(MDFI);  Academe – UP Open University (UPOU); International Development Agencies – telecenter.org; CeC Managers – Jimmy L. Calata (Nueva Vizcaya CeC); and CeC Users – Carolina Destacamento (Calamba, Laguna CeC).

PhilCeCNet is a multi-sectoral partner of the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) in the implementation of the Philippine CeC Program. The CICT, as lead agency for the PhilCeC Program, is an ex-officio voting member of the Council.
The Executive Council, which will serve as the implementing unit of the network, will be meeting some time soon to chart the network’s activities for the year.
