Second phase of business permits streamlining project held
The second phase in a series of workshops under the Streamlining Business Registration Procedure (SBRP) project to be implemented by the city will be conducted on July 24th at the Sarabia Manor Hotel here. The SBRP is a collaboration between the Department of Trade, Central Philippine University and Industry and the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ).
An earlier public Forum on the improvement and documentation of business registration procedures was held last March 20th and was attended by various stakeholders from the private and government sectors.
The forum was contrived to solicit comments and observations regarding the streamlining of business permits processing and to present the suggested flow chart for new business investors and individuals who will process renewal of business licenses.
"The second phase will now be a workshop to identify the particular flow and work units in the actual implementation of the improvement measures as suggested by the stakeholders during the first meeting," Mayor Jerry P. Treñas said.
Those invited to the workshop are city offices that handle business permit registration procedures like the treasurer's, business permits and licensing, planning and development, administrator's, bureau of fire safety and protection offices, barangay centers and the executive assistants authorized by Treñas to sign the business permits in the mayor's behalf.
"The lecturer will also orient the participants regarding International Standards Organization (ISO) requirements needed to be implemented for us to qualify to this level, since being ISO certified means that we have attained a high quality of service," Treñas further stated.
