The Government of Japan, in cooperation with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) launched the Digital Transformation Center (DTC) in Mabalacat City, Pampanga on April 26, 2024.

The DTC is a significant component of the extensive Japan-ILO project: “Bringing Back Jobs Safely under the COVID-19 Crisis in the PH: Rebooting Small and Informal Businesses” launched in 2021. Funded by the Government of Japan, this project aims to foster economic recovery and resilience in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

First Secretary KANNO Chihiro from the Embassy of Japan conveyed the message during the ceremony, underscoring the value of digitalization especially in businesses as one of the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic. “The Government of Japan is honored to be part of this endeavor. Rest assured of Japan’s steadfast support for the Philippines as we put much value on the longstanding friendship between our two countries.”

The ceremony was also attended by Undersecretary Jeffrey Ian Dy of DICT, Mr. Hideki Kagohashi of ILO Philippines, Provincial Director Elenita Ordonio of Department of Trade and Industry, Director Cosmas Zavazava of International Telecommunications Union, Mr. Julius Cainglet of Federation of Free Workers, and Ms. Fe Bautista-Zulueta of Employers Confederation of the Philippines.
