From Business World - Pres Aquino signs into law RA 10844 which creates DICT
The House Bill 6198 which seeks to create a stand alone Department of Information and Technology was forwarded to the OP last May 10, 2016. and signed into a law last May 23, 2016 as RA 10844 It was approved by the House of Reps in third and final reading in October 2015. It was second time that such bill was passed. The House failed to transmit this to the OP. Pnoy saw no urgency for such a measure (What when we have the slowest internet speed in the Philippines)
The bill consolidates the IT related offices under DOST and DOTC. The DOTC simply becomes a stand alone department of Transportation (so that it can focus on the Trains)
The new department it is hoped can address the slow internet speed in the Philippines
