The Philippines and the European Union (EU) are working together to improve digital connectivity, strengthen cybersecurity, and expand access to satellite data under a new initiative aimed at supporting economic growth and disaster resilience. The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has raised concerns over the future of its Land Transportation Management System (LTMS), citing unresolved cybersecurity issues and system deficiencies as the agency opposes a proposal to extend its contract with technology provider Dermalog. Dermalog had earlier sought support for an additional PHP 2.5 billion budget for upgrades to the LTMS, saying the funding would be used for cybersecurity improvements, fraud detection capabilities, and anti-corruption measures. The LTO added that unresolved turnover requirements, expired contractual obligations, and outstanding cybersecurity concerns remain key factors in its position against extending the current arrangement. The PCO will lead government communication efforts and public awareness campaigns, while the DICT will work with technology platforms, strengthen cybersecurity measures, and support reporting systems.
