00:00With the results that we have seen two years into this administration, we can claim that
00:05despite challenges, we are steadily progressing towards our targets in the medium term.
00:12Our power and internet services are continuously being upgraded in both capacity and connectivity.
00:20Sa ating free Wi-Fi program, halos sampung milyong unique user devices ang nakikinabang
00:26sa libreng internet sa mahigit labintatlong libong lugab sa buong Pilipinas.
00:33Nasasagap ito sa maraming ating mga paaralan at mga malalayo at liblib na mga po.
00:42Patuloy pa ang ating pinaparami ng mga libreng Wi-Fi sa buong bansa.
00:49As part of our nationwide internet infrastructure development, Phase 1 of the National Fiber
00:55Backbone has been completed and operationalized.
01:00Phase 2 and 3 have already begun early this year and shall be completed by 2026.
01:08This fiber backbone will give us sufficient capacity in terms of bandwidth.
01:13As of 2022, only 77% or 20.6 million households were connected to the internet.
01:23This is much too low.
01:25Together with our private sector partners, we will efficiently harness the concept of
01:30common towers to provide connectivity to Filipinos who are at the far end of the last mile.
01:37Expect full government support to ensure the successful completion of this critical project,
01:43including policy reforms and streamlined processes.
01:51Bigger and faster IT infrastructures require stronger and more impervious cyber defense.
01:58Our recently launched National Cyber Security Plan lays down the blueprint for us to safeguard
02:04our systems against cyber attacks.
02:07With this said, I have directed the agency's concern to ensure that the speed and quality
02:12of our IT development always mirrors the pace and trajectory of our economic aspirations.
