The CADENA Act would create a secure online portal where every national agency must upload budget, procurement and audit data within a week of issuance, letting anyone view, search and download the information. A council of government officials and citizen representatives would set standards, monitor compliance and impose penalties, while the DICT would host the system. The law applies to all national departments, agencies and GOCCs, but not to local governments.
