Despite its potential alignment with digital government principles such as co-creation and citizen participation, literature on sharing economy within digital government remains limited. Moreover, this study also highlights the untapped potential of the sharing economy model during crises presenting an avenue for enhanced government responsiveness. Recognizing Facebook’s prevalence in digital government initiatives through the years, this study investigates its suitability as a platform for fostering sharing economy in government contexts. Specifically, this paper aims to shed light on how governments and the public sector can take advantage of social media platforms like Facebook in implementing the sharing economy model effectively. Through a two-pronged approach, a comprehensive review of related literature and a focused case study from one city government in the Philippines were conducted. This country was selected for its high sharing attitudes, social media usage, and e-participation providing valuable insights especially for governments sharing similar socio-technological contexts such as those from the Global South and developing economies. Considerations for future policies and future research pathways were also presented. Keyword Sharing Economy
