I'm excited to share a project proposal for our province: "My CHub." (Calatagan HUB)
Inspired by "My NAGA" app, a successful community apps, this platform aims to be a single hub for all of us. It will make it easier to access local services, stay informed, and directly report issues to help our community.
This is a proposal, and I'm looking for support to make it a reality. If you believe this app could help our province, please share this post.
Let's build a smarter, more connected community together!
🌳Welcome to My CHub🌳
The Purpose of the "My CHub" App
My CHub is a mobile application designed to serve as the central hub for information and services for all provincial residents. Its core purpose is twofold:
👫For Citizens: To simplify access to government services, provide accurate information, and empower community members to participate in local governance.
🏢For the Government: To establish a more effective and transparent channel for communication with residents, streamline the process of addressing local issues, and showcase responsiveness to public concerns.
Core Features and Button Functionality
The app's features are centered on empowering citizens by putting essential services at their fingertips. Here is a breakdown of the buttons on the home screen and their intended functionality:
📋Primary Menu (Home Screen)
⚙️Services (Gear Icon):

📒Citizen Guide (Book Icon):

A brief description.
Workflow: Once submitted, the report will be routed to the appropriate government office. Users can track the status of their report—whether it has been received, is in progress, or has been resolved.
🟦Button: "View Reports" (Blue Button):
Functionality: This is the app's transparency feature. Users can view all reported issues from the community. Reports can be filtered by status (pending, in-progress, resolved) or by the type of problem. This showcases to the public that the government is actively listening to and addressing their concerns.
Thank you.
