00:00Sa gitna ng mga isyong kinakarap na ating bansa,
00:03isang kabataang Pinoy ang gumamit ng artificial intelligence,
00:07hindi para sa pansariling interest, kundi para tumulong sa paglaban sa corruption.
00:14Sa pamagitan ng technology, binibigyan ito ng kapangyarihan ng ordinary mamayan upang maging bantay ng bayan.
00:21Isang akbang patungo sa mas transparent at mas tapat na pamahalaan.
00:25All the way from California, USA, makakasama natin ng creator and software developer
00:30ng One Village, One Volunteer, trained, educated, and community-centered,
00:35concerned citizen confronting corruption in construction o mas kilala bilang OVOG tech.
00:42No other than, Guillen Alingo.
00:44Good morning and welcome to Rise and Shine, Pilipinas.
00:49Good morning.
00:50Good morning.
00:50Thank you for having me.
00:51Hi, Gian. This is Prof. Fi together with eyes.
00:55Can you explain to us what OVOG tech is? Go ahead.
01:01So, OVOG tech, isa po itong platform, online platform,
01:05na isa po siyang listing ng mga proyekto ng mga gobyerno.
01:11So, ang pinagkaiba po niya is lahat ng information po dito
01:15ay nanggagaling mismo sa mga citizen ng Pilipinas.
01:19Wala po kaming affiliation sa government.
01:23So, lahat po ng mga posts, ito po ay nilalagay ng mga voluntaryo.
01:28At kaya, ito po ang talagang key aspect kung bakit ito mas makalaga,
01:34na ipopromote po niya na ang government transparency.
01:39Ayan. So, can you explain naman sa amin, paano ba ito nagwo-work?
01:45Can you walk us through how does this software or program works?
01:51So, sa ngayon po, kahit anong user, pwede po nilang makita lahat ng posts.
01:57Meron po kami mga voluntaryo na ito na tawag namin eksperto.
02:01At sila po, pwede po silang gumawa ng posts,
02:05lalagyan nila yung title ng proyekto, lalagyan nila yung address,
02:09pwede silang kumuha ng larawan, tsaka video.
02:12At sila din po ang mag-a-analyze kung gaano ka,
02:17kung nagawa ba ito ng tama, tama ba ang mga nangyayari,
02:21nangyayari po ba ito, at tsaka nagagamit na po ba ang proyekto ito.
02:27Tapos, ang mga citizen po na iba, pwede nilang i-view ang mga posts na ito,
02:32at pwede nilang, pwede silang sumang-ayon o di sumang-ayon sa analysis ng mga eksperto namin.
02:39Ang galing no? I understand you are a computer student and all the way from US,
02:44pero you are socially and politically aware on the different issues that we have here in the country.
02:52So, what really inspired you to create this above tech?
02:56You know, as a young computer science student. Go ahead.
03:01So, of course, I grew up in the Philippines, dinaman.
03:06I have a feel for what goes around in the country,
03:09and I'm very passionate about what goes along at home.
03:14So, I wanted to contribute something.
03:16I wanted to build something that could solve a real problem.
03:19And so, a few months ago, I saw this issue that was happening, and I decided to take action.
03:25And that's where we are today. We have OvoTech now.
03:28Okay. I'm just curious.
03:31How did you create this, you know, computer science, this whole programming lang to, and with the help of the AI?
03:39Yes. So, I did self-study web development for a couple years to put everything together.
03:49And as for our AI model, right now, we don't have enough data to release the model into public.
03:57But what will happen is, as we get more volunteers and more people posting on the platform,
04:03I will be able to train this model to copy someone or imitate the analyses that our experts have.
04:11And hopefully, in the future, it will be able to aid them in what they're doing in their analyses.
04:17Okay. I'd just like to clarify.
04:20This OvoTech still started in the Philippines, although you're in U.S., of course,
04:25the target audience here are the people from the Philippines.
04:28But you're going to expand this sa ibang bansa, like sa Indonesia and Malaysia.
04:34What could be the challenges and opportunities do you see in scaling the platform internationally?
04:42Yeah. So, the vision we have is for this to become a bigger platform
04:46because it's really – it doesn't have to be just construction projects.
04:52So, I've reached out to other youth leaders in Indonesia and Malaysia,
04:57and now we're working towards adapting the platform to fit any type of government project.
05:04So, right now, what's the biggest challenge, I guess, is looking for more volunteers in other countries,
05:11but also to adapt the platform to fit their needs.
05:16Right. So, looking ahead naman, ano yung biggest vision mo for OvoTech sa future,
05:21bukod sa pag-expand ito internationally?
05:26Of course, beyond it being a worldwide, well-used platform,
05:32the goal really is to remind people that we can take action
05:37and that we should promote government transparency as much as possible.
05:44So, really, just spreading the word as much as possible is all that I would like to happen.
05:49And even right now, for anybody who wants to have their stake in this action,
05:54we have our volunteer applications open.
05:57So, on the website, the applications are open.
05:59All the instructions there to apply.
06:01That would be great if you can volunteer.
06:04And if volunteering is not for you, you can always support us on social media.
06:08We have our Facebook and Instagram.
06:10Let's help spread the word together.
06:11Diba?
06:12Iba pa rin yung people's initiative with these issues that you're making yourself relevant
06:17because you are a citizen of the Philippines.
06:21And good thing we have there.
06:22And very good yung sinabi niya, no?
06:24If you can't really produce one, at least support initiatives like this.
06:28So, looking forward for more support from the Filipino people
06:32with your project that would really help us enlighten ourselves
06:36about different issues that we have here,
06:39especially with concerns with flood control.
06:42On that note, thank you so much, Gian, for sharing your work and your vision.
06:46Vobtec reminds us that technology, when used with purpose,
06:50can help create positive change.
