Our Initiatives
We work across multiple fronts to make Philippine government more transparent, accessible, and accountable. Every initiative is volunteer-driven, open source, and built for impact.
Data Transparency
Making government data accessible, structured, and machine-readable. We extract data from PDFs, scrape agency websites, and build APIs that anyone can use.
→ Millions of data points liberated from locked formats
Government Design Standards and Usability
Establishing design standards for government websites. We build accessible, fast, user-centered portals that prove government digital services can be world-class.
→ Official gov.ph portal adopted by DICT eGov
Budget Analysis
Deep analysis of the General Appropriations Act. We flag high-risk projects, track spending patterns, and identify budget anomalies.
→ ₱144 billion in questionable 2026 budget items identified
Technology Policy
Participating in technology policy discussions and advocating for open government, digital rights, and citizen-centered tech policy. We provide technical expertise to policymakers.
→ Contributing to national digital transformation conversations
Open Source Advocacy
All our code is open source. We advocate for government to adopt open source software and open data standards.
→ 100% of our projects publicly available on GitHub
Disaster Management and Emergency Services
Verified emergency contact information, disaster preparedness tools, and recovery resources. Real-time crisis response systems that work when you need them most.
→ Complete emergency contact database plus disaster recovery tools
Hackathons, Events, and Tech Community Empowerment
Organizing civic tech hackathons, workshops, and community events. We build capacity, share knowledge, and create spaces where developers, designers, and citizens collaborate on solutions.
→ Growing network of empowered civic tech communities nationwide
Civic Technology Community
Building a movement of developers, designers, researchers, and citizens who believe transparency is a right, not a privilege.
→ Growing volunteer network across tech and research
How We Work
Volunteer-Driven
No corporate sponsors. No government grants. Just people who believe transparency is a right. We meet on Discord, work async, and ship fast.
Open Source First
Every line of code is public. Every dataset is accessible. Every decision is documented. Transparency isn't just what we advocate for — it's how we work.
Impact Over Scale
We build tools that matter. Small teams, focused scope, real outcomes. We'd rather ship one thing that works than promise ten things that don't.
Citizens First
Government data should be formatted for people, not bureaucrats. We design for clarity, accessibility, and usability. If it's confusing, we failed.
