Labella, who chairs the Committee on Information and Communications Technology, broke down the project's significance. He explained that the portal will serve as the city's digital front door.

"Instead of asking asa ka muadto or kinsa akong duolon, you can just go online and find City services, announcements, forms, schedules, and all departments," the councilor said.

He stressed that citizens will be able to view fees and registration requirements, access news, advisories, city events, and service information, and do so conveniently on mobile phones, tablets, or computers. The portal will also feature Cebuano and English versions, ensuring inclusivity for a wider audience.

The modernization will integrate multiple modules, including a Citizen Services Directory with step-by-step guides for transactions, a Transparency Portal publishing budget reports and procurement updates, and a Disaster Dashboard for real-time alerts.
