The Computer Manufacturers, Distributors and Dealers Association of the Philippines (COMDDAP) unveiled the latest and widest array of information and communications technology (ICT) products and services spread out on more than 1,800 square meters of space at COMDDAP Cebu 2006.

Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia led local officials and business leaders from Manila and Cebu in formally opening the event, which is considered the biggest ICT exhibit and selling show in the Visayas.

Plaza added, "The growth of the market in Cebu, spurred by incoming investments, increasing international trade and exports, has established its status as a business center that cannot be ignored at all

"Cebu's impressive governance which provides outstanding support to business and industry through infrastructure projects, and assistance to small and medium enterprises, has made it an object of envy and a model for many local governments elsewhere," Plaza said.
