The Lived Experiences of Digital Frontliners in the Philippines: A Qualitative Exploration of Public Service Digital Transformation

Author(s) Dr. Reyner M. Villaseñor, DPA, MBA
Country Philippines
Abstract This study explores the lived experiences of digital frontliners—government employees directly involved in implementing and managing digital public services in the Philippines. Using a qualitative, phenomenological approach, in-depth interviews with 10 key informants from various government departments were conducted to understand digital transformation's challenges, strategies, and impacts.
Findings reveal that digital initiatives, such as digitizing payment systems and human resource processes, have significantly improved efficiency, transparency, and service delivery. Participants played crucial roles in integrating these digital systems and leading strategic initiatives across government operations. Despite these advancements, challenges such as outdated technology, insufficient resources, and digital literacy disparities persist, hindering seamless implementation.
Effective collaboration with financial institutions, technology providers, and international organizations is crucial to bridge these gaps. However, it's not just about bridging gaps, it's about continuously improving. Continuous improvement in digital literacy, infrastructure, and policy support, alongside increased budgets and skilled personnel, are vital for sustaining and advancing digital transformation efforts in the public sector. This commitment to continuous improvement is what will drive the success of our digital transformation journey.
The study's findings contribute valuable insights into the complexities of public service digitalization, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to empower digital frontliners. By addressing these challenges and fostering a culture of innovation, the research supports the development of a national program focused on capacity building and continuous professional development, ultimately enhancing the efficiency, transparency, and accessibility of digital public services in the Philippines.
