The municipality of Del Carmen, together with the Philippine Community eCenter Program, successfully established a second Community eCenter site, this time in the barangay of Sayak. As a gateway to the island of Siargao in Surigao del Norte, the Del Carmen CeC and the Sayak Barangay CeC are important facilities that are expected to cater to the needs of guests, students and other establishments within the area.

As one of the beneficiaries for the Year 2 Phase of the PhilCeC Program, the Sayak CeC received an equipment package comprising of four computer units, a four-in-one equipment of scanner, printer, facsimile and copier, two web cameras and cabling connections. To develop CeC-related competencies and skills, CeC knowledge workers Dom Adrel Lipio and Mark Macon Alipaspas attended the Essentials of CeC management training crash course held by the PhilCeC Program for Mindanao LGUs last January.

Presently, the CeC is located in the Barangay Office of Sayak. A separate center will be constructed soon on a lot donated by the barangay. It will offer digital literacy programs and farmers/fisherfolk education to help the community adopt new technologies.
