Pena said that the Department of Budget and Managements (DBM) was allocating about one billion pesos in 2006 for e-government projects.
These include a 200 million-peso e-accounting system for DBM, an integrated government financial system also under the DBM, the modernization of the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority, and the modernization of the anti-cybercrime capabilities of the Philippine National Police and the National Bureau of Investigation.
CICT commissioner Tim Diaz de Rivera has listed down the project allocated resources under the e-government fund.

Pena said that the technical working group will be asked to review the existing government ICT projects that were allocated funding in 2005.
He noted that some agencies have yet to start implementing e-government projects that have been given funding under the yearly e-government fund. These projects include an e-Overseas Filipino Workers Link project of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration and a DBM project, Pena added.
"We will make these resources available to other agencies," the CICT official said.
The CICT official said that problems in the implementation of e-government projects last year highlighted the need to train government proponents in project management.
