In a major push toward tech-driven community empowerment, National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) Undersecretary Roman Dannug and California Technological Care (CTC) Vice President & Country Director Herrie Raymond Rivera recently discussed a strategic partnership.
Spearheaded by NAPC Secretary Manny Pacquiao, the collaboration marks the official rollout of CTC’s Digital Home Economics (DHE) program across the Philippines. The initiative aims to harness modern technology for social good, equipping marginalized sectors with essential digital and practical skills designed to drive sustainable poverty alleviation nationwide.
The partnership is expected to roll out pilot phases in key regions, focusing on digital literacy, home-based economic productivity, and localized community development.
Headed by Kapampangan Demos Punsalan, CTC is a US-based NGO that has long been bridging the so-called digital divide. Its members are Fil-Am businessmen, mostly in Silicon Valley area, who have been extending various assistance to communities in the Philippines.
