As part of the implementation of the Smart and Sustainable Communities Initiative of DOST Davao Oriental, students and faculty members from the University of Mindanao – Matina Campus Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) program participated in a Reverse Pitching Activity aimed at strengthening digitalization initiatives in government offices.

The activity was attended by Ms. Mirasol G. Domingo, Provincial Director of DOST Davao Oriental, Dr. Ramcis N. Vilchez, Dean of the College of Information and Computing, and Dr. Fe B. Yara, Assistant Dean. Representatives from DOST Davao Oriental, Provincial Tourism Office (PTO), Provincial Engineering Office (PEO), City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO), Davao Oriental Police Provincial Office (DOPPO), and the Provincial Information Office (PIO) presented various operational challenges that could be improved through digital systems and information technology solutions.

During the pitching session, DOST Davao Oriental presented concerns related to the digitalization of documents for the GIA and SETUP programs. The office emphasized the need for a system that would allow easier retrieval of records from previous years, online submission and verification of documents, and monitoring of projects, including payment tracking and automated reminder notices.

The Provincial Tourism Office (PTO) discussed the need to digitalize tourism-related form submissions and tourist arrival reporting. Proposed ideas included a centralized system where resorts and tourism establishments can directly input visitor data for faster consolidation and reporting. Additional recommendations were also shared to improve tourism monitoring and feedback collection.

Meanwhile, the Provincial Engineering Office proposed an office-based document tracking and archiving system that can scan, upload, track, and monitor actions taken on documents, with possible integration of artificial intelligence features.

The CDRRMO highlighted the importance of developing an all-in-one platform that can support monitoring systems, budget utilization tracking, and emergency medical services management. For DOPPO, the office proposed a Feedback Satisfaction System.

The Provincial Information Office (PIO) also presented the need for a routing and scheduling system for activity coverage to improve coordination, monitoring, and timely dissemination of information and updates from various government activities and events.

The activity served as a platform where students and faculty members from UM provided insights and recommendations in developing practical and innovative digital solutions for government services. Through this initiative, DOST Davao Oriental continues to promote smarter, technology-driven, and sustainable communities through collaboration between government agencies and academic institutions.
