Globe Telecom Inc. expressed support to a proposed bill that aims to digitalize government processes in line with the administration’s goal to streamline transactions.

Globe said in a statement it welcomes the filing of the e-governance bill, a fresh attempt to pass an earlier Senate bill on government digitalization that was left at the committee level in the 18th Congress.

“We welcome the move towards digital tools and processes in government. This will help speed up transactions with government agencies, from getting necessary documents for school or employment to securing business permits and registration,” Globe president and chief executive Ernest Cu said.

“Digitalization offers convenience and ease of doing routine transactions. It saves time and effort that would be spent in interminable queues which is very unproductive. Ultimately, the digital shift will help reinvigorate our economy whose strength lies in our people,” he said.

The proposed measure, filed by Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez, aims to promote “citizen-centric government information and services” through the use of digital technologies.
