BAGUIO CITY – The city
government garnered first place in the City Level for the Best in eGov Global
Competitiveness Award or the G2W (Government to the World) for its “EBOMS
V1.0: Electronic Budget Operations and Monitoring System”.
This was
announced by Dept. of Information and Communications Technology (DICT)-CAR
Dir. Leo Ugto in Monday’s flag-raising rites at City Hall led by Mayor
Benjamin Magalong and Vice Mayor Faustino Olowan.
He said that
local government units’ (LGUs) best practices in information and communications
technology were lauded during the Digital Governance Awards 2019 at the
Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City last November 26.
Ugto added
that the award cites the efforts of an LGU in developing world-class systems in
using ICT that are at par with international or internationally-recognized
standards, thus making the LGU globally competitive, recognized and virtually
accessible and interactive.
Started in
2012, he said the eGov Awards is the first and most prestigious
recognition to be given by the ICT sector to LGUs with exemplary performance in
empowering its public customers and businesses.
“It is an
annual search for best practices in LGUs in utilizing ICT to effectively
and efficiently deliver public services to its constituents and business
stakeholders,” Ugto explained.
This year’s
search is a joint project of the DICT, Department of Interior and Local
Government and the National ICT Confederation of the Philippines.-gaby keith
