Integrity Chain Briefing Gathers 51 Organizations to Push for Transparency in Public Infrastructure

Makati, September 24, 2025— With public trust in government weakening and citizens demanding solutions, 51 organizations came together for the Founders’ Briefing of Integrity Chain, a secured, shared platform that aims to track every peso spent on public infrastructure.

Opening the program, Sir Donald Patrick Lim posed the central challenge: “Now, how do we make public infrastructure projects transparent, tamper-proof, and trusted by everyone?” His answer: Integrity Chain, a collaborative system where businesses, civil society groups, and organizations work together to verify every step of government projects

Integrity Chain uses blockchain-inspired principles, functioning like a tamper-proof ledger where transactions are permanently recorded. “Blockchain is like an accounting ledger where transactions are recorded,” Lim explained, recalling Bam Aquino’s earlier proposal to place the national budget on blockchain. He further noted that blockchain is already widely used in supply chains, financial transactions, and more, proving its practical value in governance.

Paul Soliman outlined how this will apply in practice: DPWH files will be uploaded on the blockchain, ensuring accessibility and immutability. “Even if an incorrect data file is uploaded, the evidence remains on the public blockchain forever—holding people accountable,” he said.

How Integrity Chain Works

Integrity Chain is built on a multi-layered framework that combines technology, transparency, and citizen participation. Each layer strengthens accountability and ensures that every peso spent on public infrastructure can be traced, verified, and trusted:

Ledger Layer – Provides an immutable log of projects where records cannot be tampered with or deleted. Includes accountability markers, geo-tagged data, public IDs, and hashed contracts to link physical projects with verifiable digital records.

Data Layer – Offers searchable portals where stakeholders can access validated project data in a user-friendly format.

Security Layer – Equips auditors and validators with unique blockchain IDs to authenticate their actions, ensuring only verified actors can participate in validation.

Citizen Participation Layer – Enables citizens to share feedback, reports, or observations directly into the system, giving communities a direct role in monitoring government projects.

Together, these layers ensure that data is tamper-proof, secure, transparent, and participatory, transforming public infrastructure governance into a system citizens can trust.

Three Ways to Participate

Integrity Chain is designed as an open and inclusive platform, with three distinct ways for stakeholders to engage:

Validator – Independent validators confirm the accuracy of government project records. Validation may be done digitally through the DBM’s blockchain site, Project DIME, or through physical site visits and audits.

Observer – Participants may serve as observers, monitoring the process and gaining visibility into how public funds are being tracked and validated.

Supporter – Individuals and organizations may contribute as supporters, providing resources or advocacy to strengthen the reach and sustainability of Integrity Chain.

Governance & Safeguards

To guarantee independence, accountability, and fairness, Integrity Chain is backed by clear governance structures:

Nonprofit Foundation Charter – Managed by a nonprofit organization to ensure transparency and accountability.

Blind Trust Funding – Operations are funded by anonymous contributions, shielding the platform from political or corporate influence.

Democratic Voting – Every participating organization is granted one vote, ensuring equal say regardless of size or resources.

Code of Conduct – Members are bound by ethical standards to maintain integrity in validation and participation.

Data Policy – Strong safeguards protect sensitive information while keeping project records open and accessible to the public.

The briefing drew strong government participation, with Usec. Anton of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), DTI Secretary Fred Pascual, and Usec. Raffy of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) present, affirming the importance of cross-sector collaboration in protecting public resources.

Call to Action

The Founders’ Briefing marks the first step in shaping Integrity Chain into a multi-sector movement to institutionalize accountability in public infrastructure spending. Moving forward, Integrity Chain calls on:

Trade organizations, NGOs, universities, and newsrooms — to step up as founding validators or observers.

Companies and philanthropies — to help fund independence through the blind trust model.

Citizens — to actively use the data, provide feedback, and hold projects accountable.

Through shared responsibility, Integrity Chain aims to make governance in the Philippines more transparent, participatory, and trusted.

About Integrity Chain

Integrity Chain is a secured, shared platform where government, business, civil society, and organizations collaborate to verify every step of public infrastructure projects. Built on blockchain-inspired technology, sustained by a blind trust model, and supported through validator, observer, and supporter participation, it ensures that every peso spent is transparently tracked, permanently recorded, and safeguarded from tampering. Governance is secured through a nonprofit foundation, democratic voting, and strict codes of conduct and data policy.

