DPWH transparency portal unveiled
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. launched a transparency website for the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) aimed at combating corruption and improving public oversight.
The DPWH Transparency Portal provides public access to information on DPWH projects dating back to 2016, including contract information, costs, project status, and implementing offices.
Filipinos can now access information on contractors, project locations, and completion rates, fostering accountability within the agency.
A key feature allows the public to report issues such as defective, unfinished, or ghost projects directly through the platform, with options to upload evidence like photos and videos.
The transparency portal also integrates an AI assistant chatbot and live streams of the bidding process to further enhance openness.
The President stated that the portal was developed with the support of private technology partners and the Philippine Space Agency.
He also mentioned that the Social Security System and Philippine Health Insurance Corp. will roll out similar transparency platforms.
