As the country tries to move forward to a better, more transparent government, the Department of Interior and Local Government has encouraged the LGU’s of the country to develop their own website. This is primarily for the purpose of transparency in their fiscal records, and so that the people will have easier access to the LGU officials themselves. This is an excellent move by the DILG as the government must never be left out in taking advantage of the technology that is available and reasonably affordable. Websites, aside from providing information, and as what we have been repeating, is a great tool for advertising or marketing. For instance, if the respective LGU has wonderful beaches to boast of, or products that are unique only to their place, they can put it on their website and the whole world gets a chance to see it and perhaps spend their money on it. Posters and flyers may work, but they are not cost-efficient and do not reach the other side of the world unless you commission someone to do it. Doubts on maintenance and security? The web already has a solution to that, the LGU just has to find the right people to develop their sites. Only a couple of local government units in Bohol are taking advantage of this technology as of now, but with the encouragement coming from the DILG itself, it will not be long that LGU’s will realize the importance and convenience of having one. An official website is not just for private businesses, it is however, even more essential to the government as it helps greatly...

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...

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. A company website is one of the primary tools that can be used for online marketing. 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.
