00:00When the e-travel system is institutionalized in the country,

00:04we will talk with the E-Government Undersecretary David Almirol, Jr.,

00:10Department of Information and Communications Technology or DICT.

00:15Usec Almirol, good afternoon.

00:17Good afternoon, Alfred.

00:19Sir, what is the importance of Administrative Order No. 24 of President Marcos

00:25and what are the specific functions of this e-travel system based on Administrative Order No. 24?

00:32Administrative Order No. 24 will not only speed up the declaration of our passengers

00:40but it will also simplify the various systems.

00:43In the past, you need to use 8 systems to enter the country.

00:48First, you have an Arrival Card that you need to fill out.

00:51Second, you have a Departure Card.

00:53Third, you have a Customs Form.

00:55Fourth, you have a Tourism Form for our tourists.

00:59You also have a Cruise Form.

01:01You also have an OFW System.

01:03You also have a website to declare your illness.

01:07So, for the first time, we were able to unify these 8 systems in a single platform.

01:13That's good because sometimes it's a hassle.

01:16It takes a while and it takes time.

01:19Sometimes, it's delayed or our passengers are left behind.

01:23If that's the case, since when are we doing this?

01:27Is it just one?

01:28Next year, the 5 agencies are helping each other.

01:32But now, there are 8 agencies that are helping each other.

01:34So, it's not yet in place?

01:36It was already in place last year.

01:37Last year?

01:38Yes.

01:39Alright.

01:40So, okay.

01:41Based on the regulations, DICT will lead the technical working group.

01:45What are the agencies that will be included in this?

01:48As you said, to make the e-travel system in the country easier and better.

01:54For now, there are 8.

01:56What's new is that Customs was integrated in our e-travel.

02:00So, we removed the manual form of both the baggage declaration and the currency declaration.

02:08Second, the integration of OFW Pass in our e-travel.

02:12So, we don't need to show documents or papers to our OFWs.

02:19They can go directly to immigration.

02:23Yes.

02:24So, why did we decide to focus on this?

02:29Because you mentioned earlier that there are 8 and there are a lot.

02:33So, why is this what we need to highlight or prioritize in the 8 that you mentioned earlier?

02:40The health declaration, departure, arrival, OFW assistance.

02:45Why did we decide to focus on this?

02:47Because immigration is already integrated.

02:49So, we just enhanced our immigration.

02:52This is also the way to remove the queue aside from border control.

02:58Before, when you scan the passport of the immigration officer, the passenger,

03:02there are manuals that the immigration officer will enter.

03:05What airport you came from, what airline you flew from, and so on and so forth.

03:09So, now, the moment you scan the passport in immigration or e-gate, everything is automatic.

03:14And the system is also in charge of providing real-time data in tourism,

03:18real-time data in the Department of Health,

03:22real-time data in our BOQ or Bureau of Quarantine.

03:26These two, the customs and the DMW, this is a new feature that we integrated.

03:33Do we have a study on how this will speed up the process?

03:38It's big because of the number of passengers entering.

03:41And imagine before, the crowd at the airport is still looking for paper,

03:45there's even a ball pen there, they will fill up.

03:48They will sit aside in one area to fill up.

03:50Now, 72 hours before the flight, they can use this e-travel.

03:54At the same time, you don't even need to use the manual forms that are being filled up.

03:59Before, the manual form is encoded manually

04:02so that there will be data on transportation, health, and tourism.

04:07Before, that's how it was done. Now, it's just a QR code. Is that different?

04:13Before, there was a QR code.

04:14Now, there's no more.

04:15Now, there's no more QR code.

04:16Although customs needs the QR code for scanning,

04:20but now, you don't even need to show your QR code.

04:23Yes, that's why.

04:24Sometimes, when I fill up the e-travel, they give me a QR code.

04:29And then, I'll screenshot it.

04:31Then, I'll ask for it directly.

04:33They didn't ask for it.

04:34So, I'll say, this is it.

04:36It's automatic.

04:38It's automated.

04:39When you scan the passport of the immigration officer, your data is already there.

04:43Yes.

04:44So, it removes a lot of friction in our transportation.

04:49Yusek, are we going to use the same interface or the same app?

04:55It's the same.

04:56We'll just enhance it.

04:58If you want it to be faster so that you won't have to input your name,

05:01use the E-Gov Super App.

