The powerful House Committee on Appropriations has approved, subject to amendments and style, the unnumbered substitute bill that would digitalize the delivery of government services.
Chaired by Ako Bicol Party-list Rep. Elizaldy Co, the House panel okayed the bill that seeks to institutionalize the transition of the government to e-governance in the digital age.
“Digitalization of services is evidently the most efficient solution to the gap in the delivery of government services. It is high time to enact a law that would require all government agencies to transition to digital platforms,” the note said. Department of Information and Communications Technology Secretary Ivan John Uy described the bill as “a timely and urgent legislation that will allow the government to provide services to all our citizens in a more proactive, seamless and effective way of delivering our government services.”
