GO Manila is the City of Manila's official all-in-one services app, launched June 2020 under Mayor Isko Moreno to move routine transactions online during the pandemic. Built by Multisys Technologies with Bayad Center handling payments, it lets residents pay real-property and business taxes, request civil-registry documents, and apply for permits and health certificates from a phone.
📊 Impact
Listed at 500,000+ installs on Google Play and still actively maintained (v2.2.14, updated 2025), five years after launch and across two changes of mayor.
🎓 Lesson
A pandemic-era stopgap that stuck: a single municipal app for taxes, permits and registry requests outlasted the administration that built it.
