The government’s eGovPH superapp will require at least P2.7 billion next year for essential upgrades to its cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity, according to Philstar Biz.
The investment is aimed at ensuring the platform can handle a surge in transaction volumes as more citizens use the app for government services. The upgrades are expected to strengthen the app’s reliability and security, which are critical as the superapp becomes a central gateway for digital government transactions.
The planned spending underscores the government’s push to digitize public services, though it also highlights the growing costs of maintaining and securing large-scale digital platforms. Further details on the allocation and timeline were not immediately disclosed in the report.
