Philippine government launches eGov 'super app'

Job Manahan, ABS-CBN News 

MANILA — The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) on Friday launched the eGovPH "super app," which is aimed to streamline all government transactions and boost the Marcos, Jr. administration's digitalization push in bureaucracy. The "super app," part of the e-Gov PH system launched in December last year, makes it convenient for the public to access government services and information online in both the local and national level through the use of an app. President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. and DICT Secretary Ivan John Uy led the launching of the mobile application in Malacañang. <ul class='op-related-articles'>	<li><a href='https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/05/24/23/marcos-tells-dict-to-help-lgus-in-adopting-e-gov-system'>Marcos tells DICT to help LGUs in adopting e-Gov system</a></li></ul>In his speech, Marcos said digitalization is "not an option," as this was something that needed to be done.

One must register in the application and verify his or her identity to fully use all of its features. A live selfie is also required. After the initial verification process, an eGov Digital ID will be provided, with a corresponding QR code.
