Icafe Pilipinas

“Challenging the Icafe Industry in the Philippines to do better”

In June of 2009, noting the deteriorating state of the internet cafe industry in the Philippines, a group of concerned internet cafe owners gathered together and decided to establish a national network of internet cafe owners, operators and associations around the country. Icafe Pilipinas was established to become the voice that would represent the interest and aspirations of each internet cafe owner, operator and associations in the Philippines. It hopes to provide a forum in which vital issues affecting the operations of the internet cafes could be addressed by the formulation of programs and linkages that aims for the total development of the industry.

Icafe Pilipinas believes in the internet industry and its important role in providing affordable internet access to the Philippine community. It believes that the internet cafe industry could provide greater opportunities and can contribute to community development. It believes that through proper education and training, the internet cafe owners, operators and the different icafe associations could be a great influence in the daily lives of the average Filipino through information communication technology.

Icafe Pilipinas believes in the following:

Community Building – the icafe owner is an integral part of today's community by providing affordable internet access to a majority of Filipinos who could not afford to have one at home or at work. He is the bridge that provides the community with access to the wider world of the internet.

Professionalism – the icafe owner should be aware of his great responsibility in operating an internet cafe in their respective community. As compared to other industries his business establishment creates a greater impact to the community in which he operates in that sometimes could change the lives of the people around him.

Ethical Use of Technology - “Great Powers means Great Responsibilities”, the internet cafe owner being in the fore front in the rapid changing technology should be guided on how to use these technology that would bring improvements in the lives of the people in their respective communities.

Social Entrepreneurship – engaging in business not only for profit. Internet cafe owners are socially aware to the effects of his business to his customers and the community.

hindi po. it is a national advocacy group dedicated to the causes and concerns of the internet cafe owner. it is about time that our collective voices is to be heard as a formal industry that represents one of the most dynamic field which is information technology.

it is time that the icafe industry would be recognized in its rightful place. for a number of years now we have been classified along with the videoke bars, girlie joints, billard places and gaming centers. it is not that i have anything against these business establishments but we should be recognized as centers that is offering affordable access to the internet and as a business that is in the for front of the changing technology.

it is not about politics. what it is support and linkages that would provide programs to upgrade the skills of the internet cafe owner in operating their business

it is not about regulations or enforcement. what it aims for is the total development and the upliftment of the whole icafe industry

sarap mangarap Restym but we have to realize that we don't have the millions of pesos needed in order to run a successful election campaign.

we start off small first then let us see what our combined voices and resources could attain. if we are destined to be become a party list then it would happen.

what we need right now is a common voice to create the dynamics to find solutions to our problems. mas madali kasing makipag usap tulad kay microsoft or kay intel to come up with a program to benefit the icafe owners, operators and associations.
