Upon the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to digitalize key government services, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) announced that motorists will soon be able to check their traffic violations, including those under the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP), and pay fines through the eGovPH app.
During a press briefing in Malacañang on Wednesday, DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr. said the DICT is working closely with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) to link the NCAP violations monitoring system to the eGovPH app.
“Pag natapos po iyong integration, ang ganda po nito kasi makikita mo na doon kung ilan na po iyong violation mo at kahit nasa bahay ka na rin, puwede mong i-settle na rin iyong penalty mo,” Almirol said.
Once fully integrated, Almirol said users will be able to receive notifications of their violations supported with photos and videos from the MMDA.
“Pagpunta mo sa eGovPH app, may button po doon ng mga penalties; pagka-click mo, mapapanood mo na iyong video na nanggagaling kay MMDA kung ito iyong violation,” Almirol said.
Almirol said they are also integrating other traffic violations monitoring systems such as the MMDA’s single ticketing system platform and the Land Transportation Office (LTO)’s land transportation management system (LTMS) with the eGovPH app.
He said the e-government data exchange (eGovDX) platform links all these different systems to make it easier for motorists to monitor their status.
“Iyong eGovDX natin, dapat kita na rin ni LTO iyon. Para in the future ‘pag may magri-renew ng lisensiya doon or driver’s license, hindi ka puwede makapag-renew kasi you have to pay the penalty. So single entry lang po iyon so nag-uusap-usap po sila without sharing information,” Almirol said.
Aside from NCAP monitoring, Almirol also discussed other ongoing initiatives to integrate into the eGovPH app the services of the Social Security System (SSS) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)’s scholarship programs.
“Hindi po titigil ang DICT sa pagdagdag ng maraming features sa ating eGovPH Super App,” Almirol said. | PND
