Wala nang face-to-face transaction.. Mobile app kontra korup — P-BBM

ni Mylene Alfonso | June 3, 2023

Inilunsad kahapon ng gobyerno ang "e-Gov Super App", isang komprehensibong platform para pagsama-samahin ang maraming serbisyo, i-streamline ang mga proseso at labanan ang katiwalian.

Ayon kay Pangulong Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos, Jr., mahalaga ang e-governance bilang isang paraan upang makasabay sa mga modernong pag-unlad.

"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. There’s no discretion that’s being exercised at any point. It’s either yes, no, yes, no… it’s binary,” wika ni Marcos sa app unveiling sa President Hall sa Malacañang kahapon.

"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 mag-aayos, ‘yung fixer niya.

Mawawala na ‘yan. We owe that to the people,” banggit ni Marcos.

Sa paglulunsad, sinabi ng Pangulo na dapat din pangasiwaan ng gobyerno ang mabilis na pag-unlad ng interconnectivity infrastructure at digitalization ng bansa upang mapalakas ang ekonomiya kung saan nahuhuli ang Pilipinas.

“And… the whole idea of e-governance is something that we need to do because we have fallen behind,” dagdag pa ni Marcos.

Sa pamamagitan ng Super App, maa-access at mapakikinabangan ng mga Pilipino ang mga serbisyo ng gobyerno, tulad ng valid personal identification sa digital format, mahahalagang pang-araw-araw na pangunahing serbisyo ng gobyerno kabilang ang e-tourism at e-travel services; e-payments at banking services; at maging ang kapaki-pakinabang na balita at impormasyon tungkol sa iba't ibang paksa.

"We hope with the beginnings of this e-governance system, that a senior living in an isolated place, an isolated island somewhere who, by the time we will have connectivity, can just go on to their phone (and transact),” hirit pa ng Pangulo.

Wala nang pila, isang click lang… Mobile app para sa voter registration, inilunsad

Nakatakdang ilunsad ng Commission on Elections (Comelec) ang isang mobile application na layong mapabilis ang pagpoproseso ng voter registration na gaganapin bukas, Martes.

Sa isang press statement ngayong araw, tinawag ito ng Comelec na Mobile Registration Form App na ilulunsad sa Tagum City, Davao del Norte. “This mobile app can be accessed with any smartphone even when offline,” pahayag ng Comelec.

Si Commissioner Marlon Casquejo ang nag-conceptualize ng naturang proyekto. “The launch of the mobile app is very timely in the face of mobility restrictions brought about by COVID-19, because you will only need a smartphone to accomplish the form. This will save time, effort and money that will otherwise be spent on going to a computer shop to download and print the form, or getting the form at the local COMELEC to fill it out manually,” ani Casquejo.

“A QR Code is generated upon successful accomplishment of the form. You must save the QR Code on your smartphone, and afterwards, you may visit your local COMELEC office to have your QR Code scanned and your biometrics taken,” dagdag ni Casquejo.

Maaaring i-download ang Mobile Registration Form App sa pamamagitan ng link na bit.ly/MobileFormApp. Puwedeng ring i-share kahit offline mula sa isang Android smartphone sa isa pa gamit naman ang SHAREit o anumang file-sharing application.

Kapag na-install na, ang isang user ay maaari nang mag-apply para sa voter registration nang hindi nangangailangan ng internet connectivity. Ayon pa sa Comelec, ang app ay inilunsad na sa mga piling lugar nito lamang Hunyo. Kasalukuyan na itong ipinatutupad sa mahigit 500 lungsod at munisipalidad sa buong bansa, kabilang na ang National Capital Region (NCR), Cebu City at Davao City.

Naglabas din ang Comelec ng steps para sa paggamit ng Mobile Registration Form App, ayon sa mga sumusunod:

1. Open the mobile app, and tap “Get Started.”

2. Select the desired type of application and tap “Proceed.”

3. Input all the necessary personal information.

4. Confirm your personal information by ticking the checkbox.

5. Tap “Generate QR Code” and “Save” to save it in your phone gallery.

6. Bring a valid ID upon visiting your local COMELEC office for your QR Code scanning.”

“For any question or clarification about the mobile app, our Voter Care Center hotlines on mobile (+63 927 5595 926), Facebook and Twitter are open to the public,” ayon naman kay Comelec Spokesperson James Jimenez.
