Abstract The Electronic Budget (eBUDGET) and Electronic New Government Accounting System (eNGAS) were digital platforms designed to automate and streamline financial management processes within government departments, aiming to enhance efficiency, accuracy, transparency, and decision-making. This study explored the lived experiences of nine (9) finance personnel in the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Surigao del Norte province, focusing on implementing eNGAS and budget systems. The Philippine government has adopted these systems to enhance financial management transparency, efficiency, and accountability. The researcher purposively sampled nine (9) finance services personnel and coded them from A to I to protect their identities. Key themes emerged from the categories and meaning units produced from the verbatim data, with 175 psychological meaning units classified into 14 concepts and six categories for the eBUDGET system and 162 psychological meaning units classified into 15 concepts and five categories for eNGAS. This study shed light on the challenges and benefits realized during the implementation process by exploring the lived experiences of nine selected finance personnel from the DPWH Surigao del Norte Province. The findings stressed the transformative power of the eBUDGET system and eNGAS in improving accountability, streamlining procedures, and enabling informed decision-making. Despite initial obstacles, such as learning curves and technological difficulties, continuous support, and adaptable strategies facilitated successful implementation. The study's implications extended to DPWH administrators, finance personnel, and future researchers, emphasizing the importance of embracing technological advancements, adaptability, ongoing training, and capacity-building initiatives. Reflecting on the experiences shared, it became evident that while the journey towards implementing the budget system and ENGAS may have been challenging, the resulting improvements in efficiency, accuracy, transparency, and decision-making justified the efforts invested, promising a brighter future for public financial management.
