⚠️ CRITICAL: AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement

These prompts teach you HOW to structure requests to AI, they are NOT autopilot for government work.

  • YOU are responsible for reviewing all AI outputs for RA 9184 compliance
  • AI outputs are DRAFTS, not final, legally-binding documents
  • Always verify with GPPB guidelines, DILG requirements, and legal counsel
  • Learn to modify these prompts for your specific situations, don’t just copy-paste
  • Understand the process first – if you don’t know procurement law, AI can’t fix that

Use AI to work faster, not to skip learning. You still need to understand what you’re doing.

Real-world AI testing: Can it handle Philippine government procurement docs?
This prompt collection was built WITH Claude 4.5 for actual Barangay staff doing RA 9184 compliance.

These aren’t theory prompts, they’re for Barangay officials who need RFQs, BAC resolutions, and bidding documents yesterday.
If your AI can’t generate a compliant Invitation to Bid from a prompt, it’s not production-ready.

Why this matters: Filipino LGUs need AI tools that understand local procurement law, not generic templates.
This is what AI adoption looks like when bureaucracy meets deadlines.
