COTABATO CITY<\/strong> \u2013 A regional lawmaker has filed a bill before the Bangsamoro Transition Authority \u2013 Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BTA-BARMM) calling for a regionwide geotagging system for infrastructure projects for updates and transparency.<\/p>\n

Member of Parliament (MP), engineer Don Mustapha Loong, the principal author of BTA Parliament Bill 95, said Friday the proposal intends to ensure efficient government project monitoring in the region.<\/p>\n

Geotagging, as described in the proposed bill, is the process of adding metadata and geographical information to the physical or site location of government infrastructure projects and uploading them to a web-based application.<\/p>\n

Loong said it also includes the project\u2019s name, location, and cost to allow the public and netizens to check the progress of projects in real-time.<\/p>\n

\u201cGeotagging of all infrastructure projects in the BARMM will allow for more effective policy-making, improve the planning and programming of development projects, cumulative location of development projects, and track and monitor the progress of government projects,\u201d he said in his explanatory note.<\/p>\n

In 2020, the Department of Public Works and Highways\u2019 national office required mandatory geotagging of all infrastructure projects to improve planning, budgeting, project monitoring, and contract management processes.<\/p>\n

Loong, former regional public works secretary of the defunct Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, also explained that geotagging would serve as a transparency mechanism that allows the citizens to monitor developments in their communities, and avoid duplication and overlapping infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will also allow the government agencies to determine which areas are receiving development projects,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Co-authors of the bill were BTA members engineer Baintan Ampatuan, Amilbahar Mawallil, lawyers Laisa Alamia, Rasol Mitmug, Jr., Suharto Ambolodto, and Rasul Ismael. (PNA)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
