Much has been said about the Age of Information.

            The emergence of new technologies that impact on how we share information has revolutionized the way we do many things. Through these new technologies, the world is now a much smaller place with each of us linked to the rest of humanity at breakneck speed and thus provided with a lot of opportunities that were inconceivable prior to the arrival of these technologies. For us Filipinos, as it is for all others in the not-so-developed parts of the world, these new technologies have been a source of excitement and jubilation.

            At the thresholdof this Age of Information is an emergent knowledge-based-society the symbol of our new way of living. And borne out this are new opportunities for employment. As such, how we are able to harness our intellectual and technological abilities shall determine whether or not we can become the knowledge workers of the future. And while we compete with other countries in terms of technology that will empower a whole generation of Filipinos to land lucrative jobs.
