Lesson 2: Current State of Philippines ICT

Electronic Government (e-Government) is the use of information and

communication technology and other web-based technology to enhance
access of information and improve delivery, efficiency and effectiveness of
services to the public.
1. Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (NOAH) - DOST’s mobile
version of Project NOAH enables Filipinos to access real time information relevant to
weather conditions and disaster preparedness in the palm of their hands (mobile phone)
and new ways of using mobile devices, thereby saving lives and potential economic
loss.
2. Mobile Operational System for Emergency (MOSES) - Aims to support
the current operations of project NOAH. - Design to help Local Disaster
Risk Reduction Management Council in making decisions concerning the
impending disaster, whether to declare suspension of works or classes in
schools or to take evacuation actions in their areas of concern. - It can
receive real-time weather and flood information from PAGASA and Project
NOAH. Additionally, it allows users to access weather data such as:
temperature, moisture, and other vital information directly accessible from
Doppler radar, water level sensor, and water gauges.
3. iGov Phil - Integrated government Philippine (iGov Phil) - is a joint
project of DOST-ICTO and DOST-ASTI, the project aims to set-up a
government-shared network that will facilitate, deployment and integration
of mission-critical ICT projects especially those that deliver common
government services. Initially, the following development systems will be
targeted for integration: e-Serbisyo as the single sign-on portal, Unified-
Purpose ID (UMID), the Philippines Key Infrastructure (PKI), eBayad and
the Philippines Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS).
4. e-LGU Projects - Electronic Governance in Local Government Unit

5. Contact Center ng Bayan (CCB) - is a joint initiative to improve service
delivery and reduce red tape in government frontline services. Through a

information, report complaints and ask assistance through various
communication channels.
6. Philippines Community eCenter (CeC) - is a program that seeks to
establish new CeCs in municipalities where there are no shared internet
access facilities, transform existing school computer laboratories and
internet cages, where feasible, to become CeCs and enhance and
strengthen existing CeCs.
7. E-Government Philippines Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) -
Personally Controlled Health Records (PCHR) - The plan for PhilHealth to
release specifications for PCHR to enable a transformation on health data management is expected
to recreate a patient-centric care as well as stimulating a new business sector on health data
stewardship. The PCHR will be owned by the patients and co-managed with their health providers
such as hospitals and clinics
8. iPinay Program - The continuing commitment to address the gender ICT
gap, by empowering more women with ICTs. We are also engaging with
more local and international partners to provide opportunities for our CeCs
in various areas:
 Health information services & telemedicine
 Employment and Livelihood Opportunities
