HOUSE Speaker Faustino \u201cBojie\u201d G. Dy III announced that the House of Representatives will shift to a paperless system and adopt blockchain technology beginning in 2026, a move that will make the Philippine Congress the first legislative body in Asia to use the technology to strengthen transparency and public trust.<\/p>\n
Dy made the announcement in a video message posted in the social media platforms of the House a day after the Chamber adjourned after ratifying the P6.793-trillion 2026 national budget.<\/p>\n
He said the reform reflects his long-held position that confidence in government must be earned through concrete action.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs your Speaker, I have always said that trust in government is built not by words alone, but by actions,\u201d Dy said.<\/p>\n
He said the transition marks a key step in the broader effort to reform and modernize Congress.<\/p>\n
\u201cKaya\u2019t nais ko ring ibahagi ang isang mahalagang hakbang na ating tatahakin para sa reforms at modernization ng Kongreso,\u201d said the longtime public servant.<\/p>\n
As part of the House\u2019s commitment to open and modern governance, Dy said the chamber will move toward a paperless Congress and adopt blockchain technology to ensure the integrity, security, and transparency of its processes, including the preparation of the national budget.<\/p>\n
He said the initiative will be undertaken with the support of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).<\/p>\n
Dy said the shift places the House at the forefront of legislative innovation in the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce the transition is completed, we will be the first legislative body in Asia to adopt this technology,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Speaker stressed that the adoption of digital tools is intended to institutionalize transparency and accountability in the legislative process.<\/p>\n
\u201cGinagawa natin ito dahil naniniwala tayo na ang transparency ay hindi lamang isang adhikain o slogan; dapat ito ay isinasagawa at isinasabuhay,\u201d the leader of the House said.<\/p>\n
