DICT secretary Ivan Uy emphasized the urgency for the initiative, as he noted that more than 12,000 complaints related to online transactions were reported in 2022 alone.
The eGov SuperApp, which underwent a lengthy beta test before its launch, brings most online government services in a single platform, including the eTravel system which travelers need to use when leaving or entering the country.
