Epektibo na ngayong araw, 23 ng Abril 2026 ang Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) ng E-Governance Act na isang mahalagang hakbang ng Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) sa pagtataguyod ng utos ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na gawing mas mabilis, episyente, at bukas ang serbisyo ng gobyerno para sa bawat Pilipino.

Pinirmahan ng DICT ang IRR ng E-Governance Act noong ika-24 ng Marso 2026, at agad itong naging available sa Official Gazette of the Philippines website sa parehong petsa.

I-scan ang QR code o i-download ang IRR sa:https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/downloads/2026/03mar/20260324-IRR-RA-12254-FRM_.pdf

Ito na ang simula ng isang gobyernong digital na mas madali, mas maaasahan at mas abot-kamay para sa bawat Pilipino.
