Makati expands digital service for residents
Makati City's Makatizen App, the first-of-its-kind digital citizen app in the country, gets a new upgrade after it is made available for iOS users, bringing services and information closer to the people.
Makati City Mayor Abigail Binay said iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch users can now download the Makatizen App for free from the App Store. Through the app, users will be able to access the latest news, updates, and information about events and projects of the city government through their mobile phones.
The Makatizen App was first launched during the 347th founding anniversary of Makati City on June 1, 2017, and was initially available for android phones via Play Store. It was the product of a groundbreaking publicprivate partnership (PPP) agreement between the City and Neo-Converge ICT Solutions, Inc.
Features of the Makatizen App include Maka-Update, which gives the latest information, advisories and announcements about the latest projects, events and services of the City Government; Maka-Negosyo – provides important information about why and how to invest and start a business in Makati City; How can we help – allows users to report traffic accidents, waste management issues, construction issues, stray animals, and other concerns in the community; and Maka-SOS – users can use this to contact emergency hotlines in case of any emergency with just one click.
