Transparency is not a feature. It's a right.
BetterGov.ph is a volunteer-driven civic technology and open source movement making Philippine government data accessible, understandable, and actionable.
Join the movement →What we're up against
Government data exists but it's buried in PDFs, scattered across agency sites, formatted for bureaucrats not citizens.
Budgets worth trillions of pesos pass with minimal public scrutiny.
Citizens deserve to know where their money goes — without needing a law degree or FOIA request.
Government websites should be beautiful, accessible, and actually work. That's part of our mission too.
