ASUS update #1
Last July 9, ASUS, through its ASUS Foundation, donated 40 brand new computers to the Sun Valley E-learning Digital Center of the Dr. Arcadio Santos National High School - Sun Valley Annex in Paranque City as part of the APEC Digital Opportunity Center Project entitled ADOC 2.0. The computers will benefit some nine hundred (900) high school students. The said project aims to help thousands of students gain access to the vast information currently available online and train them with sufficient computer skills needed to survive in the new digital age.
Gracing the occasion were Paranaque Congressman Roilo Golez (2nd District), MECO Ambassador Antonio Basilio, TECO Ambassador Donald Lee, ASUS Foundation Director Wen-Ling Lee, OIC Principal Thelma F. Montiel and representative of ASUS Philippines.
In addition to the 40 desktops, twenty (20) ASUS Eee PCs were donated for a mobile education truck in Paombong, Bulacan.
Back in 2003 APEC meeting in Bangkok, Taiwan initiated the APEC Digital Opportunity Center (ADOC) with the goal of bridging the digital divide among APEC Economies. So far, ADOC has been able to collaborate with seven APEC economies (Chile, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Peru, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam).
