The DICT also launched DigitalCitiesPH National Launch, which signaled a holistic approach to building digital LGUs by 2022 in terms of economy, government, human resource, mobility, environment and lifestyle. DICT through Undersecretary Monchito Ibrahim announced that it is adopting the eGOV Awards as a key strategy under its digital government component starting next year.

NICP former president and trustee Jocelle Batapa-Sigue, leading eGov initiatives for NICP, said this is the sixth year of the awards but the first year for three new categories, namely in the area of data privacy, government inter-operability and digital payments.

A total of 36 projects where submitted by twenty six local government units, which could be either a city, municipality or province and were judged according to impact, relevance, innovation and replicability.

NICP president Stephanie Caragos said the direction of DICT complements the goal of NICP to ensure more innovation in the LGU level.