DTI-Design Center powers IDC 2025: A Global Platform for Design-led Transformation

The Design Center of the Philippines, an attached agency of the Department of Trade and Industry, proudly announces the 9th edition of the International Design Conference (IDC), taking place on 26 September 2025 at Samsung Hall, SM Aura Premier, Taguig City. As the flagship event of Design Consciousness Week and a co-branded highlight of Philippine Creative Industries Month, IDC 2025 reasserts its role as the region’s premier thought leadership platform for design-driven innovation and strategic foresight.

 

With the theme “Holding the Whole: Designing for Collective Flourishing,” IDC 2025 invites designers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and business leaders to explore how design can reframe systems, restore relationships, and unlock shared agency across sectors. This year’s program challenges participants to move beyond aesthetics and functionality - embracing design as a life-centered, regenerative force for transformation.

 

The conference will also underscore the urgency of systems change, recognizing that climate change, economic inequality, and social crises are deeply interconnected and cannot be addressed in isolation. Addressing these challenges requires redesigning how systems operate and evolve, so communities and the planet can thrive together. Design, in this context, becomes a strategic tool for reimagining outcomes at scale.

 

Now in its ninth year, IDC has become a cornerstone of ASEAN’s design ecosystem, convening global and local voices to interrogate the intersections of design, technology, business, and governance. In 2023, IDC was honored with the Silver Anvil Award in the Arts, Culture, Heritage, and Tourism category - recognizing its impact in shaping national conversations and catalyzing creative industries toward inclusive growth, cultural resilience, and design-led policy innovation.

 

“Design is not a luxury. It is central to how we build economies, shape policy, and imagine futures. IDC 2025 is our call to action: to design with courage, with care, and with consequence. The Design Center is proud to convene this platform for collective flourishing, where ideas move beyond inspiration and into individual, societal, and economic transformation,” said Rhea Matute, Executive Director of the Design Center of the Philippines.

 

IDC 2025 features two powerhouse keynote speakers whose work has redefined the boundaries of design and innovation. B. Joseph Pine II, co-author of The Experience Economy, is a globally renowned business theorist whose frameworks have transformed how companies create value. His concept of the Transformation Economy - where businesses stage experiences that guide personal and societal change - has influenced Fortune 500 strategies, national policy dialogues, and academic institutions worldwide. Pine’s work has been published in over 15 languages and cited as one of the most important contributions to modern business thinking.

 

Joining him is Professor Eisuke Tachikawa, founder and CEO of NOSIGNER, a design strategist whose work spans disaster resilience, climate adaptation, and social innovation. A recipient of over 150 international design awards, Tachikawa pioneered Evolutional Creativity, a methodology inspired by biological evolution that empowers changemakers across industries. He currently serves on the Board of the World Design Organization and led the Japan Pavilion concept for Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai.

 

Alongside these global voices, IDC 2025 will also feature leading Filipino designers, strategists, and institutional leaders whose work reflects the country’s evolving design landscape. Among them are Jen Horn, facilitator, writer, and creator of Pagbubuo & Ugnayan Cards;  Sarah Queblatin, founding executive director of Green Releaf Initiative; Carl Cervantes, author of Sikodiwa; Bella Tanjutco, co-founder of Kids for Kids Philippines;  Erwan Heussaff, founder of The Fat Kid Inside Inc.;  Maisie Littaua,  country manager of Canva Philippines;  Marga Valdes, head of sales & marketing at BEAVALDES;  Raf Dionisio, co-founder of Making a Difference Travel; and  Dr. Nikki Carsi Cruz, department chair at Ateneo de Manila University.

 

Their contributions will deepen the dialogue around design’s role in shaping inclusive economies, resilient communities, and culturally grounded innovation.

 

Through immersive sessions - Break, Make, and Become - IDC 2025 will surface emerging practices, provoke critical reflection, and build shared understanding across disciplines. These sessions are designed not just to inform, but to activate; enabling participants to dismantle outdated paradigms, prototype new possibilities, and commit to design as a tool for systemic change.

 

The IDC 2025 is free and open to professionals across design, policy, enterprise, and education.
