What is the Purpose of DICT?

The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is an agency of the Philippine Government responsible for the development and implementation of information and communications technology (ICT) policies, plans, and programs.

The Department is responsible for the operation of government data centers, the National Broadband Plan, public-private partnerships in ICT infrastructure development, regulation of telecommunications services and products, telecommunications standards development and promotion of digital literacy programs.

Brief History

On January 12, 2004, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo issued Executive Order No. 269, which created the ICT Commission. This transitory measure created the DICT.

The Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) was composed of various government agencies that deal with communications, such as the National Computer Center and the Telecommunications Office. Other agencies that were involved in the project were the Philippine Postal Corporation and the NTC.

The CICT then took over the functions of the ICTEC, which was abolished through Executive Order 334 on July 20, 2004.

In August 2005, the NTC was transferred back to the Department of Transportation and Communications. According to Executive Order 454, the move would help improve the efficiency of the agency’s operations. However, it was also debated if the NTC should be placed under the CICT due to how it is an unusual commission to fall under another body.

In February 2007, the TELOF and other CICT units dealing with communications were transferred to the DOTC. The move was made to help improve the efficiency of the agency’s operations and promote the fast and reliable development of the country’s communication networks. EO 603 stated that the transfer was necessary due to the increasing demands for government services and the need to streamline bureaucracy operations. Following the transfer, the CICT now has only two agencies: the PhilPost and the National Communication Commission.

On August 6, 2007, the NTC was transferred back to the CICT. However, the order was only published on December 24, 2008.

On January 29, 2009, the TELOF and other units of the Department of Transportation and Communications were transferred back to the CICT. This move allowed the agency to maintain its original composition.

Various bills in the House of Representatives and Senate sought to create the DICT, which would serve as an executive department for the CICT. One of these, which was approved on third reading on August 5, 2008, was sent to the Senate for its final approval.

A consolidated bill that sought to create the DICT was also sent to the Senate for its final approval on August 19, 2008. However, it did not make it past second reading and was declared as dead by the end of the 2010 Congress. Since the bill was not able to pass through the House and Senate, it will have to be refiled in the next Congress. The failure of Congress to pass the bill means that the president can now dissolve the CICT.

On June 23, 2011, President Aquino signed an executive order that consolidated the various operations of the CICT and assigned them to the Science and Technology Department. The order also abolished the positions of the commissioners and chairman of the agency. The executives of the country’s business process outsourcing (BPO) companies were not pleased with the order.

The law that created the DICT, Republic Act 10844, was signed on May 20, 2016. Some of the executive departments that deal with communications, such as the DOTC, will either be transferred or abolished.

The law provided for a six-month transition period following the transfer of the functions and assets of the various executive departments. The DICT was officially established on June 9, 2016.
