EO32 is critical to becoming a competitive digital economy
July 9, 2023CitizenWatch Philippines commends the President’s timely action with his issuance of Executive Order 32 mandating the streamlining of permitting process for the expansion and upgrading of country’s telecommunications and Internet infrastructure.
We hope that all relevant government agencies and local governments will fully implement and institutionalize a “zero backlog policy” in the processing of applications, permits and clearances covered by EO.
We look forward to the fast crafting of the implementing rules and regulations of EO 32 and its full implementation as this is critical to the systemic digital transformation of the government bureaucracy and the Philippine’s competitiveness in a highly digitized world ecosystem.
