*Andrea Battaglia*CEO Fiware Foundation Dear Mr. Battaglia: Warm greetings! I am Kris Libunao, former Deputy Director General and Vice Minister of National Security Council of the Philippines and currently heading SmartCT , a non-governmental organization on digital governance. May I submit for your consideration the establishment of Smart Cities and Communities Network in Asia Pacific (SmartCTAP), the concept paper of which is attached. As part of this proposal, I would like to express our strong interest in spearheading the adoption of Fiware standards in the Asia Pacific region, with a particular focus on our partners in Nepal and the Philippines. We believe that implementing Fiware's open standards and technologies can significantly accelerate the development of smart city solutions in these countries, fostering innovation and improving the quality of life for citizens. Every 1,000 days or every 3 years, we have new legislators in the Philippine Congress, we have 86 governors in our provinces, 145 mayors in our cities and 1500 mayors in our municipalities and 42,000 Barangay Chairman in our barangays. With upcoming elections on the horizon, supporting the SmartCTAP initiative can be a game-changer. It provides an unprecedented opportunity to train and organize these cadres of decision-makers in various aspects of digital governance, AI governance, urban planning, and related fields. By supporting this initiative, the Fiware Foundation can make a substantial contribution to the development of our region's leadership and future citizenry, thus shaping the digital future of the region. The long-term effects of these trainings, embedded within the SmartCTAP framework, are incalculable. I shall make myself available to discuss the nitty gritty of the attached proposal at your earliest convenience. I may be reached at +63915 2728262 and email kris at smartct.org. Thank you. With all best wishes. To an open and smart future, [image: www.krisvl.com] <http://www.krisvl.com> [image: facebook] <https://www.facebook.com/thesmartivist> [image: linkedin] <https://www.linkedin.com/in/thesmartivist> Kris R.
