The Economic Journalists Association of the Philippines (EJAP), the country’s premier organization of business journalists, will hold its annual Infrastructure Forum on June 16 at Fairmont Hotel in Makati City.
With the theme “Government Infrastructure Program: What’s Been Achieved and What’s Next,” the forum aims to tackle government and private sector initiatives toward achieving modernized transportation and internet infrastructure.
Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Vivencio Dizon will deliver his keynote address highlighting the agency’s accomplishments during his first 100 days in office, as well as pipeline projects aimed at improving road, railway, aviation and seaport infrastructure.
Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Secretary Henry Aguda will discuss his office’s key priorities for expanding digital connectivity and strengthening cybersecurity, with a focus on expanding connectivity to underserved communities, particularly in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas.
“This year’s iteration of EJAP’s annual infrastructure forum will give stakeholders an exclusive look at how the government and private sector are working hand in hand to address challenges in the transportation and telecommunications sectors, especially at a time of rapid urbanization and artificial intelligence,” EJAP president Myla Iglesias-Acuña said.
