Philippines Launches ‘eGov’ Super App, Tests Biometric Authentication for National IDs

by Beverly Crawford-Westre, Activist Post:

The Philippines’ recently launched eGov PH Super App aims to streamline government documents and services access. Part of the e-Gov PH system, this app provides the public convenient access to government services and information online at both the local and national levels, reports ABS-CBN News. The app is another step forward in President Marcos’ push to digitize government agencies.

Among its features, the AI-based app will make getting Philippine passports easier and provide a digital driver’s license, as an alternative to the traditional plastic card. The Land Transport Office said earlier this year the mobile driver’s license would not completely replace the physical credential.
