Option S3 keys is also present from the very start. With this setup, as a new member of the site, you can

  • download EO data as files, using Zipper.

After the Operator approves your request for an organization, they will be able to accept role requests for that organization, if there are any.

If needed, sign in to CopPhil MyServices using this link: http://application.infra.copphil.philsa.gov.ph/
