To reinforce the existing collaboration and advance key initiatives, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) visited Central Luzon State University (CLSU) on August 9, 2024. The discussion focused on several projects, including the establishment of the CLSU Tech4Ed Digital Transformation Center, the adoption of the Philippine National Public Key Infrastructure (PNPKI) digital signature to ensure secure online transactions, and the creation of a Point-of-Presence at CLSU for the National Broadband Plan. During the visit, DICT also introduced the eGovPH (Super) App, a one-stop public service platform that offers essential government services such as e-Travel, which streamlines immigration processes at airports; eLGU, which enhances business processes in local government units; and eReport, which allows the public to report emergencies and crimes. Other components include eGovPay, a secure government payment gateway, and eGovCloud, which centralizes cloud services for the government. The DICT delegation, led by Engr. Conrado P. Castro Jr., DICT Provincial Head, Nueva Ecija, along with Engr. John Erick Delos Reyes, Mr. Jayson Ryan Cunanan, Ms. Maila Jane Galang, and Engr. Jake Jefferson Matillano, was warmly received by CLSU President Dr. Evaristo Abella. Joining the reception were Dr. Khavee Agustus Botangen, Head, Department of IT, Dr. Nemesio Macabale Jr. Head, Information Systems Institute, Mr. Joey Fernando, and Mr. Ian Panahon. The ongoing collaborative activities, such as the engagement of CLSU students in the ICT Proficiency Diagnostic Examination and ICT Specialist Proficiency Examination, and participation in the Philippine Startup Challenge and HackForGov Competitions, were also discussed. Notably, CLSU has been recognized by DICT for two consecutive years (2022 and 2023) for its significant contributions to the implementation of ICT literacy and competency development programs. Several faculty members from the Department of Information Technology have been actively engaged as experts and resource speakers in various training programs, covering areas such as Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Web Applications Development, Quality Management Systems, Data Privacy Protection, and Computer Emergency Response Team Operations, among others.
