The Galactic bulge region is a rich host of variable X-ray and gamma-ray point sources. Since AO-3 we are monitoring about 140 of them with one hexagonal pattern about every 3 days whenever it is visible by INTEGRAL. Due to the high scientific return and in order to preserve the continuity with respect to past observations of this ever-changing region we propose to continue our successful program. Our main aim is to monitor and actively report on any (transient) activity in the long run the program will provide regular and homogeneous inputs about the soft and hard-X-ray (transient) population as well as on the accretion regimes in the various types of binary systems. Because of the new format since AO-7 and as a service to the scientific community the observations are to be made public immediately. We intend to continue to make the IBIS/ISGRI and JEM-X quick-look results publicly available through the web as soon as possible after the data are made available so to preserve the possibility for rapid follow-up by the community.
