| ICT shall build the Filipino Nation, create an ‘imagined community’ |
 PRINTABLE VERSION |
According to Global Index/Meta Group Research, of 47 countries, Filipinos are the top Knowledge Workers of the World followed by Australians, Americans, Canadians and French. This only comes to show that the Filipino nation, if really united and pull its resources together can generate a great impact in the world.
Too many discussion and for a have been introduced and countless of write-ups have been made about ICTs and the society within “information”. Yet, through it all, the relation and importance of ICT remains unimaginable for many. By taking another look back at our glorious past, our rise and fall, I believe that we can be both at stare in nation building living in “information society” while being most competitive in the world through taking advantage of our knowledge-based expertise. Considering the ability of “Pinoy” (native term for Filipino) in many known fields, no questions asked, we will succeed.
Therefore, I say yes, the Filipino still can! And with ICTs as builder of one Filipino Nation and creator of an ‘imagined community’ through technological advances, we will be able to understand our natives and every nation’s culture. It’s all a click away. It may be tough but then again I dare: You wanna bet?
