hardware systems, especially on the aspect of century change of date
from Year 1999 to Year 2000;
WHEREAS, government departments, attached agencies, government owned
and controlled corporations, constitutional commissions, state
universities and colleges, LGUs and other government instrumentalities
have invested considerable amounts in the computerization of their
offices and said investments are now at serious risk due to the
MILLENNIUM BUG PROBLEM;
WHEREAS, to ensure the smooth transition of all information processing
systems to the Year 2000, computerized government offices had been
directed to develop/formulate Year 2000 conversion plans by concerned
government agencies (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Securities and
Exchange Commission and the Insurance Commission of the Department of
Finance and the National Computer Center);
WHEREAS, despite the previous issuances of concerned government
agencies, no specific nor definite plan had been developed/formulated,
much less implemented, to address the magnitude and urgency of the Year
2000 problem in affected government offices;
WHEREAS, there remains only one and a half years to institute
corrective actions on all information processing systems for the
government as well as, the private sector, to be millennium
compliant;
WHEREAS, the Government of the Philippines, through the TECHNOLOGY and
LIVELIHOOD RESOURCE CENTER (TLRC), an attached agency under the Office

City, Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ), specifically to provide a
comprehensive and total Y2K service and solution for the millennium bug
problem;
WHEREAS, the TLRC Data Center, with its state-of-the art facilities and
strategic alliance with Year 2000 partners, has the proven capability
as a Y2K service and solution provider for year 2000 impacted agencies
and organizations;
WHEREAS, despite the urgency to address the Millennium Bug Problem,
current fiscal constraints demand prudence in government expenditures;
