The Department of the Interior and Local Government issued Opinion No. 135 s.2022 stating that local government units should not impose unreasonable restrictions on the use of mobile applications like CamScanner for scanning documents. While LGUs have the power to reasonably regulate businesses, they cannot prohibit the use of scanning apps which are legitimate tools that provide convenience and help in digitalization. LGUs were advised to balance public interest and individual rights and reconsider policies that unreasonably limit the use of scanning applications.
