In compliance to the Department of Educaton Curriculum under the ICT or (Information and Communications Technology) for Education, the Information Hub also known as iHub project in Bataan was launched for the Pilot schools at Mariveles National High School-Poblacion under the Municipality of Mariveles last October 18.
The launching program was started with the ribbon cutting by President Arroyo followed by the confirmation of the iHub computers connection and the speech of Governor Tet Garcia, Cong. Albert Garcia, Cong. Carissa Coscolluella and ended with the message delivered by the president herself.


Pres. Arroyo exclaimed that she is so thankful for the effort of the Officials of Bataan for initiating this kind of project. ‘I want every student nationwide to become computer literate. Kahit isang computer lang basta interconnected sa internet, yun ang importante kasi kung mayroon kang 20 computers kung wala namang connectiviy, walang matutunan kundi computer games lang kaya importante ang connectivity.’ thus said Mrs. Arroyo.
The stated project was realized through the leadership of Hon. Albert S. Garcia, Congressman of Bataan 2nd district and Hon. Carissa Coscolluela, Congresswoman of Buhay party list with the cooperation of Governor Enrique T. Garcia Sr., mayors of Bataan and diverse group of stakeholders deploying 500 computers, 14 laptops, 14 LCD TV’s, 14 WiFi routers, 14 printers and other computer accessories and productivity tools that will benefit more or less 24,000 students, 769 teachers and the community members.
The main goal of the Information Hub project is for computer users to maximize the utilization of information communications and technology and to build and ICT enabled community through the Bataan 2nd district Secondary Schools wherein the expected minimized ratio is at least 50 users for each computer connected with the international networking (internet) cables.
