As manager of digital program, I am responsible for developing proposals, securing funding, and managing the organization's projects on National ID, e-payments/e-invoicing, and e-commerce.

These roles require constant engagement with executives from companies/startups, key company representatives (usually from government/regulatory affairs team), funding agencies, government officials, etc. to explore potential/renewed collaborations and to further common policy outcomes. These are done via dialogues which I organize/help organize or via public fora. Part of my roles include being a moderator/facilitator in these activities to bridge communication among various stakeholders. I also manage the Business Matters column which appears every Saturday in Philippine Daily Inquirer. I am responsible for coordinating with regular columnists, researching/inviting guest contributors, and writing occasionally for the column.
