DICT Undersecretary Emmanuel Rey Caintic said the agency is now only waiting for local government units (LGUs) to complete their submission of vaccine recipients’ information in the verification database system.
“By early August, pwede na natin ilunsad and vaccine certificate para sa ganoon, pag magrequest ang isang tao ng vaccine certificate nandoon ang record niya most likely (we can launch the vaccine certificate so that, when a person requests for a vaccine certificate his record will be provided most likely),” Caintic said in a public briefing Saturday, July 10.
A grievance mechanism will also be set up for individuals whose vaccine certificate are not yet available. A vaccinated individual has to present their vaccination card to the LGU where they got inoculated so that their information will be uploaded in the database.
The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is seeking to tap the spectrum users fees (SUF) as capital outlay to fund the agency’s digital infrastructure programs.

Published May 25, 2021 1:17pm It may take the government two more years to provide free Wi-Fi connections to barangays and elementary schools across the nation, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) said Tuesday. During a congressional hearing, DICT Undersecretary for Digital Philippines Emmanuel Rey Caintic was asked how long it would take for the free public Wi-Fi to completely cover public schools. Right now we are including it in our 2022 budget, pero ang estimate ko sir another two years po yan of rollout to cover all of 43,000 barangays and elementary schools, he said.
