Marcos wants to raise awareness on use of eGov PH app
Marcos made the remark Friday during the launch of EGOV PH Hub in San Juan City.
"Iyon lamang kailangan lang natin ipakalat sa taong-bayan na mayroon nang ganito at subukan nila at gamitin nila," Marcos said in his speech.
(We have to let our countrymen know that we have this app and that they should try to use it.)
The President said government offices and agencies should explain to the public how the application can be utilized.
"Ang aming suggestion ay 'yung lahat ng mga iba't ibang ahensiya kapag sila nasa website dapat alam nila na may ganito. Kapag may dumadating sa opisina, ipaliwanag din o bigyan ng kaunting flyer para ipaliwanag," he said.
(Our suggestion is that all agencies that have websites should know about this service. If a client arrives in an office, their staff should explain or give a flyer that explains the app.)
He said the public no longer needs to go to the hub as they may access government services through the application.
"Actually ang katotohanan, hindi ninyo na kailangan pumunta rito. Basta't mayroon kayong connectivity, may Wi-Fi kayo, ito na lang 'yung gagawin ninyo," Marcos added.
(The truth is you don't need to come here. As long as you have connectivity, a WiFi connection, this is all you need to do.)
The eGov PH Super App, which has more than 13 million users and offers 47 integrated service modules with over 150 million transactions.
The Department of Health announced last week that the prices of medicines may be checked through the eGovPH app.
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has also announced that through the eGov PH app, users can download the online system and renew their driver's licenses without going to the agency's offices. — VDV, GMA Integrated News

Palace on increase in Marcos rating: Public sees his work
Malacañang on Friday welcomed the boost in the trust and performance ratings of President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. for the 2nd Quarter of 2025. Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro said the public is seeing that the President is working for the country. ''Unang-una, malamang po nakikita na po ng taumbayan kung ano po talaga ang ginagawang trabaho ng Pangulo. At nakakatuwa at nakikita na po nila kung gaano po kasipag ang Pangulo para sa taumbayan at para sa bayan,'' Castro said. However, she clarified that Marcos is not after the figures or ratings. ''Ngunit sasabihin po natin muli ang Pangulo po ay hindi maaapektuhan ng anumang numero. Pero siyempre po ito ay ikinagagalak, at kung tumataas man po ang approval at trust rating Pangulo ay nakakatuwa po ito dahil nakikita na nagtatrabaho. Mas mahirap po kasi na bumababa ang rating pero nagtatrabaho; pero mas mabigat iyong hindi nagtatrabaho pero tumataas ang rating,'' she added. Based on the Tugon ng Masa survey conducted from July 12 to 17, OCTA Research said Marcos received a 64% trust rating, a four-percentage-point increase from his previous one. His performance rating also got a three-point increase, climbing up to 62% within the survey's margin of error. OCTA also said Marcos reversed the downward trend in ratings that he experienced since the 4th Quarter of 2024 and received the highest trust and performance ratings among the top officials surveyed for this quarter. —LDF, GMA Integrated News

Banning online gambling must be studied thoroughly, says Palace
Malacañang on Friday said banning online gambling should be studied thoroughly, including its possible impacts to the country. During a press conference, Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro said this matter should be studied carefully as this may affect even the licensed ones. She was reacting to the question about President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. skipping online gambling during his fourth State of the Nation Address. ''So, dapat ito aralin mabuti ano ba ang dapat gawin dahil kapag nga tinanggal natin talaga agad-agad ang online gambling at maapektuhan naman iyong ibang mga lisensiyado, makakaapekto ba ito sa tulong sa bayan, sa tulong sa mga estudyante, sa tulong sa mga Pilipino? So, hindi po puwedeng magpadalus-dalos ang Pangulo dito. Dapat aralin po dahil sa totoo lamang po ang mga revenue po na ibinibigay ng lisensiyado na online gambling ay nakakapagbigay talaga ng tulong sa mamamayan,'' Castro said. (This should be studied carefully because if we remove this, those licensed ones will be affected and we have to determine if this will affect the assistance to the nation, to students, and to all Filipinos. So, the President cannot just decide on this. This should be studied as the revenues from licensed online gambling operations are helping the citizens.) ''So, dapat pong aralin at hindi po dapat na ora-orada at mag-uutos agad na tanggalin agad iyan, dapat inaaral po iyan. Iyang ganiyan po kasi, ang gusto ng Pangulo ay inaaral bago magpadalus-dalos sa aksiyon,'' she added. (This should be studied and it's not right to just prohibit this, this should be studied.) The Senate is set to hold an investigation regarding online gambling in the country, as announced by Senator Erwin Tulfo, chairman of the Senate games and amusement committee. Several other lawmakers have also called either for the total ban or strict regulation of online gambling, citing its negative impact on Filipinos who got addicted to it. PAGCOR Chairman Alejandro Tengco earlier noted that the gaming industry regulator recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ad Standards Council (ASC) to strengthen the monitoring of gambling-related advertisements across all platforms. It also recently ordered the takedown of all gambling ads in public spaces and primetime TV by August 15 this year. — BAP, GMA Integrated News

Palace asks public to keep eye on bicam over 2026 budget
Malacañang on Friday called on the public to be vigilant about the bicameral conference committee with regard to the 2026 national budget. At a press conference, Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro said the committee still has yet provide specific details with regard to flood control projects, some of which may be anomalous. Castro said these projects are still under investigation. "Ngayon, hindi pa natin masasabi in details kung sino at kung anong proyekto ito, mas maganda po kasi kung mag-uulat kami ng verified. Mahirap po kasing magsabi at sabihin kong malamang itong lugar na ito, nakita ng Pangulo, sira ito at isipin niya na nagkaroon dito ng anomalya. So, bubuuin muna po ang karampatang pagiimbestiga rito, para po ang maiiulat namin sa bayan ay iyong verified facts," Castro said. (We can't say in detail what these projects are. It's better if we report with verified data. It's hard to mention a place, and then the President will see it and think that there has been an anomaly with the project. We will complete our investigation to report verified facts.) "Kaya po sa tulong po ng taumbayan, sa tulong po ninyong lahat, bantayan po natin itong gagawing bicam conference pagdating sa 2026 budget. At ayaw pong maulit ng Pangulo itong nangyaring ganyan," Castro added. (Through the help of the public, let's monitor the bicam conference for the 2026 budget. The President doesn't want this to happen again.) In his fourth State of the Nation Address, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. expressed dismay with government personnel who steal public funds, including those earmarked for flood control projects. Marcos said these officials would be dealt with under the law, noting that they should be ashamed of their actions. The President said a regional monitoring committee that will examine the projects to check on their progress, and if they exist at all. "We will publish this list so that the public can see it," Marcos said. "At the same time, there will be an audit and performance review of these projects to check and make sure and to know how your money was spent." The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) earlier admitted that it has no monitoring system in place for some flood control projects, specifically those inserted by lawmakers into the national budget without undergoing technical vetting. DPWH Secretary Manuel "Manny" Bonoan said the agency is seeing some of the projects for the first time only after these appeared in the final version of the General Appropriations Act. Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez has said the presence of watchdogs and other civil society observers will be allowed at the proposed national budget deliberations, from the committee and plenary level to the bicameral conference committee. Romualdez also vowed to strengthen the House of Representative's authority to investigate by conducting midyear performance reviews of agencies, and review of infrastructure projects. — VDV, GMA Integrated News
