Migration report National Research Council of the PhilippinesAutomated assessment and rebuild of nrcp.dost.gov.ph on the BetterGov Kapwa design standard. |
The agent crawled nrcp.dost.gov.ph, kept 30 of 30 pages, and rebuilt them as 153 structured content blocks. It recorded 72 accessibility findings on 27 pages, corrected in the rebuild, and 44 items on 19 pages that need a person to confirm before any of this is published.
RE:GOV stops a run when a site’s robots.txt shuts crawlers out or its terms forbid automated access or republishing, and site owners can opt out at any time. How the crawler works.

| Largest content visible | 1.2 s | 1.8 s | 49% slower |

Each homepage was opened in a fresh browser with no cache at 1280 × 900, twice, keeping the faster time. Both were measured from the RE:GOV server on October 27, 2026; the rebuild is served through regov.app. Speed on a phone or a slow connection will differ, but the gap in weight and requests holds.
Each accessibility finding on the original site is tagged with the WCAG 2.2 success criterion it breaks. Every rebuilt page was then tested with axe-core 4.14.0 against the WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 Level A and AA rules.
| Criterion | Level | Original site | Rebuild |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1.1 Non-text Content | A | 7 findings | Passes automated check |
| 1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded) | A | 8 findings | Needs manual check |
| 1.3.1 Info and Relationships | A | 8 findings | Passes automated check |
| 1.4.1 Use of Color | A | 1 finding | Passes automated check |
| 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) | AA | 22 findings | Passes automated check |
| 1.4.4 Resize Text | AA | 2 findings | Passes automated check |
| 1.4.5 Images of Text | AA | 1 finding | Needs manual check |
| 1.4.10 Reflow | AA | 1 finding | Needs manual check |
| 1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus | AA | 3 findings | Needs manual check |
| 2.1.1 Keyboard | A | 7 findings | Needs manual check |
| 2.4.3 Focus Order | A | 5 findings | Needs manual check |
| 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) | A | 1 finding | Passes automated check |
| 2.4.6 Headings and Labels | AA | 8 findings | Needs manual check |
| 2.4.7 Focus Visible | AA | 2 findings | Needs manual check |
| 3.2.2 On Input | A | 2 findings | Needs manual check |
| 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions | A | 13 findings | Passes automated check |
| 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value | A | 13 findings | Passes automated check |
Automated tools catch roughly a third of WCAG issues. Criteria marked “Needs manual check” (for example keyboard use, focus order, captions and meaningful link text) need a person with a keyboard and a screen reader before the agency can claim conformance. 14 findings are good practice without a specific WCAG criterion.
Noun-phrase prompts (logo, search box, map, infographic, photograph) on the original first screen, before any page was rewritten. The seal was cut out and reused as the new site’s brand mark.

Cut from the SAM 3.1 logo mask. Used in the header, footer and social previews of the rebuilt site.
The old site’s photos stay where they carry facts (officials, events). New artwork is generated only for decoration, from a brief Muse Spark wrote from the site plan: “Morning light bathes the DOST Science Complex in Bicutan, Taguig, with Laguna de Bay glimmering beyond, a Philippine flag flying on a tall pole before low-rise research halls and the PAGASA planetarium dome. Filipino scientists in lab coats and barong examine rice grains and mango samples under microscopes with beakers and petri dishes in a QualiSafe-type food lab, while a senior mentor guides young Moro and Visayan scholars carrying bound theses, red-white-blue-yellow accents glowing in morning sun.” Muse Image is told never to draw text, seals or logos. The artwork is decoration only (screen readers skip it), and every page of the rebuilt site says it is an unofficial, AI-generated concept.
Issues Muse Spark observed on the original pages. The rebuilt site addresses them with semantic headings, real text instead of images of text, labelled controls and WCAG AA contrast.

Every site RE:GOV produces is an unofficial, AI-generated concept. It is not operated by, endorsed by, or affiliated with any government agency, local government unit, university, hospital or other public body, and it is not a substitute for their official websites. For services, transactions, forms and current information, always use the official website.
Content is migrated automatically from publicly available pages, or from Wayback Machine captures when a site blocks crawlers, and may be incomplete, outdated or wrong. Illustrations are AI-generated, not photographs. Hotline numbers come from BetterGov.ph’s public dataset and the source site; verify before relying on them. Weather is from Open-Meteo and is not a PAGASA advisory. Every rebuilt page links back to its original. Agencies may request changes or removal through GitHub issues.
