The Cebu City Government CitiFine Project recently earned national recognition after winning a silver award in the DOST-Wadhwani Cohort II Smart Cities Capstone Demo Day held at Bayview Hotel, Manila.
The CitiFine system, developed through a partnership between the Cebu City Government and the Department of Science and Technology Region VII (DOST-7), automates the tracking, management, and payment of city ordinance violations.
By integrating real-time monitoring, SMS notifications, and online payment options, the platform streamlines enforcement while promoting transparency and efficiency in local governance.
The project supports the city’s e-traffic citation ticket program, jointly implemented by the Management Information and Computer Services (MICS) and the Cebu City Transportation Office (CCTO).
The project is aimed at reducing paperwork, improving compliance, and offering residents a more convenient way to settle minor infractions.
CitiFine’s silver finish follows DOST-7’s third-place win in Cohort I with EventSure, marking back-to-back recognition for the region in the DOST-Wadhwani Technopreneurship Program.
The program equips regional innovators with skills in design thinking, startup development, and technology application to solve real-world community challenges.
The Capstone Demo Day showcased top-performing smart city solutions from across the country, with CitiFine emerging as one of the standout entries for its practical impact and scalable design.
