Wikimedia Philippines officers went out to Pangasinan for an outreach project dubbed as Open Web Day. It is a partnership project between the Provincial Government led by Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr. And Wikimedia Philippines (WMPH). According to Butch Bustria, Vice President of the Wikimedia Philippines Foundation, Open Web Day aims to reactivate Pangasinan’s page on Wikipedia as it has very limited activity.

We have been contemplating for quite sometime on how to introduce Google Apps for Edu for Pangasinan schools. The Provincial Government thru Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr. wanted to help in upgrading the quality of education in the province, helping students and educators learn and teach with technology and so an exploratory meeting is being set up with the Pangasinan Digital team and Google Inc.’s champion for Google Apps for Edu, Janet Yoon. During the meeting we asked her how do we start with the project, what do we need to do, what are we going to prepare? We also asked her if they could train our team to be able to effectively pitch it to our partners. And she affirmed that indeed, they could help us. We are excited about this project and we hope to execute this soon for the benefit of our pupils, students and the academe.

Dasol is a town in Western Pangasinan, just right after Mabini and Burgos. It boasts of beautiful and Boracay-like beaches, salt farms and marine bounties such as lobsters, squid, crabs and prawns. Dasol is also known for its Duhat and Bignay wine. They also have a new and elegant municipal building where government transactions and services are being rendered. A brief chat with Mayor Noel Nacar revealed that his town has a big potential in terms of tourism activities and investment. He said that promoting Dasol is quite a challenge but with the help of Dasolinians in and out of the town, they can make Dasol another tourist destination in the west. 1Digitech Philippines, Inc. is a proud partner of promoting the town of Dasol and its potentials.

Its been awhile since I shared a story on this blog. I had a lot of things going on lately. Got websites to develop, audio-visuals to supervise, a new group in Baguio to launch, a new set of ORM prospects, Region 1 expansion, speaking engagements in Baguio, in Vigan and in Eastern Pangasinan plus of course a major client to monitor. Yeah. I’m not busy after all. I did this photo supposedly to join a contest but unfortunately, I can’t connect to the internet in our house in Baguio City, so i wasn’t able to upload it. I find it relative to Blogger’s new interface. Its improvement is better for bloggers like me. It is better today than it was yesterday and so I am, too.

Today, a leading premier province in the North with life and investment thriving, pulsing and full of opportunities. Yet the province is still restless and pushing boundaries ready to thrust into the wave of the future. Going digital is the wave of the future and is considered the missing link that will fully optimized Pangasinan’s vision of economic advancement and development specially in its way of doing business in the government.

Thus the Provincial Government is staging the 1st Pangasinan Digital ICT Congress as its first step towards, stepping up the game as...

As many people are spending their holidays somewhere else, many chose to stay at home due to bad weather. Upon return to my beloved province, there was a new project waiting for our team. The I love Pangasinan video, we were to gather video clips from interviewees of different people in Pangasinan. Next our proposed project for the Governor was approved by the Provincial Administrator. Sir Raffy , as he is fondly called is supportive of projects related to information technology. He knows that the society is going also with the digital shift. And an event to showcase all of those things like the Pangasinan Digital ICT Fair is ready to roll out.
