The mechanism, Budget Secretary Florencio Abad said on Sunday, has been integrated at the electronic Transparency and Accountability Initiative for Lump Sum Funds (e-TAILS) web site ( http://pdaf.dbm.gov.ph ) to better monitor the spending of pork-barrel funds allocated to lawmakers. Launched in 2011, e-TAILS keeps track of the use of PDAF by showing information on the breakdown of releases to legislators, where and when the funds were released, the projects that a legislator endorsed for PDAF support, as well as the project beneficiaries. Abad said the new features allow Filipinos to download the yearly report of PDAF releases, post comments and upload photos or videos as feedback on PDAF-funded projects, as well as find key information on how PDAF works. The rationale behind the e-TAILS web site is to make sure that information on PDAF releases and the projects they support are presented in an accurate and user-friendly platform, so that the public can gain quick access to PDAF information and give feedback on the projects endorsed by legislators.With its new features, the e-TAILS web site strengthens the DBMs commitment to increase citizen awareness and engagement, specifically with respect to PDAF use and management, Budget Undersecretary and Chief Information Officer Richard Moya said. Although the new features are already up and running, were continually improving the site post-launch so it better responds to the needs of those who visit it, he added. According to Moya, citizens can now click on a specific project and post a comment using their Facebook account, or post a photo or video to show the implementation status and result of PDAF-supported projects. The homepage also leads site visitors to frequently asked questions on PDAF, besides featuring a step-by-step guide in navigating the new features on the web site. Were keeping pace with an audience that uses the Internet as their main information resource. More important, however, is the fact that were also giving concerned citizens an interactive online venue, where they can give honest feedback on PDAF projects, Abad also said. Altogether, e-TAILS has been improved to empower the Filipino people by giving them easier access to information. This is also a very well-timed development, given the growing clamor for better transparency and accountability in the government, a call that the Aquino administration is responding to by creating spaces for dialogue and public participation in the budget process, he added.

Disebutkan Tommy, proses tender pengelolaan kawasan komersial dilakukan secara online. Konsep ini diakuinya pertama kali diterapkan oleh operator bandara di Indonesia. Seperti saat mengikuti tender di Bandara Ngurah Rai. Peserta tender bisa mengunjungi website http://www.tenderbaliairport.com. Ia membantah terjadi perlakuan khusus bagi peserta ataupun ada permainan dalam tender. Di sana pakai sistem QA, kalau anda peserta peserta tender bisa tanya, si peserta B bisa liat pertanyaannya. Itu sangat terbuka dan pertama kali. Ini hasilnya 100%. Kalau panitia tender dari Prancis, jelasnya. Diakuinya dahulu untuk membuka toko atau menjadi mitra di bandara susahnya bukan main. Umumnya terjadi permainan dengan jajaran manajemen atau internal bandara. Biasanya kalau saya mau cari toko. Ini temannya dirut, saudaranya dirut, anggota DPR atau ini gitu.
