The Role of Local Journals in Advancing Information Technology Research in the Philippines by Dr. Rafael Saldaña
PHILIPPINE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY JOURNAL (PITJ)
Volume I. Number 1. February 2008. p. 2.
A Publication of the Computing Society of the Philippines (CSP), Inc. and the Philippine Society of Information Technology Educators (PSITE), Inc.
Editor’s Notes:
The Role of Local Journals in Advancing Information Technology
Research in the Philippines*
Rafael Saldaña
Editor-in-Chief
Philippine Information Technology Journal
raffysaldana@gmail.com
There is no doubt that information technology (IT) plays a vital role in today’s society. Every facet of one’s life is practically linked to IT. The Internet, one of the marvels of modern society, has spawned several industries and fueled considerable economic growth. But the Internet did not develop overnight. It is a product of academic researchers who made such revolutionary technologies possible.
Information technology contributes immensely in advancing knowledge in many fields of endeavor. For example, information technology enables scientists and academics to collaborate remotely on common research projects which speed up the process of discovery and the search for new knowledge.
Sadly, many schools and institutions in our country lack access to one key ingredient in the promotion of information technology research -- the availability of local journals in information technology.
It is for this reason that in the year 2005 the Computing Society of the Philippines (CSP) founded a local journal dedicated to advancing computing research in the country. Thus, the Philippine Computing Journal (PCJ), the official publication of the Computing Society of the Philippines was born. The PCJ is primarily the outlet of research papers presented during annual conventions of the CSP – the Philippine Computing Science Congress (PCSC), and other CSP-initiated research fora such as the Symposium on Mathematical Aspects of Computer Science (SMACS) and the Workshop on Modeling, Simulation and Scientific Computing (MODEL).
But what about IT educators that are not yet within the sphere of CSP?
To help further develop IT research in the country, the Computing Society of the Philippines has teamed up with the Philippine Society of Information Technology Educators (PSITE) to produce a journal of information technology, the PITJ or Philippine Information Technology Journal, which is aimed at promoting greater participation from IT educators in doing IT research in our country.
We recognize the important role of local journals in advancing IT research in the Philippines. In evaluating IT programs in schools, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) looks for the schools’ subscriptions to local IT journals. Now, schools in the Philippines are given more options.
We hope that with the publication of local journals such as the Philippine Computing Journal and the Philippine Information Technology Journal, IT research in the Philippines will prosper.

Welcome to De La Salle Canlubang.
We are most privileged to host the First National Inter-Collegiate Programming Competition (ACM ICPC Philippines 2007).
As a national competition among the best Computer Science majors in the country that would select the contestants to be sponsored to the regional competition in Singapore and eventually the world finals in Alberta, Canada, the ACM ICPC Philippines 2007 is a veryworthwhile project.
Barely 5 years old, De La Salle Canlubang is happy to be a part of ICPC 2007.
I congratulate the Computing Society of the Philippines (CSP) for organizing the event in cooperation with such a prestigious organization as the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM).
Education is one essential key to moving the country forward. Being the science and technology campus of the De La Salle Philippines, with a Lasallian education tradition that is turning 100 years in the year 2011, we look forward to joining hands with the CSP, ACM, and the many universities in the country in being at the forefront of computer science educationand research.
I hope that the ACM ICPC Philippines 2007 would facilitate educational experiences that will help Computer Science majors in their future careers as much as helping our country achieve prosperity for everyone.
In St La Salle,
Br. Joaquin S. Martinez FSC, D. Min.
President, De La Salle Canlubang

Information Technology and Sen. Francis 'Kiko' Pangilinan
(Photo captions: Philippine Senate Majority Floor Leader Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan is shown while giving an inspirational talk to the Y4IT '07 participants. Photos taken by Raffy Saldaña.)
Note: During the Philippine Youth Congress in Information Technology '07 held September 12 - 14, 2007 at SM City North Edsa (See http://raffysaldana.blogspot.com/2007/09/y4it-2007-philippine-youth-for.html), I met Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan, the Philippine Senate Majority Floor Leader. I gave the Opening Remarks on September 14, and Senator Kiko was one of the speakers after my talk. We had a brief chat during the break and I asked him about the status of the automation of the Philippine elections (Note: I was a member of the Senate Technical Working Group that pushed for the automation of the Philippine elections). Senator Kiko told me that he supports the automation.
Below is the message of Sen. Kiko Pangilinan to the participants of Y4IT '07:
