Acer Philippines Teams up with Manila Mayor Isko Moreno to Deploy New Computers to City Libraries

Acer, one of the leading computer manufacturers known worldwide, has donated 42 Acer powered desktop computers for Manila Mayor Isko Moreno’s Digital Literacy for All project.

The Manila Mayor’s ‘Digital Literacy for All’ project aims to teach digital skills to every person in the city, which will be beneficial for their works or daily lives. Moreover, the new desktop computers will help Manilenos with their lessons and research, as these computers will have internet connectivity. However, the Manila Mayor warned that these computers are deployed in the libraries for the sole purpose of seeking knowledge and not personal consumption. Aside from digital literacy, the project will also include spaces inside public libraries for Manilenos to do group discussions, meetings, and other collaborative engagements that will promote teamwork and boost productivity.

The 42 Acer desktop units will be distributed to 11 Manila City public libraries. Along with the Manila-Sacramento Friendship Library are San Nicolas Public Library, Tondo Public Library, Valeriano E. Fugoso Library, Main LibraryRef.
