New digital system aims to strengthen government project oversight

The Blockchain Council of the Philippines, in collaboration with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), has introduced the Integrity Chain, a blockchain-powered platform designed to improve transparency and accountability in government infrastructure projects.

The system will digitize key processes such as public bidding, documentation, and project execution.

It will first be applied to foreign-assisted projects under the DPWH, which are already presumed to follow regular procedures.
