DigiBayanihan is the flagship program of Asia Society for Social Improvement & Sustainable Transformation (ASSIST) Social Actions. It is a digital empowerment initiative that aims to provide digital access, digitally-enabled literacy, and digital inclusion to all Filipinos. Formed by Intel, the Information and Communications Technology of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-ICTO), and ASSIST in 2014, it was revived in 2017 with the support of Google.
ASSIST needed a unifying icon that would represent the programs, activities, and online tools of DigiBayanihan such as The Career Engine and NGO-Connect, and also represent future DigiBayanis (“digital citizens”) that are skilled and confident in using digital platforms to improve their lives.
The merging of the initials D and B signifies the partnership between different stakeholders, while the gap on the left of the icon represents inclusion and the opening of doors to opportunities as a result of digital education.
