The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Region VIII marks a remarkable milestone as the eGovPH App reaches one million registered users across Region VIII.

This achievement is more than a figure on a dashboard. It represents the growing confidence of Eastern Visayans in digital platforms that make government services more accessible, convenient, and within reach. Each registration reflects a citizen taking a step toward a more seamless way of engaging with government—powered by technology and designed around the needs of the Filipino people.

From communities in bustling urban centers to those in far-flung areas, the growing adoption of the eGovPH App reflects a shared movement toward simpler, faster, and more accessible digital government services. With essential government services brought closer through a single platform, technology is helping bridge distance and create new pathways for public service.

Reaching 1 million registered users is also a testament to the collective efforts behind the digital transformation of the region. It is made possible through the continued support of local government units, national government agencies, partner institutions, communities, and the dedicated individuals who champion the adoption of eGovPH across Eastern Visayas.

For DICT Region VIII, this milestone is both a celebration and a renewed commitment.

Because behind every registration is a person.
Behind every person is a community.
And behind every community is the vision of a connected, inclusive, and digitally empowered Region VIII.

One million registered users today.
A stronger digital government tomorrow.

Spiritual Sunday 🙏⁣
⁣
“The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” ⁣
2 Peter 3:9 (NASB 1995)⁣
⁣
God’s heart is full of love for you. He is not waiting to condemn you or demanding that you clean yourself up before coming to Him. Through Jesus, God has already made a way for complete forgiveness, peace, and new life. Christ died for your sins, rose again, and now offers salvation freely to everyone who believes (John 3:16–17; 2 Corinthians 5:18–19).⁣
⁣
You can trust Him today. Believe that Jesus is Lord, that He died and rose again, and receive His gift of eternal life—not because of your performance, but because of His grace (Romans 10:9–13; Ephesians 2:8–9). God does not want anyone to perish; He patiently calls people to turn to Christ and discover that they are deeply loved, fully forgiven, and welcomed into His life (2 Peter 3:9).⁣

Today — In collaboration with DILG Northern Samar, the DICT Regional Office VIII eLGU team successfully conducted eLGU Admin Training and System Setup and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for eGovPay online payments from September 1–4, 2026, at Mijares Hotel in Catarman. During the four-day activity, the team worked directly with local officials from Allen, Capul, and San Isidro, Northern Samar to configure the system modules according to each municipality's local revenue code.

Through the eLGU System, these LGUs are now moving public services online: including business permit licensing, community tax certificates, and local civil registry applications. This milestone advances the region's transition toward faster, more transparent, and streamlined public services.

DICT Region VIII Brings “Cybersecurity for Everyone” Awareness to the Community

“Strengthening Civilian Oversight and Collective Action for Safer Communities”

Crime prevention today goes beyond physical security. As more Filipinos rely on mobile phones and online services, digital safety has become an important part of keeping our communities safe.
In observance of the 32nd National Crime Prevention Week, various agencies and members of the committee came together for a series of short talks, sharing practical information and initiatives that contribute to safer and more resilient communities.

Among the participating agencies was DICT Region VIII, which brought its “Cybersecurity for Everyone” campaign closer to the community, highlighting practical ways residents and barangay personnel can protect themselves from common online threats.

📍 Barangay Calanipawan Covered Court, Tacloban City
📅 September 3, 2026

As part of the series of short talks, DICT Region VIII Cybersecurity Focal and Compliance Officer for Privacy (COP) Claire P. Fernandez shared practical cybersecurity tips to help residents and barangay personnel recognize, avoid, and report common online threats.
The discussion covered everyday risks such as identity theft, phishing, fake eGov applications, SMS sender ID spoofing, and malicious QR codes or “quishing.”

The session focused on simple and practical actions that participants can immediately apply in their daily use of mobile phones, social media, and online services.

CONNECTIVITY THAT ENABLES ACCESS
DICT also provided Starlink satellite connectivity at the outreach site, giving participants reliable internet access and allowing them to connect to online resources and avail of selected digital government services on-site.

This demonstrated how connectivity can support not only communication, but also access to information and government services, particularly in communities where reliable internet access may be limited.

SIMPLE STEPS FOR DIGITAL SAFETY
Participants were provided with practical cybersecurity materials emphasizing the STOP–CHECK–VERIFY–ACT approach:
STOP – Don't act immediately on suspicious messages or requests.
CHECK – Examine the sender, link, QR code, and details.
VERIFY – Confirm information through official channels.
ACT – Secure your accounts and report suspicious activity.

The discussion also highlighted common red flags, including urgent requests, fake prizes, suspicious links, and attempts to obtain OTPs, PINs, passwords, or other sensitive information.

Participants were also informed about appropriate channels for reporting suspected cybercrime, including the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordination Center (CICC) and the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group – Region 8.

COLLECTIVE ACTION FOR SAFER COMMUNITIES
The activity underscored an important message: crime prevention is a shared responsibility.

Through the collective efforts of NAPOLCOM, DICT, partner agencies, committee members, and the community, participants gained practical information covering different aspects of public safety—from traditional crime prevention to the growing challenges of the digital environment.

DICT's participation highlights that cybersecurity is an essential part of community safety. By helping people recognize threats, make informed decisions online, access digital services, and know where to report incidents, we can build communities that are better prepared for the risks of an increasingly connected world.
Safer communities begin with informed communities—online and offline.
