Local government units have embraced digitalization to ease doing business in their areas.
The Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT in a statement over the weekend said 838 LGUs across the country have integrated into the eLGU System, a one-stop platform created as part of the broader Electronic Business One-Stop Shop (e-BOSS) program.
e-Boss, a collaboration of the DICT with the Department of Interior and Local Government, and the Anti-Red Tape Authority, aims to streamline and automate processes in LGUs.
The eLGU System offers diverse services, including business permit licensing, barangay clearance, building permits, working permits, community tax certificates, occupational and health certificates, local civil registry needs, and other LGU online services.
“This will significantly assist citizens by streamlining various government processes and eliminating the bureaucratic hurdles associated with traditional methods,” said
DICT Secretary Ivan John Uy.
David Almirol, DICT Undersecretary for E-Government, said integrated were 375 LGUs in Luzon, 238 in the Visayas, and 225 in Mindanao.
The eLGU is also integrated with eGovPH SuperApp, a comprehensive mobile application designed to facilitate citizen-government interactions.
