PSAC urges faster gov't digitalization

The Private Sector Advisory Council (PSAC) urges the Marcos administration to fast-track initiatives integral to the country’s digital transformation, including creating a “Government-as-a-Service” model.

In a recent meeting at Malacañang Palace with President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., PSAC’s Digital Infrastructure Sector called for integrating government agencies through a singular digital system.

The council likened the model to a smartphone where various applications can function seamlessly.

"This system would allow citizens to access services like document applications, permit requests, and fee payments from a single platform," it said.

While specifics of the matter were not disclosed to the media, PSAC’s recommendation could be an up-graded version of the already existing e-Government Philippines, otherwise known as eGov PH.

The eGov PH is a one-stop shop application for all national and local government services.
