Forgot to blog about this last week but if you haven’t read it from Inq7.net, the Philippine government portal gov.ph is allocation Php50USD 0.85INR 72EUR 0.81CNY 6 Million big bucks just to re-design the front-end of the portal.
Dang, Php50USD 0.85INR 72EUR 0.81CNY 6 M is a lot! What are they planning to put up there? A circus?
The total budget was actually Php110USD 2INR 159EUR 2CNY 14 Million but half of it is allocated to do an online payment gateway. Developing a gateway to serve as an e-payment facility for government agencies like the SSS, GSIS, BIR, Customs and the likes is pretty much understandable.
But Php50USD 0.85INR 72EUR 0.81CNY 6 M is just way too much for a new design. Not even the biggest corporations in the Philippines spent that much to design their websites.
I smell something fishy here.

best way to smell out the fish is to apply. mahanap kung nasan yung bulok.

My highschool classmate who is currently studying PolSci in AdMU and had a stint in one of our Senator’s office told me something about government projects. In this case, I could infer from what my friend told me that:
10m (or even way less) is only the actual budget for that project. The rest… yeah stinkin fishy!
kates says:
With the level of greed they have in the gov’t, we’d be lucky if there’ll be fish to smell. Ubos lahat yan kahit bulok.

sepik.mom says:
OVER! Grabe naman yan! Puede ka kayang mag-bid para dyan, Abe?
demonhale says:
Hey Abe, we should team up with a bunch of other coders and designers to try and do this, maybe its fishy but we souldnt know unless we try…
Anyways the report says “front-end” … Maybe they are pertaining to the whole website pages over the database and system under it… It doesnt necessarilly mean just the front-page…

50 million pesos for a design? that’s insane
