A new House Bill has been filed that aims to institutionalize the open electronic learning school system that allows students to receive the educational services they need without having to go to their classes regularly. Students can use the Internet and other multimedia technologies as a learning alternative. To ease this coming school year's distance learning, students and teachers alike are in need of smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers for education. Stay tuned for additional details on VP Leno Robredo's Tara na't mag-bayanihan para sa distance learning program. The Department of Education is pushing for the modernization of our public education system by opening a new digital learning hub in Manila just ahead of the upcoming school year.

The Philippines is working to mirror this focus as national education spending recently reached 4% of the country's GDP for the first time.
