A.1 ON-GOING E-GOVERNMENT FUNDED PROJECTS 

1. Anti-Money The project aims to establish the Transaction Monitoring and 

Laundering Analysis System (TMAS), perceived as the appropriate IT 

Council Project system to support the processing, storage, and analysis of 

information essential for effectively implementing the antimoney 

laundering policies and regulations in the 

Philippines. The five components of the project are the 

following: 

a) data management and consolidation; 

b) data mining engine, with Online Analytical 

Processing (OLAP)/Multidimensional Online 

Analytical Processing (MOLAP) capability; 

c) visualization tools; 

d) case management and workflow; and 

e) document management with imaging 

2. ASYCUDA 

World Project 

The project aims to intensify the mandate of the BOC to 

facilitate trade exchanges and generate revenues for 

government. A web-based applications system using a 

portal/gateway shall be created to upgrade BOC's 

operational facilities, as well as enhance interfaces, 

streamline processes, and encourage transparent 

transactions. 

The project will use Asycuda World, the new e-customs 

web-based platform to be launched by the UNCTAD in 

September 2003. This new platform aims to improve tax 

revenue collection, lower transaction costs, and aid in 

combating fraud, corruption and illicit trafficking. This 

platform is envisioned to be most useful to developing 

countries where poor fixed-line telecommunications pose

9. E-LGU Project eLGU was implemented last year to assist LGUs in making a 

head start in computerization to enable better and faster 

delivery of government service. In its initial year of 

implementation, e-LGU has paved the way for the LGUs by 

laying down the framework for electronic governance. 

However, there still is a need to further build up a 

momentum to revolutionize local governance and e-enable 

the LGUs. Thus, the "Strengthening e-LGU Project" was 

conceived. 

The "Strengthening eLGU project" will bring together and 

synchronize the efforts and initiatives of four agencies 

assisting the LGUs. The objective is to electronically enable 

LGUs. The project consists of four major components, 

namely: 

Development of e-Government applications for LGUs; 

LGU capability building; 

Advocacy and promotions; and 

Empowering local communities in ICT through Community 

e-Centers (CECs)

Wireless Mobile by Newlogic and IVT in terms of the tools used and quality,

Additionally, the ASTI-Bluetooth Software Solutions intends 

to further develop the protocol stack up to the application 

layers and make this software operate with various platforms

This strategy will further enhance the positioning of the ASTI 

product as a complete Bluetooth System Solution where end 

consumers could just adapt into their systems without the
