Region-Wide ICT Needs & Fund Allocation Analysis

Gap vs. Surplus by fund category

Legal (SPLIT-ALI) and Adjudication (Reissuance) are the two funding sources; MARPO/DARMO can draw from either. MARPO/DARMO offices are capped at one computer per office and already meet that minimum almost everywhere, so Legal Division now carries the region's Gap while MARPO/DARMO's surplus is the largest reallocation opportunity. The one exception is Catanduanes, which has no DARMO offices: its LTID office is counted here but is entitled one computer per employee instead, like Legal Division and Adjudication.

Computer Coverage & Gap vs. Manpower Complement (119 offices)

Coverage % = share of employees with at least one working laptop or desktop, an office-by-office staffing fact that stays the same regardless of policy. Gap and Surplus, however, are computed against each office's actual entitlement: Legal Division and Adjudication offices need one computer per employee, while MARPO/DARMO offices are capped at one computer per office, so a province can show a large Gap alongside low DARMO coverage without the two moving together. Measured against entitlement rather than raw headcount, the region meets 249 of 315 needed units (79.0%): all 102 MARPO/DARMO offices and Catanduanes' LTID office already meet their computer entitlement, and the remaining gap is entirely in Legal Division and Adjudication.

Printer connectivity: before vs. after cleansing

Printer connectivity was checked against manufacturer specs rather than taken at face value. Most units logged as "Regular" actually support WiFi, so the real printer inventory is majority network-capable.

Replacement needs & 2-year outlook (5-year useful life)

Laptops and desktops older than 5 years are due for replacement: 25 laptops and 29 desktops region-wide. MARPO/DARMO is capped at 1 replacement per office — an office with several aging units still only counts once, for its oldest unit.

2-Year Outlook

Adds units that turn 6 within the next 1-2 years, so procurement can plan ahead of the replacement cycle instead of reacting to it each year. Same scope as above: laptops and desktops only.

Projected Personnel Growth & ICT Impact

22 of 119 offices reported an expected increase in COS-SPLIT personnel; offices that reported nothing, or explicitly expect no growth, are excluded here since they add no computable ICT need. MARPO/DARMO offices are capped at 1 computer regardless of staff count, so growth there almost never creates additional computer need — the one exception is Catanduanes' LTID office, counted under MARPO/DARMO below but entitled per employee like Legal Division and Adjudication.

Semi-Expendable Wishlist Costing (371 items · 8 DARRO/DARPOs)

Costs are Quantity × Estimated Unit Cost from each province's submission, covering ICT equipment plus other semi-expendable property (furniture, power backup, connectivity) requested alongside it. Click a province to see every item requested, grouped by office and fund category.

By item category

This breaks down the ₱20,230,641 total by item category, separating core-ICT cost (Computers, Printers & Imaging) from non-ICT semi-expendable property (Furniture, Power backup, Other), since SPLIT-ALI and Adjudication funds are limited to ICT purchases.

Computers alone are 62% of the total cost on 22% of the item count, the single biggest cost driver by a wide margin. 14 items across the other categories have no unit price on file (see below); the true regional total is higher than ₱20,230,641.

Wishlist vs. Computed Need (computers & printers)

This checks whether each office's wishlist request matches what the data shows they need. For computers, "need" is the Gap plus units due for replacement. For printers, it's based on how many of an office's printers are already shared over the network versus dedicated to one desk. A request can reasonably be higher than the computed need, for example to plan for growth, so "need" is a floor, not a hard limit. A few provinces filed one combined request covering several offices at once; those are checked against the combined need of every office they cover.

Final printer ask (after checking each request against the office's own numbers)

Only offices whose current printers lean toward Regular (dedicated) over Network Sharing are carried into this ask — a sign that too many staff have no shared printer to fall back on. For each one, the number counted is whichever is smaller: what the office requested, or how large that Regular-minus-Network-Sharing gap actually is in its own current printer count. Two combined DARMO requests — Camarines Sur 1 and Camarines Sur 2 — asked for far more printers (21 and 19) than their own gap supports, so those two were brought down to 5 each to match; every other office's request already fit its own gap and needed no adjustment.
