Outdated laws shackling digitalization program

THE head of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) strongly believes legislative reforms can help accelerate the government's digitalization program.

"A lot of our regulations and laws were designed for the past industrial age. We are now in the fourth industrial age and there are a lot of things happening that cannot be addressed by archaic laws that tie our hands and restrict us from moving forward," DICT Secretary Ivan John Enrile Uy said during an interview on SMNI's "Business and Politics," a weekly program hosted by The Manila Times Chairman Dante "Klink" Ang 2nd.
