The COVID-19 pandemic has caused massive disruptions in various industries in the Philippines. Notably, it has highlighted the value of technology and paved the way for organizations to jumpstart or hasten their digital transformation journey. It has also accelerated the digital revolution, emphasizing the need for innovations like fintech payments, WFH arrangements, and remote or distance learning.
However, many would agree that the digital infrastructure in the country is still in its juvenile stage. Compared to more tech-savvy ASEAN countries like Singapore or Malaysia, the Philippines still lags behind as it grapples with issues that impede the development of digital revolution enablers.
A fine testament to this fact is the less than ideal online classes setup for Filipino students. Both students and teachers complain about several factors that affect the effectiveness of the classes, such as poor internet connectivity, lack of access to proper equipment, and fundamental tech skills gap.
Notably, the unprecedented health disaster that shook the world has raised awareness of the most pressing concerns that the government must prioritize. The pandemic has also pushed Filipinos to break old habits like relying on manual processes and physical transactions. It has also begun to crush obsolete notions on the value of computer science, computer engineering, IT, and ICT, especially for the parents of budding talents who want to pursue a computer-related degree.
On top of that, the crisis has opened doors of opportunities to driven and eagle-eyed startup founders who work hand in hand with government institutions like the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).
Indeed, the path to digital revolution for the country is a long and winding road. Like any other COVID-19 stricken country, the PH has to adapt and answer quickly to the challenges that come with the digital revolution. More importantly, both the government and its people need to work hand in hand to make things happen.
