Hey there, want to know today’s latest trend in the Philippine digital market economy?

The Philippine Local Government Units aim to implement digital transactions that will promote efficient service delivery, accelerate transactions, and boost income to help entrepreneurs like you.

You’ve read that right. 

LGUs. Planning. To go digital

This has again been emphasized in the recent state of the nation address of the newly-elected president, Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

But wait.

Can this be truly possible?

Well, because of the pandemic, most Filipinos now rely on digital payments to transact in order to avoid the spread of the disease.

That’s why, if you notice, online shopping has bloomed.

Delivery services have blossomed.

E-wallet has become the trend.

And this is why the government has seen the urgent need to go digital.

But the sad reality is, many government units across the country are still not in a position to accept payments online.

In fact, more than half of the nation’s provinces do not have the technology to process online payments. 

The lack of internet access for many rural areas and underdeveloped communities makes it difficult for them to get on board with a digital payment system.

Many LGUs still rely on old-fashioned methods such as cash and checks for their operations, making them lose revenue from new clients who prefer digital payment methods.

This leaves many citizens and businesses in the dark about how to pay for services, and, in turn, discourages them from paying altogether.

But imagine if LGUs could accept digital payments.

Wouldn’t that ease the process of tax and revenue collection? 

Wouldn’t that mean faster transactions, greater transparency, fewer errors, and lower expenditures on printing paper money?

And since payments are digital, where every transaction is digitally recorded…

Wouldn’t that prevent corruption in general? That’s what we all want, right?

You see, if LGUs went digital, our lives would somehow become better.

So back to the question…

Can this be truly possible?

Yes.
