Once more: Yes, the Filipino can.

In another rendition of the battle cry to push for global recognition for Filipino talents, a local software development firm is making the move in the global spotlight.

“Our dream is to create a Filipino technology company admired by the world,” said Carlen Martin Legaspi, president and CEO of Orange & Bronze Software Labs (O&B).

“We have very good software developers and great IT talents but there isn’t one Filipino IT company that we can point to that is the peer of global players,” Legaspi said.

Monchito Ibrahim, commissioner of the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT), who has more than 35 years’ experience in the ICT industry, graced the launch and lauded the move, saying ICT is one area where technopreneurs can be very successful, though the market space has changed a lot and there is going to be more competition.
