In an optimistic future, the Philippinesβ progress would be fuelled by people-centered development. The public and private sectors would work together to ensure that the spaces that Filipinos live in β from physical cities to virtual social media platforms β prioritize well-being.
Both of the countryβs hard and soft infrastructure would prioritize the well-being of both humans and the environment.
Filipinos desire to have increased regulation and oversight over the technologies embedded in their everyday lives.
All of this development would be made possible through ubiquitous computing; technology would be so embedded in Filipinosβ lives to the point of being nearly invisible. As a result, the boundaries between the physical and digital world would become extremely blurred.
After living with broken and scattered systems for most of their lives, Filipinos dream of having structures that work seamlessly for them. So technology would be harnessed to simplify repetitive and tedious tasks, helping make services more accessible and lessening the burden on Filipinos, whether they're acting as users or workers.
Filipinos would effortlessly receive tailored recommendations that cater to their individual needs and preferences across every area of their lives; a world where algorithms predominantly guide decision-making would become commonplace.
Technologies like extended reality (XR) and livestreaming would blur the lines between physical and virtual experiences, fostering connectivity, accessibility, and engagement across various domains of life.
Therefore, thanks to tech-enabled progress, all Filipinos would have an increased quality of life; they'd have access to all that they'd need for a good life, from education to culture.
Learning and transacting would be made easier not only for those who can afford it, but also for those who cannot. Technology is used to bridge the gaps and disparities in society, creating more inclusive and interconnected systems that benefit all segments of the population.
Education and technology would collaborate to empower Filipinos, contributing to a more competitive, informed, and prosperous society.
Technology would enable Filipinos to live longer and more fulfilling lives by addressing blockers such as diseases + disorders, traffic congestion, and grunt work.
Filipinos would be actively working to preserve and decolonize their culture with the help of technologies like AI and social media.