05:03Because if you use the E-Gov Super App, you'll just fill up a few travel details

05:09for your small questionnaires.

05:11The E-Gov Super App is different.

05:14The E-Gov Super App is one of the E-Travel services that's inside the E-Gov Super App.

05:20Ah, okay.

05:21So, you said that there are others that are preferred so that you won't have to input all of that in the other apps.

05:30Is that right?

05:31If you're on the E-Travel website, you have to enter some information.

05:35Yes.

05:36But if you have the E-Gov Super App, aside from seeing your various government services,

05:40including your national ID,

05:43one of the services there is the E-Travel as well.

05:46Ah, okay.

05:47So, it minimizes all the Q&A.

05:51Everything is there.

05:52Okay.

05:53Aside from the E-Travel registration process that will be enhanced,

05:58the international seaport and cruise forms,

06:02what are the specific things that need to be corrected?

06:07Before, there was another form.

06:10This is what tourism needs.

06:12This is the seaport form in the Department of Transportation,

06:16and the cruise form for tourism.

06:19Now, we've actually embedded it.

06:21We've also launched it.

06:23So, the seaport automation form and the cruise form are also in E-Travel.

06:28So, everything that arrives in the Philippines,

06:30whether it's the airport, seaport, or our cruise,

06:34can be seen in E-Travel.

06:36So, only one system will be used for everything.

06:40Yusek, what do you think will be the effect of this on international travels

06:45in terms of the impact on the system,

06:48especially for the foreigners who travel to our country,

06:51particularly in terms of the health declaration

06:56and the overall registration process?

07:00First of all, we are one of the countries where our airports are completely paperless.

07:07So, for our tourists and passengers,

07:10you don't even need to go to the airport.

07:12Just relax.

07:13Just do your E-Travel.

07:15Because you can do it 72 hours before your flight.

07:18So, you can do that even if you're just at home.

07:20At the same time, the government agencies now have their information in real-time.

07:25Tourism, DMW, Transportation, and the Department of Health.

07:31So, for now, you can see that it's increasing.

07:34Our tourists and travelers are getting smaller.

07:38To give government agencies also to have a better decision-making as well.

07:41At least, that's good.

07:43That's a big help to the agencies.

07:45Just send a message to our countrymen who are dependent on us now.

07:52Well, to our beloved countrymen,

07:54it's good to use our E-Travel system

07:58so that you won't have a hard time with all the forms you need to fill out.

08:03So, when you arrive at the airport, just relax.

08:05You don't even need to use a lot of manual forms

08:09or different websites to travel.

08:13For our foreigners, our tourists,

08:16this is a good gift, especially before Christmas.

08:20For those who will travel to the Philippines,

08:23this will reduce the congestion in our country.

08:29So, you can do this online, on your laptop or on your phone?

08:33Yes.

08:34What about the senior citizens?

08:36You know what they think, right?

08:37Maybe they prefer the paper.

08:39Maybe there are others who prefer the paper.

08:41Do you still have it?

08:42Actually, it's not necessary for the senior citizens or children.

08:46You can do it.

08:47For example, me, I'm a father.

08:50I can do the E-Travel for my family now.

08:53So, you don't need to do it one by one.

08:55So, for example, if you're a family,

08:57you can do the E-Travel for all of them.

08:59If I remember correctly, it's like that in Japan.

09:02Yes.

09:03It's like the head of the family.

09:04Yes.

09:05I remember it's the same in the Philippines.

09:08But, for example, if you're alone,

09:10the senior citizen is alone or the senior citizen is married.

09:13And when it comes to that,

09:15sometimes there are still people who can't fill up the E-Travel app.

09:19They can't fill up the app.

09:21So, for now, before you travel,

09:24even if you're just at home,

09:26before you go to the airport,

09:28there are people who can help.

09:29Or just in case you really need assistance,

09:32the Department of Transportation and DICT has placed

09:36people who can assist at the airport.

09:38We have tablets.

09:39There are tablets there.

09:40So, we have tablets that are deployed at all airports.

09:44And there are people who can assist there.

09:45If they don't know how to do it,

09:47even the officer himself can help them.

09:50Yes, okay.

09:51Thank you very much for your time,

09:54E-Government Undersecretary David Almirol, Jr.

09:57of the Department of Information and Communications Technology or DICT.
