President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Friday expressed optimism that corruption can be lessened with the usage of the “e-Gov PH Super App” that integrates all authorities on-line providers in a single platform.

The President defined that by means of the app, public providers will likely be simplified and there will likely be no “discretion” coming from a authorities worker. He additionally mentioned that by means of this method, the general public’s downside of partaking with “fixers” will likely be prevented.
“There is another part of this that is extremely important, that we sometimes do not talk about and that is the lessening of corruption. Because, you do not have to talk to a person at all, for the entire process, wala kang kausap na tao (you don’t talk to anyone). There’s no discretion that’s being exercised at any point. It’s either yes, no, yes, no… it’s binary,” Marcos mentioned in his speech.
“That way, it simplifies the process especially for the citizens and there is no discretion being exercised by anyone. Eh kung di mo ko lagyan, hindi ko ipapaano ito. Iipitin ko ito, mga ganon. Kausapin mo si ganito, ganyan, siya magaayos, ‘yung fixer niya. Mawawala na ‘yan (If you will not give me money, I will hold this. You talk to this person, he will fix this, his fixer. These will all be avoided). We owe that to the people,” he added.
The Chief Executive additionally mentioned the entire thought of e-governance is one thing the Philippines has to do on this time of digitalization.
“We did a survey of how people used the internet in the Philippines and the result was quite enlightening. They say, 95% of their daily activities, the shopping, the paying, the bank, even the payments to government, 95% are done online,” Marcos mentioned.
“Ano ‘yung 5%? Government. We cannot do it online, we have to go to the office, we have to collect the birth certificate, the documentation, the clearance and then we go to the government and they say ‘you’re missing one document.’ Balik na naman. That just won’t work,” he added.
National IDs
Meanwhile, the nationwide ID will likely be used as a single verification for presidency transaction achieved by means of the federal government tremendous app.
Marcos harassed that the federal government has already been engaged on the supply of those nationwide IDs, saying that they’re actually going to be “the central focal point for the dissemination of information and the dissemination of services.”
“That’s what we’re working on and I think we’re making a good deal of progress, we’re finding those operations, those groups who were able to print them out. Right now, it’s a little unsatisfactory because what we call an ID is essentially a picture of an ID. There’s no data that backs it up,” Marcos mentioned.
