The newly elected officers of the Information and Communications Technology Journalists Association of the Philippines, also known as CyperPress, are set to be inducted on Friday, December 19 in Makati City.
As in the previous years, DOST undersecretary and ICT Office executive director Louis Casambre will administer the induction ceremony. The event will serve as the Christmas party of the organization.
The 2015 set of officers are Timothy James Dimacali, of GMA News Online (President), Alma Anonas-Carpio, Philippines Graphic (Vice-President for Externals), Jing Garcia, InterAksyon.com (Vice-President for Internals). Jason Domantay, Asian Food Channel and mynameisbella.com (Secretary), Verns Joven, Philippine Star (Treasurer).
Also elected are Marlon Magtira, of Newsbytes.PH and techTV.ph (Membership Committee Head) and Melvin Calimag, of Newsbytes.PH (Constitutional Amendments Head).
Appointed as sectoral representatives are Raffy Pedrajita, of DigitalSpidey.com (for new media) and Paolo Luis Montecillo of the Philippine Daily Inquirer (for traditional media).
In his message to the ICT press corps, Dimacali said, “For close to two decades, Cyberpress has followed the stellar — some would say meteoric — rise of Philippine IT, and continues to do so today even as the organization itself has seen much change over the years.”
“We look forward to 2015 with new goals and new horizons that, we hope, continue closely in step with the shifting tides of the industry we watch after,” Dimacali added.
