Guide to eGov PH Super App: What are the services offered and how to register
Everything is becoming digital—from shopping, payments, to bank registration, you name it. In case you haven't checked it out yet, government services have also been made available to Pinoys through the eGov Super App.
Launched by the national government last June 2, the eGov Super App is a mobile application that serves as a one-stop hub for various government services offered by at least 26 public agencies in the country. The project was spearheaded by the Department of Information and Communications Technology with the goal of easing government transactions for Pinoys.
In his second State of the Nation Address on July 24, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said that the government is planning to integrate all its key services into the app in the near future as part of the country's immediate digital transformation.
In the meantime, here are the services available on the eGov PH Super App:

The app so far offers ten services which you can avail of depending on the type of your account. If you have yet to verify yours, the only services you could make use of are the ones titled "Tourism" and "Health."
Under Tourism, you'll get to read information and view photos of some of the country's top tourist destinations provided by the Department of Tourism. These destinations include Coron, Boracay, Puerto Princesa, Siquijor, Dumaguete, Bohol, and Ilocos Norte, among others.
There's also a tab on top where you can ideally choose among beachfront, mountain, island, and camping destinations. This feature appears to be in need of updates as no changes are made when you click on any of these buttons as of writing.
Members with unverified accounts can also avail of the services under Health. Here, you'd get a list of hospitals and health centers near your location or those in cities you would like to search for. Directions are also provided for each establishment, which you can view via Waze or GoogleMap.
Those with verified accounts, meanwhile, have full access to the rest of the app's features. One of these is titled NGAs, which will link out to websites of government agencies like the Department of Foreign Affairs and the National Bureau of Investigation where you can directly avail of their services.
Another feature is the one labeled LGU, which will show you the services offered by a specific local government unit. There's also Jobs which links out to eJobs where you can upload your resume, as well as Startup which serves as portal for tech startups in the country.
eGov Super App also houses the Bureau of Immigration's eTravel system for arriving and departing passengers in the country.
Members who have yet to register their SIM card can do so through the app's SIM feature, while those who would have to report a crime, woman and/or child abuse, scamming incident, overpricing, or accidents can file it through the app's Report feature.
