They say when it rains, it pours. Just a few days ago, I received the most beautiful news that I made it as a registered nurse in one of the most difficult exams ever given by the PRC-Board of Nursing. I was in cloud nine with my joy and happiness. And Yesterday I had the honor of meeting our president during her visit here in Davao City for Cybercorridor Tour at Concentrix, Damosa IT Park, Lanang, Davao City.
Busy. Documenting the event.
My work with ICT Davao, Inc. has indeed brought me to places. I had the honor and privilege of meeting practically the who’s who in the IT Industry not only here in Davao City but on the national level as well. My horizon has certainly broaden, and my experiences enriched.
So when the news of Pres. Arroyo meeting with the officers of ICT Davao came, I was excited and at the same time nervous.
GMA visited key outsourcing destinations (to include, Davao City as one of the next wave big cities) and met up with ICT stakeholders and media partners. She highlighted the achievements of her administration in terms of building digital infrastructure and encouraging the blossoming of the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry. There were 2,000 jobs when she assumed her presidency in the BPO industry but now it has 500,000.

The President also wanted to continue to reach out to the youth, who are the country’s future and employees of the BPO industry. According to her, ICT is the home of young individuals.
She also said on her speech, with her administration’s incentives to IT companies, internet cost went down to only a single digit and users have ballooned to 25 million. Almost 4,000 public schools have been connected to the internet.
There might be people who do not like PGMA, but I certainly respect the office that she held. She is certainly a power lady in every sense of the word. Gracious and dignified, knowing very well that most guests were famished from waiting, she dispensed the program and had the dinner served immediately.
Always a working president, she was busy meeting different personalities while having her dinner. And to think I was just seated a table apart from her. Everybody was left with a good impression of the president. She certainly has a way of making everyone feel welcome.
