Xinapse Donates Transparency of Governance System to Sinag ng Bayan Foundation

Perhaps many of the most significant moments in our careers revolve around a small packet that reflects the value of all our hard work . . . Our salaries. Everytime we get paid our just rewards, we smile at the replenishment of our purchasing powers. Then suddenly, our payslips would show something that would make us twitch. Admit it, how many times have we all asked, “How can they say this government is poor, when on the taxes that I pay alone, I'm sure it should be wealthy?”

For the sake of peace, order and sense of direction to exist in our country, we all have to pay our dues. Our taxes serve as our payment to the government, for making it easier for us to perform our personal and professional responsibilities. In the same way that we need compensation in order to function well in the society, the government needs funds to be productive. But then again, that begs the question . . . “How do we find out if they are productive?”

Well . . . Fret no more. Sinag ng Bayan, Director Ermin Garcia Jr, signs a donation for a Transparency of Governance System from Xinapse, Inc. with Mr. Jade Deinla, President and Chief Executive Officer of Xinapse, as the co-signatory. The System serves as an anti-corruption system which stores the pertinent details of government bids and their individual progress.

Sinag ng Bayan Foundation is an anti-corruption NGO, funded by a group of concerned citizens. The system aims to inform the public of the trends and status of government expenditures. One of the core advocacies of the group is to let the people know where their taxes go.

A list of all the projects to which our taxes go can now be shown with few clicks of a button, through the help of Sinag ng Bayan Foundation and Xinapse, Inc.
