7.2 E-Governance Portals
E-government applies the portal pattern to citizens, businesses and other government agencies. The Philippines is rolling out eGovPH as a unified front door for hundreds of agency services. This lesson maps the maturity model and the local stack.

| Bilingual UI | English plus regional language where served |
| Brownout tolerance | Queue-based design, idempotent submissions |
