Good evening, Ormoc!
Here’s our community update on BetterOrmoc.org (BETA) — with emphasis on cleaner, more accurate government info:
✅ Mas organized na ang Offices & Services data
- We created a proper “Offices” database table and linked Services to the correct office.
- Updated the Services API so it now pulls the right office details automatically.
- “Responsible Office” in each service is now dynamic (dili na static/placeholder). Though need pa i enhance.
- We also added dynamic Office pages (each office has its own page), and Service pages now link directly to the responsible office.

✅ Real Officials Data (2025 roster)
- We updated the officials list to match the verified 2025 roster (Mayor, Vice Mayor, Councilors) with real names + photos.
- Added photo source credit (ormoc.gov.ph).

✨ UI & Quality improvements
- Officials page now highlights 3 executive leaders clearly.
- Fixed image cropping (object-top) and improved ServiceCard performance.

⚠️ Reminder: BETA pa ni — naa pay placeholders
- Barangays / Barangay Officials still have placeholder entries while we prepare the structure for complete, encoded data.
- We’re actively cross-checking, but daghan pa’g work to make everything complete and 100% accurate.

🤝 We’re open to community help
Even small contributions help a lot—like:
- Correct name sa inyong Barangay Captain/officials
- Updated contact details
- Missing/corrected government info
- For techies: you can help improve the platform (open-source soon if naa'y volunteers)

📩 If you can contribute (data or code), message us here on Messenger.
Every correction helps make BetterOrmoc more reliable for everyone.

👋 Maayong adlaw, Ormoc!

We are excited to announce that the official BetterOrmoc.org website is launching soon! 🚀✨

What is BetterOrmoc? It's a new volunteer project built by Ormocanons for Ormocanons. A central hub designed to make living in our city easier — find service requirements, track ordinances, check the budget, and see real-time data.

🤖 We Need Your Help! This is a 100% volunteer, non-profit citizen initiative. Since we are just starting, the data you see currently might not be 100% accurate yet.

That is exactly why we need YOU. We are calling on the community to help us verify information and fill in the gaps.

You can contribute in two ways:

💻 For Techies: Help us build and code the platform (it's open source!).
📝 For Everyone: help us validate data, report corrections, or provide updated guidelines for city services.

Want to be part of the team? Send us a message right here on Messenger! 📩

Watch out for the launch!
