GITSRC Introduces Internet Business in the Provinces

The inter-island infrastructure project of the Philippine Long Distance and Telephone Company (PLDT) had inspired GITSRC to introduce the Internet Business in Samar and Leyte islands.

This pioneering project of GITSRC will not only enhance the Leyte and Samar economy but will also minimize the "brain-drain" phenomenon among the Leytenos and Samarnons who constitute a large computer expert positions in the Greater Manila Area, Cebu and abroad. There are also a great number of Computer Science graduates in these two provinces who remain unemployed.

As GITSRC is aiming to help businesses grow using the internet technology, expansions in some other Visayan islands and in Mindanao is a possible future investment.

According to Mr. Gerardo, there is a good potential and opportunities in these provinces and although late in the technological development and infrastructure, there got to be someone to trigger the implementation of "high-tech" businesses and probably compete in the future with the enterprises in the Greater Manila Area and Cebu. This will also revolutionize the high cost of "high-tech" services in the country."
