Tech Talk: Gov. Chatto: Bohol ICT Industry Next Major Source of Jobs

Bohol Governor Edgar Chatto told attendees to the ICT Council Meeting that Bohol’s Information and Communications Technology or ICT industry will be the next major source of jobs for Boholanos. The meeting was held at the Governor’s mansion on September 17, 2010 and was attended by the representatives from PLDT and Globe Telecom, DepEd, BLCI, BWUI, BOHECO, DTI, Bankers Association, academe and the various ICT industry players. Ms. Emmelou Versoza-Delfin from the Commision on Information and Communications Technology reported that the top 10 New Wave Cities or cities that are potential locations for call centers and other business process outsourcing does not include Bohol yet. In the scorecard maintained by the CICT, Bohol scored 100% on cost of operations, but has a very poor 46% on manpower criteria. Surprisingly, Bohol scored on the high 70s for infrastructure and business activity and this was due to the presence of airport, seaports and the active business community represented by the Bohol Chamber of Commerce and the ICT Council. In the past years, government officials were not optimistic about the ICT industry due to the perceived requirement of a fiber optic connection from Bohol to Cebu. However, the officers from PLDT and Globe Telecom explained that the method of data transport is irrelevant because the telco companies will deliver the specifications based on the service level agreement or SLA and capacity using whatever data transport technology is used. The two telcos presented their current capabilities in Bohol. PLDT showed their multiple microwave links to Cebu and Dumaguete as well as their newly implemented ‘fiber in the loop’ interconnecting the various cell sites...

Availability of Internet access has increased tremendously in the past few years that more and more homes and individuals are connecting to the Internet at affordable costs. This has increased the use of the Internet by consumers who are looking for products and services. A number of Bohol SMEs have started to adopt online marketing to take advantage of the Internet in their marketing efforts. Resorts and restaurants, traders of handicraft, real-estate agents and business organizations like the Bohol Chamber of Commerce have started to tap this relatively new media to help get more customers.

The reach of a company’s website is virtually unlimited and it levels the playing field, giving the small firms and new entrants the same potential market reach as the large and established competitors.

Pamilacan Island Dolphin and Whale watching tours launches new website

The famous dolphin and whale watching tour guide agency has launched a new tourism- oriented site which aims to raise the agency’s marketing efforts so that potential tourists from around the world will take an interest in coming to Bohol to watch dolphins and whales up close. The PIDWWT provides the best dolphin and whale watching experience here in Bohol. The spotters and local guides are former hunters of dolphins, Bryde’s whales, manta rays and whale sharks in Pamilacan. To date, these hunters have turned into stewards of the sea. The PIDWWT was primarily established by Mr. Joselito “Jojo” Baritua, to market the dolphin and whale watching tours as a new eco-tourism product. The deeper aim however, was to provide a viable alternative livelihood to the families affected by the government ban on the hunting and trade of dolphins, whales and recently the ban on whale sharks and manta rays. This idea has now turned into a successful reality thanks to the efforts of Sir Jojo and the cooperation of the new guardians of the sea. For more information on the Pamilacan Dolphin and Whale Watching Tours, visit their new website at www.cebu-boholtours.com. The site is maintained and hosted by Auza.net. Share...
