THE Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Region 7 is hosted the kick-off ceremony for the implementation of Electronic Local Government Unit System (eLGU) alongside the eGovPH App information campaign at the JPark Island Resort and Waterpark in Mactan, Cebu on Oct. 21, 2024.
The apps aim to enhance digital governance among local government units across Central Visayas.
The eLGU system is one of the nationwide e-Government initiatives designed to streamline government service delivery through digital transformation. It provides digital platforms for essential services such as business registration, tax payments, and access to public documents, fostering transparency, accessibility, and efficiency in government processes and transactions.
The eGovPH App serves as a unified digital platform that facilitates seamless transactions between citizens and government agencies.
Initially introduced in June 2023 and fully launched in December 2023, the app has already attracted more than 8 million users to date.
The eLGU and eGovPH app are among the 25 digital platforms developed by the DICT to advance e-governance and drive digital transformation across the country.
"The rollout of the eLGU system and the eGovPH App Information Campaign in Region 7 marks a crucial step toward achieving a digitally inclusive government. These efforts are designed to equip local government units with digital tools that optimize service delivery and simplify processes," DICT Undersecretary for e-Governance David Almirol Jr. said.
"The Cebu launch showcased the eLGU system's features, encouraging stakeholders in the province to adopt a more digital-first approach to governance," DICT Management Information System Service Director Jun Vincent Manuel Gaudan revealed.
"Success depends on strong partnerships between DICT, local government executives, and stakeholders. With a focus on digital maturity, DICT is leading the transformation of local governance through cutting-edge technology," Assistant Secretary for Regional Development Maria Teresa Camba added.
"With the rollout of the eLGU system, the future of public service in the Philippines will become more efficient, accessible, and digitally driven," Daanbantayan Mayor and Cebu Mayors League President Sun Shimura expressed.
