The government on Friday, June 2, launched the eGov PH Super App, the country’s first one-stop-shop platform that will streamline government processes and transactions.
The eGov PH Super App essentially provides Filipinos with the access to an online one-stop-shop that offers a variety of national and local government services such as applying for passport, driver’s license, clearances, certifications, and other permits.
Leading its national launch on Friday, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said the government must “facilitate the rapid development of the country’s interconnectivity infrastructure and digitalization to boost the economy and fight corruption.”
“[This] is a very good step and we will continue to push for this and we will need, not only of our government agencies, but also the private sector because the private sector also has concerns in this regard, especially when it comes to cybersecurity,” the President said.
He also stressed that the Philippines needs to intensify on the matter of e-governance, especially that 95% of daily activities such as shopping, banking, and government payments are being done online.
“Now, what we have to do is to consolidate all of those systems in place. Allow them to communicate with each other in a way that is useful for the consumer, for the citizen in terms of again the business that has to be conducted with [the] government. So, I’m very, very happy that we are going in this direction,” the chief executive noted.
The eGov Super App may be downloaded for free from Google Play Store and App Store.
