DIGIPLUS Interactive Corp., through its social development arm, BingoPlus Foundation, supported the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT)'s vision of creating a digitally advanced and resilient Philippines.

The company supported the DICT Expo: Bayang Digital, Bagong Pilipinas, held at the Philippine International Convention Center last June 3. The expo was part of a series of activities in celebration of the National Information and Communications Technology (NICT) month.

This year's NICT month, aptly themed "Bayang digital ang bagong Pilipinas," emphasized the importance of leveraging ICT and other means to provide efficient government services, enhance cyber safety and extend limitless opportunities for Filipinos.

Earlier this year, DigiPlus Interactive announced its plan to allocate more than P100 million for its advocacies to promote a digitally advanced and resilient Philippines. Among its advocacy pillars were technology education and responsible digitalization.

These programs included FutureSmart Scholarships and The plus Factor program to bridge quality education and leadership development with high potential young tech talents.

Efforts to promote responsible digitalization included the Digi Buddy volunteer program, which helped equip target sectors with the right tools and behaviors as Filipino netizens. The responsible gaming campaign taught the right habits when playing games online, encouraging Filipinos to multiply the fun by keeping it safe in the digital world.

DigiPlus Interactive and BingoPlus Foundation continued to celebrate NICT month with the DICT by joining its culminating activity, a TechTalk Series with youth leaders, titled "Tech ready youth: Empowering responsible skills."
