a mindset that the Philippines’ many industrial hubs can become the next Silicon Valleys," he added.
