About the Author

My name is Anjorie Mae Marchan. I'm from Bohol Philippines. I'm 23 years old. I'm a college student and currently living in Taguig City. I used to play volleyball and computer games. I love travelling, it is so fun and it really makes my life complete. Everytime I visit different places, I’ve always forgot to take a photo. So disgusting that later, I realized I wasn’t able to take some pictures with the places I go. I am the only girl with my five brothers and my parents broke up when I was 9 years old. At first, it was so hard to accept as it hurts. It really hurts for me to think that I belong to the term broken family. But for years pass, I used to it already though, I really don't have a chance, but to accept and move on. Life gets better only when you realize that there’s a wonderful future waiting for. I was inspired to write a blog about how broadband would be helpful if it would be implemented. Of course, not all of us can afford to have a bro...

Implementing a Broadband Centralized Communication System in the Philippines

Broadband Centralized Communication System is the great infrastructure challenge and it is a foundation for economic growth, job creation, global competitiveness and a better way of life.  It is changing technology on how we educate children and enable improvements in public education through e-learning and online content, which can provide more personalized learning opportunities  for students.  (BCCS) can also facilitate the flow of information, helping teachers, parents, schools and other organizations to make better decisions tied to each student’s needs and abilities. Through Broadband Centralized Communication System, all information needed by the national government can easily be managed because of real time information and data updates.

In lieu of books and papers, students can access modules, submit assignments, and consult with ...

ARTICLE# 3: Energy and the Environment

Broadband Centralized Communication System (BCCS) can play a major role in the transition to a clean energy economy. The people can use these innovations to reduce carbon pollution, improve our energy efficiency and lessen our dependence on foreign oil. Our aging electrical grid is a patchwork of outdated infrastructure. It's not just a system that delivers energy inefficiently -- the country’s electric grid is increasingly vulnerable to failure and attack. To ensure Philippine energy independence and efficiency, broadband and other advanced communications technologies must be used to modernize the grid. Paired with high-tech tools, like dynamic management software and remote sensors, broadband will be crucial to advancing innovations in renewable power, grid storage, and vehicle electrification. For too long the innovation of computing and communications has not been applied to energy management and efficiency. Families and businesses know almost nothing about t...

ARTICLE# 4: Government Performance and Civic Engagement

Within government, Broadband Centralized Communication System (BCCS) can drive greater efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery and internal operations. It can also improve the quantity and quality of civic engagement by providing a platform for meaningful engagement with representatives and agencies.

ARTICLE# 6: Public Safety and Security

Broadband Centralized Communication System (BCCS) can bolster efforts to improve public safety and security by allowing first responders to send and receive video and data, by ensuring all Nationals can access emergency services and improving the way the Nationals are notified about emergencies. The installation of CCTV systems to our Barangays will be able to centralize the real-time monitoring of the status and situation of each barangay, and integrating them to Central Monitoring System. It will be helpful also in disaster monitoring from barangay level up to the national level. Interconnecting all government agencies can also be accomplished through the centralized monitoring system. Government must support deployment of a nationwide, public safety broadband network. by sufficient funding in billions of dollars in capital expenditures over 10 years, which could be reduced through cost efficiency measures and other programs.  BCCS for Public Safety and Sec...
