DICT integrating NCAP into eGovPH
The Department of Information and Communications Technology is in the process of integrating the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) into the government's one-stop mobile application, eGovPH.
During a Palace press briefing, DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr. said they already met with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority regarding the matter.
''So, ito pong mga bagong feature po na ini-integrate natin that we're working closely tulad po sa NCAP po – nag-meeting na po kami sa MMDA so mari-receive na po iyong mga penalties mo doon sa eGov app 'no,'' Almirol said.
(So the new features we are integrating, we're working closely including this NCAP... we met with MMDA so you may receive your penalties in the eGov app.)
''So, 'pag natapos po iyong integration, ang ganda po nito kasi makikita mo na doon kung ilan na po iyong violation mo at kahit nasa bahay ka na rin, puwede mong i-settle na rin iyong penalty mo 'no,'' he added.
(Once we're finished with the integration, the public will be able to see on the app the violations they have committed and they can settle the penalties even if they are at home.)
The eGovPH is a single platform where the public can access their digital government IDs and conduct transactions with the government.
The NCAP uses closed-circuit television, digital cameras, and/or other gadgets or technology to capture videos and images of vehicles violating traffic laws.
Under the policy, violators can pay fines online or at the MMDA office. They can also contest their supposed violations caught under the NCAP.
The NCAP was resumed after the Supreme Court partially lifted the temporary restraining order against the policy, allowing only the MMDA to implement it. —AOL, GMA Integrated News

Marcos backs NCAP: That lessens corruption
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has expressed support for the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP), saying it helps reduce corruption involving law enforcers and motorists. "In principle, agree ako diyan sa no contact. Agree ako diyan, magandang layunin niyan. Ang layunin niyan is 'yung traffic ano, masundan 'yung rules of the road na 'di tayo kung anu-ano 'yung ginagawa natin," Marcos said during an episode of the BBM Podcast on Friday. (In principle, I agree with the no contact policy. Its goal is laudable. It aims to ensure that the rules of the road are followed, while doing away with all sorts of other acts.) "Bawas 'yan sa korapsyon (That lessens corruption)," Marcos added. Contrary to the view of critics of the policy, Marcos said the NCAP would ensure that extortion will no longer be practiced. "Para sa akin it will be the opposite… Ito it will be based solely kung ano 'yung nasa picture. Magbabayad siya ng multa, hindi binibigay sa kahit kaninong tao, it's straight to the system," Marcos said. (It will be the opposite. It will be based solely on what's in the picture. They will pay penalties, which will go straight to the system.) The NCAP uses closed-circuit television, digital cameras, and/or other gadgets or technology to capture videos and images of vehicles violating traffic laws. Under the policy, violators can pay fines online or at the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) office. They can also contest their supposed violations caught under the NCAP. The NCAP was resumed after the Supreme Court partially lifted the temporary restraining order against the policy, allowing only the MMDA to implement it. — VDV, GMA Integrated News

'Free WiFi for All' program to boost internet access for last mile schools
Teachers and students in geographically isolated and underserved public schools are expected to benefit from improved internet connectivity under the government's ongoing "Free WiFi for All" initiative. The Digital Bayanihan Project is a joint effort by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the Department of Education (DepEd). The project aims to expand internet access across schools in remote areas as part of the government's digital inclusion efforts for Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDA) communities. Among the Last Mile Schools that now have internet access are: Radagan Elementary School, Ilocos Norte (Region I) Chanarian Elementary School, Batanes (Region II) Tibagan Elementary School, Bulacan (Region III) Caigdal National High School, Quezon (Region IV-A) Ulanguan Elementary School, Marinduque (Region IV-B) Lipata Integrated School, Camarines Sur (Region V) Bay-ang National High School, Iloilo (Region VI) Salamanca National High School, Cebu (Region VII) Tigbawan Integrated School, Leyte (Region VIII) Pag-asa Elementary School, Tawi-Tawi (Region IX) Dalingap Elementary School, Misamis Occidental (Region X) Malungon Elementary School, North Cotabato (Region XII) Cabawa Elementary School, Surigao del Norte (Region XIII) Datu Saldong Domino Elementary School, Agusan del Norte (Region XIII) Tangalan National High School, Apayao (CAR) Previously having limited or no internet connection, these schools are now included in a growing network of connected schools through infrastructure support under the government's Bagong Pilipinas campaign. 'Marami talagang magagawa kapag may internet na. Pararamihin pa namin ito, especially sa GIDA areas—yung mga isolated at underserved,' said President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. (There's so much more that can be done when there's internet. We will expand this further, especially in GIDA areas—those that are geographically isolated and disadvantaged.) Education Secretary Sonny Angara took part in the same virtual event while visiting Datu Saldong Domino Elementary School in Agusan del Norte. The school, previously without electricity, now runs on solar power provided by the National Electrification Administration (NEA). It also received digital learning tools such as Starlink internet, tablets, smart TVs, electric fans and school supplies from the National Electrification Administration and FDC Misamis Power Corporation. 'This is digital bayanihan in action. Kapag kinokonekta natin ang mga paaralan, kinokonekta rin natin ang mga estudyante sa mas magandang kinabukasan,' said Angara. (This is digital bayanihan in action. When we connect schools, we also connect students to a better future.) DICT Secretary Henry Aguda reiterated the department's goal: to connect all public schools to the internet before the end of 2025. Through the Free Public Internet Access Program, Bayanihan SIM, and continuous infrastructure deployment, coupled with DepEd's digitalization efforts, the initiative seeks to close the digital divide and support learning across all regions. —Sherylin Untalan/RF, GMA Integrated News
