Last December 1, 2019, Manila City Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso sealed a three-party agreement with Bayad Center President & CEO, Manuel Tuason, MultiSys President & CEO, David Almirol Jr., and Bayad Center SVP & COO, Francispito Quevedo to promote the City of Manila as a smart city.
The City of Manila will be using their platforms to launch upcoming projects to simplify transactions for various bills and payments and other local government services including Bayad Center’s bills payment. In addition, MultiSys will be developing the GoManila! App, a one-stop mobile application to ease the lifestyle of every Manilenos.
“Using technology in governance gives ease in doing business, convenience to our constituents and will limit human discretion and naturally will eradicate corruption,” Mayor Isko explained.
The partnerships with MultiSys and Bayad Center are part of Mayor Isko’s efforts in implementing the ease of doing business in Manila City. The program’s aim is to accelerate government services like taxes and permits thru online portals with e-payment services.
Bayad Center is an outsource company that engages in payment collection and the most convenient way for most Filipinos to use as bills payment. While MultiSys is a company that engages in software engineering. Recently, together they have created a new-generation app for bills and payment that can be easily access through phone.
“With our Smart City and Smart Government platforms, MultiSys is committed to contribute technology advancements to local government units, expedite their processes, centralize their collections, and automate their systems,” CEO and founder of MultiSys, David Almirol Jr. said.
The goal of Go Manila is to provide fast and convenient way in terms of payment and financial services throughout the city but also globally. Currently, the app is available through Google Play.
