The Philippine Fisheries Development Authority recently included four new systems to the PFDA Corporate Information Systems Portal which include the Online Planning and Accomplishment Reporting System, Vehicle Dispatch System, Human Resource Information System, and the Online Leave and Pass Slip Application System. 

Led by the Corporate Planning and Management Information Services Department - Information Technology Division (CPMISD-ITD), the establishment of the portal is in line with the agency’s commitment to develop the automation of various internal services that will provide better services to its employees, clients, stakeholders, and the general public. 

The Online Planning and Accomplishment Reporting System (OPARS) is an application designed to allow online preparation and submission of plans and programs, budget proposals, and monthly accomplishment reports  based on the Agency’s vision and geared towards the direction and priorities of top management. 

The Vehicle Dispatch System (VDS) is a web-based application that aims to improve delivery of service, increase efficiency in the scheduling of vehicles and drivers, facilitate vehicle monitoring, and provide an efficient and effective reporting system.

The Human Resources Information System (HRIS) is an online solution that collects, stores, and transforms employee personal data into useful information needed for timely and efficient decision-making for management.

Finally, the Online Leave and Pass Slip Application System (OLAPAS) automates the stages involved in leave application and pass slip requests, from filing the requests to approval or rejection.

The addition of the four new systems was put into effect by PFDA Office Order No. 22 (s. 2020), which is an addendum to PFDA Office Order No. 11 (s. 2019) on the adoption of the PFDA Computerized Systems. The Office Order shall take effect in the PFDA Central Office and its Regional Fish Ports upon installation of computerized systems in each RFPs.

Other services in the PFDA Corporate Information Systems Portal include the Administrative Management Information System, Preventive Maintenance System, Daily Time Record System, Document Tracking System, IT Support Ticketing System, Acknowledgement Receipt for Equipment System, Integrated Corporate Reporting System, Online Contract Monitoring System with Client Mapping, Project Monitoring System, Modified Integrated Corporate Reporting System, and Key Performance Indicator.
