DPWH commissions digital ledger to track foreign-funded projects
Business World Philippines
|October 01, 2025
THE Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said it tapped Blockchain Council of the Philippines (BCP) to develop a blockchain digital ledger that will track foreign-assisted infrastructure projects.
-
"By placing our foreign-assisted projects — those funded by Official Development Assistance (ODA) — on the Integrity Chain, we welcome the scrutiny of the private sector, academe, and civil society. This is DPWH’s strong response to the President's directive to ensure transparency and accountability is enforced for its projects," Public Works and Highways Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon said on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, the DPWH and BCP — a non-stock, nonprofit organization of blockchain professionals and advocates, signed the memorandum of agreement to launch the Integrity Chain.
Integrity Chain will embed, digitize, and secure key data on selected national projects which will be made available to the public.
