RESOLUTION NO. 164
(Series of 2008)

A RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING THE BATAAN – OLONGAPO – ZAMBALES EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (BOZE-DO-IT) AS THE OFFICIAL IT COUNCIL OF THE CITY

WHEREAS, the fast – paced evolution of Information Technology has brought countless opportunities in business and other sectors of society;

WHEREAS, the Bataan – Olongapo – Zambales – Subic Freeport area needs to explore its IT Business base, which is now a billion dollar industry;

WHEREAS, study shows that the area lacks the prescribed requirements for IT industries to thrive. The factors assessed were the area’s non-compliance to telecom redundancy requirement, no available building with adequate power back-up, very few IT graduates, low passing rate of students for IT related endeavors and the absence of an IT Council;

WHEREAS, with the entry of Globe Innove and PLDT as new telecom providers, stakeholders in the area seize the opportunity to avail of the benefits of the said technology. For this, an IT Council that will oversee the needs of the IT industries to make the area more viable as an IT hub in the country is deemed indispensable to help create wider job opportunities to our constituents;

NOW, THEREFORE, on motion of Councilor Edwin J. Piano, with the unanimous accord of the Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod present,

RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Sangguniang Panlungsod in session assembled, to recognize, as it hereby recognizes the Bataan – Olongapo – Zambales Educational Development Organization for Information Technology (BOZE-DO-IT) as the Official IT Council of the City.

APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY, October 15, 2008.
