BUTUAN CITY – The Department of Information and Communications Technology in the Caraga Region (DICT-13) said free WiFi is now available at two university campuses in Surigao del Sur, as well as at the Tabuan Market and the City Hall here.
 
In a statement Thursday, the DICT-13 said free internet can now be accessed at the North Eastern Mindanao State University (NEMSU) Tandag main campus in Tandag City and at the NEMSU Bislig City campus, all in Surigao del Sur.
 
It said the free WiFi connection connectivity at the two NEMSU campuses in Surigao del Sur aims to provide more educational opportunities for students and faculty members.
 
The internet connectivity is part of the Free Wi-Fi for All Program of the agency.
 
“The free Wi-Fi at the Tabuan Market in Butuan and at the City Hall will strengthen economic and social opportunities and bridge the digital divide,” the DICT-13 said.
 
“These four newly integrated sites here in Caraga Region will contribute greatly to accelerating the Philippine government’s efforts in enhancing Internet accessibility for Filipinos,” the agency added.
