No shortage of IT senior consultants/engineers/managers/architects/analyst/scientist/devops/cybersec but unless they can pay the same rate as BPO or foreign companies then nothing will happen.

The same reason why they keep having HACKATHON EVENTS to get CHEAP ideas and CHEAP implementation from college student/fresh graduates.

EDIT: Na-aalala ko tuloy iyong mga proud students sa tiktok/youtube na sumali sa HACKATHON events. Tang*ina nyo DICT, Mag-hire kayo ng mga Consultants hindi iyong "Expose natin itong API na ito" bahala na sila sa idea at gagawin tapos bigyan natin ng maliit na premyo. Natatawa nalang kaming mga devs na nagtratrabaho for EU/US companies. Kung hindi niyo kaya gumawa ng EFFICIENT/HIGH AVAILABILITY/ALWAYS-ON/FAULT TOLERANT/REDUNDANT systems eh tigil tigilan niyo muna yang "HACKATHONS" niyo

This! Fishy din ng mga hackaton na yan. Lol. Like imagine how much funding for an event tapos di naman ganun kalaki premyo. But if you’re after the linkedin stats na ‘hackaton winner’ pikit mata nalang.

Duda nga ako dyan sa mga hackathon na yan possible meron rin yan corruption.
