Gracing the opening ceremony of the Department of Science and Technology’s (DOST) National Science and Technology Week on July 24, DILG Secretary Mar A. Roxas affirmed this welcome development in his keynote address.

 

The Department of Science and Technology’s (DOST) Free Wi-Fi Internet Access in Public Places project will be a huge step toward providing better living conditions for Filipinos in rural areas.

This was revealed by  officials from DOST’s Information and Communications Technology (ICT)  Office during a recent press briefing for the project launch on July 24, 2015 as part of the activities lined up for the Science Department’s National Science and Technology Week (NSTW) from July 24-28, 2015 at SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.
