January 27, 2006 a significant day for the people behind Broadband over Power Lines as they formally launch the BPL Technology to the people of Bataan. The motorcade paraded the busy streets of Balanga marking the formal launching of the BPL technology. With the goal of "alleviating the digital divide and giving the opportunity to empower the way of learning", the Nextream Techonology Inc. donated not 1 but ten (10) hi-tech computer units with flat screen monitors, also inclusive of tables, chairs, web cam, speakers and one (1) air-conditioning unit and internet access. Mr. Tyrone Javellana the CEO of Nextream Technology Inc. and Gen. Pedro G. Dumol CEO of CORD (Father of Rural Electrification) formally turned over the computers to Dra. Simeona Emata Principal, Bataan National High School these units are now placed in their new IT building in a room known as the Adopt a Computer Laboratory Gen. Pedro G. Dumol. In return Gen. Dumol requested the students to teach the barangays and remote areas every weekend about computers.
Education and technology work hand in hand to engine our nation's progress, the youth, our driving force. Both of which if given enough opportunity will not only help us in our future needs, but also alleviate the increasing brain drain of our country and elevate the quality of education. |
