MANILA - A joint House committee on Tuesday approved Speaker Lord Allan Velasco’s House Resolution No.

1536 which urged the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases to establish a unified national contact tracing protocol amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As a result, numerous third parties offered disparate free contact tracing solutions, usually through mobile apps that require people to own smartphones while some establishments continued to offer manual registration to non-smart phone users,” the resolution read. The resolution also noted that IATF’s Resolution No. 85 prescribed the use of StaySafe.

The resolution also noted poor interconnection and data sharing between solution providers and the central database maintained by the Department of Health. This, she said, was manifested in the “uncontrolled” incidence of COVID-19 cases, threatening the country’s health care capacity. “It is recommended that the DOH shall be the personal information controller for all health and health-related data, the DICT to oversee the systems and develop systems that are necessary to ensure seamless flow of data, and DILG to deploy these technologies,” said Tayag.

Magalong said the government has acknowledged StaySafe.ph as the national contact tracing application. He said this is because they put time and investment in developing the said application.
