According to Makati City Mayor Jejomar Erwin S. Binay, the app, which was developed by the city’s Urban Development Department, earned praises for the sophistication of its architecture which draws information from the city’s expansive traffic management infrastructure, CCTV cameras and weather stations so that updates are provided in 15-minute intervals.
“The City Government of Makati has long believed that technology can and should be placed at the service of people. The My Makati app is but one step in our efforts to harness the power of the Web to give our citizens access to current information that affects their ordinary lives,” Mayor Binay said in an official statement.
“This app is proof of all that is possible when good people and powerful technologies meet.”
The MyMakati app can be downloaded free of charge from the Windows 8 store and can be installed in any PC, notebook or tablet computer running the Windows 8 operating system.
