Mapa's group is tasked with collaborating with the private sector in developing an 'ICT-enabled landscape' for the country and help the CICT achieve its goal of generating one million more ICT-related jobs in the country.

A twenty-year veteran in the IT industry before moving to public service, Mapa resigned, citing personal reasons, shortly after former CICT chief Pena turned over the post to Sales.

'He informed me about his resignation during his briefing about his group's programs' Sales said in a statement issued by the CICT.
