Where is the Philippines’ Silicon Valley?

Where should the Philippines build its Silicon Valley environment, asks Dennis Posadas, who is affiliated with the PESO Challenge.

He asserts:

If the Philippines is to reap the benefits of economic growth from technology entrepreneurship, it must build its Silicon Valley-type environment. This environment will encourage frequent networking and social interaction between the academe, venture capitalists and angels, returnee scientists and technopreneurs.

Then he talks about the characteristics of a “Silicon Valley” location, and his candidate locations.

Many in both the public and private sectors have been planning and working on this. I hope things fall into place.

What are your picks?
