𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗢𝗬 𝗗𝗘𝗩𝗦 🇵🇭

Which local government unit do you think will be the next to launch a transparency website? We have already built open source repository templates to make the process easier. You can just fork the project, customize the settings, and plug in your local government's data. Let’s work together to build a more transparent and accountable government one commit at a time.

Voting and paying taxes are just our basic duties. We have the talent to build a progressive Philippines, but real patriotism means stepping up and doing our part for the community. Our generation has the power to finally break the old cycles and make real change happen. The future of our country is in our hands, so let's work together to build a nation where every Filipino can truly prosper. 🇵🇭

May matagal nang naka-tengga na government project sa inyong lugar na sobrang tagal ng progress o abandonado na? I-report yan! 🕵️👀

I-report anonymously sa: 🔗 https://bisto.ph

May bagong platform na para sa mga gustong mag-ulat ng mga proyekto ng gobyerno - ligtas, anonymous, at accessible sa lahat. 🔍

Bisto Proyekto is here! Maaari ka nang mag-log in at mag-ulat ng mga proyekto ng gobyerno - nang hindi malalaman kung sino ka.

Ito ay inisyatiba ng TAPAT at BetterGov.ph, kasama ang DPWH, CBCP, at marami pang partners.

We're volunteers who don't just post on social media - we read budget documents, infrastructure reports, and project allocations para sa mas transparent na government. No special skills required, lahat pwedeng tumulong! 🇵🇭

Inspired by BetterGov.PH, BetterCalauan.org and BetterLB.org are part of the growing "Angry Nerds" volunteer network.

Sali na!
👉 National level: bettergov.ph/discord
👉 Calauan locals: discord.bettercalauan.org/
👉 Elbi locals: discord.gg/dA6tkU4FYS/

Hello Angry Nerds!

"Out of this small platform emerged a deeper collaboration with a wide volunteer network now fondly called the “Angry Nerds”: data scientists, engineers, finance professionals, technologists, planners, and researchers who were tired of shouting into the void and decided instead to read the fine print. Together, we combed through thousands of pages of budget documents, infrastructure line items, flood control allocations, and unprogrammed appropriations. What we found were not abstract problems, but patterns such as duplication, opacity, outdated assumptions, and projects that carried high corruption, fiscal, and climate risk."

Naka-save na ba 'tong mga emergency hotlines sa phone mo?

Kung hindi pa, i-save mo na!!

Wag mong hintaying magka-emergency pa bago mo hanapin 'tong mga numero.

PNP, BFP, MDRRMO, at iba pang important numbers ng Calauan, isang tawag lang dapat 'yan.

Screenshot niyo na 'to o i-share sa GC niyo para lahat updated.

Big shoutout kay 𝗦𝗶𝗿 Jvn Mrtnz (𝗦𝗦𝗧 𝟭 @ DepEd Tayo-Dayap National Integrated HS-Laguna) for conceptualizing and creating the 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗮𝗻.𝗼𝗿𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗼!! 🙌

Gusto naming lumago ang community na 'to, at kailangan namin kayo.

Kung interesado kayong mag-contribute, ito ang mga detalye:

Para sa 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀:
• Kailangan ng mga data gatherers at verifiers - may ~10% pa tayong missing data (mostly cellphone numbers ng mga offices).
• Kung may kilala kayo na Barangay o LGU personnel na pwedeng maging point person para sa mas madaling coordination.
• Maaari rin mag-invite ng members at mag-bigay ng feedback or suggestions.

Para sa 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 (𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗮𝗻, 𝘀𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗮 𝗸𝗮𝘆𝗼?):
• Pwedeng mag-extend ng features ng site (tourism page, citizen's charter, etc.)
• Pati na rin sa pagma-manage ng Discord at FB group

𝗣𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗶?

Ang contractor na "ST. MATTHEW GEN. CONTRACTOR & DEVELOPMENT CORP." ay may status na [REVOKED] sa DPWH records. 🤔

Mga taga-Dayap - kumusta na ba ang project na 'to sa lugar niyo? May nakikita ba kayong improvement pagdating ng ulan?
