Why Philippines

Powered by the Bagong Pilipinas agenda, the Filipino government is propelling national initiatives including but not limited to the National Broadband Plan, GovNet expansion, Cloud-First policy, and the National Cybersecurity Plan (2023–2028). Courtesy of the proposed e-Governance Act that’s aiming to combine all systems for seamless interoperability and multi-billion-peso investments bolstering nationwide connectivity, the archipelagic country is now successfully witnessing digital transformation at scale.

To top it all, the eGov PH Super App is gathering diverse public services to a single digital platform, the National ID is simplifying citizen transactions, and Local Government Units are digitising operations to deliver faster, more efficient services. In the wake of this progress, the Philippines has also been recognised by the United Nations as one of the only 12 countries globally to receive the UN E-Government Award, a strong testament to its leadership in digital transformation.
