The eGov Super App, which was introduced by the national government on June 2 of last year, is a mobile application that acts as a central hub for the numerous government services provided by at least 26 public agencies in the country.
To make dealing with the government easier for Filipinos, the Department of Information and Communications Technology oversaw the initiative.
This app is designed to streamline and simplify the process of accessing government services, allowing citizens to easily interact with different government agencies and departments.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. stated in his second State of the Nation Address on July 24 that the government intends to soon incorporate all its essential services into the app as part of the country’s imminent digital transformation.
