Himamaylan Mayor Raymund Tongson received the commendation from ARTA director-general Ernesto Perez in a ceremony held at City Hall June 25. The award is for the efforts of the local government unit to digitize and fast-track processes for businesses in the locality.
“The speedy processing of documents assures businesses in Himamaylan that we are doing our best in providing competent and up-to-date services,” Tongson stressed.
He said the successful full implementation of eBOSS in the city will not be possible without the support of city government personnel, and the compliance of businesses and stakeholders.
The eBOSS program is in compliance with the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018. The Himamaylan LGU has fully automated, end-to-end, its business permitting and licensing processes for both new and renewal applications.
Tongson, in a press release June 26, thanked the Office of the President, Perez, the Department of Information and Communications Technology, ARTA regional officials, and the people behind the city government for supporting the digitalization program.
Himamaylan City is also the first LGU in Negros to host the ARTA Bagong Pilipinas town hall meeting.
It was held to inform barangays of Himamaylan of ARTA’s initiatives to simplify and automate government processes, along with the agency’s regulatory reform programs and activities. ||
