After a decade of research, development, and collaboration, manipesto, a proud DICT Startup Grant Fund grantee, has officially launched its QR-based digital passenger manifest system at Jordan Wharf, Guimaras.

Through its "Register Once, Scan-to-Board, Clear without Paper" innovation, passengers can now register just once and use a single QR code for succeeding ferry trips between Jordan Wharf and Parola Ferry Terminal eliminating the need to repeatedly fill out paper passenger manifests.

The system is now available across participating ferry operators, making boarding faster, more convenient, and more secure while supporting maritime passenger safety through digital transformation.

Before its official rollout on June 23, 2026, manipesto successfully conducted a dry run alongside ferry operators, the Philippine Coast Guard Sub-Station Jordan, and the Jordan Municipal Tourism Office to ensure a smooth transition to hybrid operations.

The launch marks an important milestone not only for the Municipality of Jordan but also for the Philippine startup ecosystem demonstrating how homegrown innovation, strengthened through the DICT Startup Grant Fund, can modernize public services and create meaningful impact for communities.

At KWADRA TBI, we are proud to celebrate startups like manipesto that are transforming bold ideas into solutions that improve everyday lives.

Taking the leap from its pilot test launching last year, manipesto is set to conclude its 10-year long developmental stage journey with its official grand launching this coming ๐“๐ฎ๐ž๐ฌ๐๐š๐ฒ, ๐‰๐ฎ๐ง๐ž ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘, ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”.

Bringing its digitalization efforts for maritime passenger safety back to its roots, the project is to be implemented in the trips going to and fro the Parola Ferry Terminal - Jordan Wharf (v.v) route, where passengers are anticipated to scan their manipestoยฉ passenger QRs before boarding instead of writing in the paper-based passengers manifest.

Passengers can now use their manipestoยฉ passenger QRs to ride on any ferry for all trips coming from and going to Jordan Wharf. The project's "scan-to-board" procedure is now available for the trips of:
โ€ข Guimaras Island Transport Multi-Purpose Cooperative (Jordan Ferries)
โ€ข Buenavista and Jordan Ferry, Inc. (MV Micole, MB Balabag, MB Manoc-Manoc)
โ€ข 3S Marine Transport Services Corporation (MB 3'S Uno)

In preparation for the official launching next week, a dry-run of the project's "Register Once, Scan-to-Board, Clear without Paper" process will be carried out this ๐…๐ซ๐ข๐๐š๐ฒ, ๐‰๐ฎ๐ง๐ž ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ—, ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”, in the trips coming from Jordan Wharf together with the ferry operators, the Philippine Coast Guard Sub-Station Jordan, and the Jordan Municipal Tourism Office.

During the dry-run, the "scan-to-board" operates side-by-side with the existing paper-based manual manifest in order not to impede with the current operations of the port.

To participate, passengers are instructed to avail of their QR codes in advance via manipesto.ph/register Those without phones can approach the tourism staff in order to be issued a temporary physical passenger QR. Remember, you only need to register once and use the same QR for every trip.

Just in case a mistake in the details of your registration, you can register for a new one. And lastly, registering for a manipestoยฉ passenger QR is ๐…๐‘๐„๐„!

In line with the municipality's festivities, a short program will be held in the New Tourism Building at the Jordan Wharf to officially open the official use of the manipestoยฉ system as the Municipality of Jordan's digital passengers manifest system and as the project's pioneering implementer. Starting June 23, 2026, all trips plying the route of Jordan Wharf - Parola Ferry Terminal (v.v.) are set to operate a hybrid operation with the project's QR scanning process working together with the manual manifest as registration campaigns officially kick-off.

The project's implementation and grand launching is made possible with the commitment of several government agencies in upholding maritime passenger safety. From the funding support of DICTโ€™s Startup Grant Fund, the enforcement authorities of the MARINA and PCG, to the multi-council collaborative efforts of the DILG.

manipestoยฉ progressed beyond an automated listing tool to becoming a collaborative initiative in making sea travel safer and convenient for every passenger.

As part of MARINA's nationwide efforts on digitalization in the maritime sector, manipesto.ph recently kickstarted its national rollouts from its very own hometown with the signed Memorandum of Agreement between ARKITEK and the Municipality of Jordan for the project's mandatory usage in trips going to and fro the Parola Ferry Terminal - Jordan Wharf route.

The MOA signing took place on the 7th of May 2026 at the Municipal Conference Hall, Poblacion, Jordan, Guimaras and was witnessed by MROVI's Regional Director Engr. Bernardo A. Pollo together with the District Commander of CGDWV Commo. Ludovico D. Librilla Jr., DILG MLGOO for Jordan, and representatives from the DICTVI.
