------- 
SUMMARY 
------- 
 
1.  Private companies are partnering with Philippine's network of 
5,443 public secondary schools to install computer laboratories by 
2010.  Over 800 schools have been connected to date, and 200 more 
will enjoy the benefits of these labs by December, 2006.  A USAID 
program has contributed hardware, software, training, and 
connectivity to 330 high schools in the conflict-affected area of 
Mindanao.   End Summary. 
 
------------------------ 
HISTORY OF COMPUTER LABS 
------------------------ 
 
2.  The 45-year old Ayala Foundation, founded to improve the quality 
of life of Filipinos, launched its Youth Tech program to install 
computers with internet connectivity in schools in 2000. 
Twenty-eight private corporations banded together in 2001 to form 
ConnectEd.  By the end of 2004, 170 high schools had internet 
connectivity compliments of Youth Tech, and ConnectEd had touched 
another 80 schools for a total of 323 high schools with internet 
access. 
 
3.  The Department of Trade and Industry started the Personal 
Computers for Public Schools (PCPS) program in 2004, aimed to 
increase computer literacy.  The Japanese donated computers to the 
Philippines via a government-to-government to place computer labs in 
2,096 public schools. 
 
----------------------------------------- 
PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP UPS THE ACCESS 
----------------------------------------- 
 
4.  Government and private corporations' efforts were fused and 
expanded in 2005 under the banner of "Gearing up Internet Literacy 
Access for Students" (GILAS).  Senator Manuel Roxas, the force 
behind PCPS when he was the Trade and Industry Secretary, and 
President and CEO of the Ayala Corporation, Jaime A. Ayala II, 
signed on as co-chairs of GILAS.  The vision of the project is to 
install computer labs in all of the Philippines' high schools by 
2010.  President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo endorsed this initiative 
and committed her team to working with GILAS for the program's 
successful outcome. 
 
5.  Dell Chairman Michael Dell inaugurated the GILAS program in 
Pasay City East High School near Manila in March 2006. Dell has 
donated a total of seven computers and provided training to high 
school students and teachers.  Dell employees 300 individuals in its 
new Manila call center, which will eventually reach 1,400 employees. 
 
 
6.  In a meeting with Ramon Sales, Chairman of the Commission on 
Information and Communications Technology, told EconOffs that the 
GRP earmarked 270 million pesos (1 USD = 52 Philippine Pesos) for 
this project in the 2005-06 budget.  Over 800 high schools 
throughout the country are connected, with an additional 200 
expected on-line by year-end.  Each lab contains 20 computers; 15 
dedicated for student use and five for the teachers and 
administration. 
 
------------------------------------------- 
USAID PROGRAMS FURTHER SUPPORT CONNECTIVITY 
------------------------------------------- 
 
7.  USAID's Computer Literacy and Internet Connection (CLIC) has 
complimented the GILAS program in the Autonomous Region in Muslim 
Mindanao and other conflict-affected areas of Mindanao by 
introducing computer and internet education into 330 high schools. 
CLIC will provide 270 more schools with up to ten computers, 
software, a printer, a local area network, and satellite or 
microwave-based internet connections. 
 
8.  USAID has partnered with several U.S. companies, including 
Microsoft, Intel, IBM, and Cisco Systems to provide hardware, 
software, and training at significantly reduced prices for these 
Mindanao high schools.  To date, 9,000 teachers and 300,000 students 
have benefited from CLIC.  USAID's arrangement with the Ayala 
Foundation enabled internet connections for 45 high schools in this 
province with computers from the GILAS program.

9.  These ambitious programs are a good start to help compensate for 
poorly stocked, out-of-date school libraries, promote more 
educational standardization, and help with computer literacy to 
enable high school graduates with their job searches.  Corporations 
seeking to start or expand call centers in the Philippines, as Dell 
has done, will be likely supporters of the GILAS program.  The USG's 
commitment to supply and connect Mindanao high schools add to this 
tremendous momentum.
