It's official—a major leadership shift has just happened in our tech sector! 🚨🇵🇭 President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has appointed former Social Security System (SSS) CEO and President Robert Joseph Montes de Claro as the new Secretary of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT). 🏛️💼 He steps into this massive role at one of the most critical times for the Philippine digital landscape. Right now, the agency is juggling monumental tasks: defending against rampant cyberattacks, regulating social media giants, pushing for government blockchain transparency (like the new COMPASS portal), and trying to foster a globally competitive local startup ecosystem. 🌐🛡️ With so many pressing issues on the table, the new Secretary is going to need a solid game plan. So, we want to pass the mic to you—the actual users, builders, and investors in the Philippine tech space. ⚙️ If you had a direct line to Sec. de Claro today, what is the very first regulation, policy, or project you would urge him to implement? Should he focus on stricter penalties for scammers? Better support for local fintechs? Or maybe just ensuring faster and cheaper internet nationwide? 📡🔐 Drop your ultimate day-one priority for the new DICT Chief in the comments below! Let's get the community's voice heard! 🗣️👇
