PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to hasten efforts to establish digital connectivity in remote communities, Malacañang said Tuesday.

'Let us establish first the connectivity. That's more important than anything else,' Marcos said in a meeting with DICT representatives on the National Digital Connectivity Plan (NDCP) 2024-2028 in Malacañang on Monday.
