Rep. Brian Raymund Yamsuan of Bicol Saro party-list group is supporting an initiative to accelerate the digitalization of local government operations as this complements his advocacy of using technology to swiftly deliver support and services directly to the people.
Yamsuan said this digitalization initiative of newly appointed Secretary Jonvic Remulla of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) would not only cut red tape in the delivery of services by the local government units (LGUs) but would also help target beneficiaries who are truly in need of state-funded support.
Yamsuan was referring to Remulla’s reform agenda for the DILG, which includes prioritizing the digitalization of LGUs. The DILG chief said digitalization would enhance the efficiency of governance and make the delivery of public services transparent and more accessible.
Technology, complemented by modern equipment such as body-worn cameras for the PNP and science-driven investigative tools and processes, would help curb crime, boost public trust and confidence in our law enforcers, and build peaceful communities, Yamsuan said.
Digitalization would also help curb corruption and attract more investors who would be encouraged to set up their businesses here as a result of the streamlined operations at the local government level, Yamsuan said.
Yamsuan, who currently represents the Bicol Saro Partylist in the 19th Congress, has filed his candidacy for Representative of Parañaque’s 2nd District in the May 2025 elections.
