BIZ BUZZ: DICT bags awards
The Philippines was once again acknowledged at the GovMedia Awards 2025 in Singapore, clinching two awards.
The DICT said the eGovPH Super App won the E-Governance Project of the Year and e-Government Data Exchange Platform (eGovDX) as Digital Transformation of the Year.
The eGovPH mobile application serves as a one-stop shop platform for Filipinos as it covers digital ID, travel, health, public safety and more. With more than 13 million users, the app has already logged over 150 million transactions.
The eGovDX platform, meanwhile, links over 1,000 government services, resulting in 500 million transactions.
“People need to feel that the government is working for them. That means faster service, zero lines and more transparency,” DICT undersecretary for E-Government David Almirol Jr. said.
But the DICT official said the grind goes on, as they target all government agencies to integrate into the unified systems.
