here

#_ Anyway, if ever we could make that symposium/seminar, siguro naman at least

One of the people we should invite is Presidential IT Adviser - Virgilio
Pena.
This is the man in charge of turning our government into an e-government.
There was an article/interview with him in the Philippine Star: NetWorks
section dated Friday, August 24, 2001
I think there is a bill in congress to establish the Department of
Information and Communication Technology; and if that pushes through this man
might be the one to head it.
