History and Context of StaySafe
The official contact tracing app of the Philippines is StaySafe.PH, however multiple communities within the country have adopted other forms of digital contact tracing: Valenzuela has ValTrace; the company MYEG Philippines, Inc. developed MyEGuard; South Cotabato has the South Cotabato COVID-19 Contact Tracing System (SCCCTS); among others.
