The Speakers

DTI Secretary Manuel A. Roxas
Described by Asiaweek as one of "the young leaders in politics and business who will bring Asia and the Pacific at the forefront of world affairs," Secretary Roxas, illustrious son of an illustrious father, the late President Manuel A. Roxas, took a step forward to fulfill this bi-dimensional leadership prognosis when he resigned as Majority Leader of the 11th Congress to accept his appointment as DTI Secretary. His educational background (Wharton School of Economics and the Kennedy School of Government) further supports such a career convergence. Secretary Roxas is, fittingly, the Chairman of the Information Technology and Electronic Commerce Council (ITECC).

Jesus M. Disini, Jr.
Disini is the acknowledged leading cyber lawyer in the country. He contributed to the enactment of the E-Commerce Law (R.A. No. 8792) and headed the team that drafted its Implementing Rules and Regulations. He is a much sought-after speaker in public fora in which critical legal issues involving e-commerce are discussed, the latest of which is as speaker and panelist in the Internet Law and Policy Forum to be held in San Francisco, U.S.A. from September 11 to September 12, 2000. A UP honors law (1993) and economics (1989) graduate, Disini placed seventh in the 1993 Bar Examinations.
