MAS PINALAWAK NA DIGITAL ACCESS AT ONLINE OPPORTUNITIES, HATID NG DICT SA ANTIPOLO!

Marami pa ring mga estudyante, g**o, health workers, at komunidad ang nangangailangan ng mas mabilis at maaasahang internet access upang makasabay sa online learning, digital services, at mga oportunidad sa trabaho sa digital economy.

Kaya bilang pagtupad sa direktiba ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na palawakin ang digital access sa bansa, matagumpay na isinagawa ng Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Region IV-A CALABARZON, katuwang ang Lokal na Pamahalaan ng Antipolo City, ang Ceremonial Launch at Turnover ng Free Public Internet Access Program Sites, Tablets for Rural Health Units at Grant ng SPARK Training Vouchers noong 06 May 2026 sa ikalawang distrito ng Antipolo City, Rizal.

Sa ilalim ng Republic Act No. 10929, matagumpay na na-activate ang libreng internet para sa 56 locations kabilang ang mga paaralan, barangay halls, at health facilities upang mas mapalapit sa mamamayan ang digital learning, e-government services, at online opportunities.

Kasabay nito, patuloy ding pinalalakas ng Strengthening the Philippine Workforce through Adaptive and Responsive Digital Knowledge (SPARK) initiative ng DICT ang kakayahan ng mga Pilipino lalo na sa liblib na lugar sa pamamagitan ng digital skills training para maging handa sa ICT-enabled jobs at iba pang oportunidad.

Bukod dito, matagumpay din na naihatid ng DICT sa pakikipagtulungan ng United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) ang 12 na tablets para sa dalawang Rural Health Units upang suportahan ang mas episyente at modernong serbisyong pangkalusugan gamit ang digital technology.

Sa pamamagitan nito, mas napapalapit sa mga taga-Antipolo ang mga oportunidad sa edukasyon, trabaho, serbisyong pampubliko, at digital innovation na makatutulong sa pag-unlad ng kanilang komunidad.

Patunay ito sa patuloy na pagsusumikap ng pamahalaan na isulong ang inklusibong digital transformation at tiyaking walang Pilipinong maiiwan sa digital na pag-unlad.

A total of 56 Free Wi-Fi locations are now activated across the 2nd District of Antipolo City, covering schools, barangay halls, and health facilities, bringing faster access to digital learning, government services, and online opportunities closer to every Antipoleño.

Beyond connectivity, the Strengthening the Philippine Workforce through Adaptive and Responsive Digital Knowledge (SPARK) initiative continues to empower Filipinos with future-ready digital skills for ICT-enabled jobs and opportunities.

In partnership with the United Nations Development Programme, 12 tablets were also turned over to two Rural Health Units in the area to help strengthen healthcare delivery through digital innovation.

Echoing the vision of DICT Secretary Henry R. Aguda, this initiative goes beyond providing internet access, it aims to create meaningful impact by transforming lives through connectivity in this digital age.
